Plot
[edit]The film talks about heartbreaks and rebound relationships. Raghav is a story writer and gets his first major break in movies to write about a love story. He takes inspiration from his own life to write the story.
Act 1: Friendship and Relationships
[edit]Raghav, Sanya, and Sahir are inseparable. However, as they grow older, the dynamics between them change. Sanya and Sahir, once just friends, start dating each other, while Raghav finds himself in a relationship with Riya Mathur (Naila Grewal). Both couples seem happy, but underlying insecurities and immaturity begin to surface.
Act 2: Heartbreaks and Emotional Turmoil
[edit]Sanya and Sahir's relationship starts to crumble due to trust issues and Sahir's growing ambitions. On the other hand, Raghav and Riya’s relationship faces challenges because of Riya’s controlling nature and Raghav’s indecisiveness about his future. Both relationships eventually end, leaving Sanya and Raghav emotionally shattered.
Act 3: The Rebound Connection
[edit]To cope with their heartbreaks, Raghav and Sanya decide to go on a trip together, along with their group of friends. During this trip, Raghav and Sanya spend significant time together and begin to bond over their shared experiences of love and loss. They start developing feelings for each other but remain hesitant to act on them, fearing it might ruin their friendship.
Act 4: Raghav’s Journey as a Writer
[edit]Raghav, an aspiring writer, finds inspiration in his own emotional journey. He begins to work on a script for a romantic drama based on his experiences with love, heartbreak, and the complexity of modern relationships. Sanya becomes his muse, but he struggles to confess his feelings to her, fearing rejection and the possible impact on their friendship.
Act 5: The Climax
[edit]The climax of the film takes place during a confrontation where Sahir, still harboring feelings for Sanya, tries to win her back. This forces Raghav to confront his emotions and confess his love for Sanya. The situation leads to an emotional revelation for all the characters, where they reflect on their past mistakes and the true meaning of love and friendship.
Act 6: Resolution
[edit]In the end, Sanya chooses Raghav over Sahir, recognizing the depth of their connection. The film concludes with Raghav completing his screenplay, which becomes a metaphor for their journey together.

Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 29% of 7 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.5/10.[15]
A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Ishq Vishk Rebound has youthful appeal but it suffers due to a weak second half."[16]
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "Ishq Vishk Rebound starts off as being a frothy romantic comedy but then loses its fizz midway. Watch it if you have a yen for rom coms and have to catch every such outing…"[17]
Bhavna Agarwal of India Today gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "The major problem with the film is not that it makes rebound seem 'frivolous'. But, it makes a half-hearted attempt or resorts to tokenism to entertain. It is funny and cheesy, yes! But all of this without a soul, feels like a wasted opportunity."[18]
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "The best way to approach Ishq Vishk Rebound as a viewer is not to expect the world from it. At least parts of it might then pleasantly surprise you."[19]
Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint wrote, "Ishq Vishk Rebound is not a horrible movie – it has some of its better moments. There are times when the dialogues get an unexpected laugh out of you even as they remind you how inconsistent the writing has been."[20]
Mayur Sanap of Rediff.com rated 1.5/5 stars and notes "Ishq Vishk Rebound is a drab romance and dull comedy that even the intended teen audience might have a hard time keeping up with."[21]
Box office
[edit]The Film was Big Flop.The film collected ₹1 crore on its first day with a weekend total of ₹3.40 crore with a lifetime collection of ₹6.02 crore only.[22] The small box office collection is also attributed to the fact that the film was released in only around 700-800 theatres nationwide. [23]
