Ishq (transl. Love) is an Indian 1997 Hindi-language romantic masala film directed by Indra Kumar. It stars Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Juhi Chawla and Kajol along with Dalip Tahil, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Johnny Lever and Mohan Joshi in supporting roles. The music was composed by Anu Malik.
Ishq released on 28 November 1997 and emerged as a major commercial success at the box-office, grossing over ₹500 million (US$6.0 million) worldwide, ranking as the third highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its humor, soundtrack, costumes and performances of the cast, but criticism for its story and screenplay.
