Ishq Vishk (2003)

In the youthful, vibrant world of college life, we meet Rajiv, a carefree charmer who's more absorbed in his own reflections than the world around him. His mind is a playground where thoughts of girls swing high, and self-absorption slides smoothly with ease. Rajiv's life orbits around one radiant star: his best friend since childhood, Payal, a girl with a heart woven with the threads of true love. However, Rajiv remains blissfully ignorant of her affection for him, viewing her through the lens of a stereotypical "behenji". When an enticing opportunity to embark on a trip to the sun-kissed beaches of Goa arises, Rajiv is electrified. A catch, however, throws a wrench in his plans - the trip is strictly for couples. Guided by the wisdom of his best friend, Rajiv eyes Payal as his ticket to this tantalizing adventure. Payal, a steadfast believer in love, is reluctant to succumb to a whimsical weekend romance. However, Rajiv masterfully crafts an illusion of love, thus ensnaring her in his Goa plans. Their budding romance blooms amidst the murmurs of their college mates, and tricking her unsuspecting parents, Payal joins Rajiv on this journey. However, the paradise of Goa soon turns sour as Rajiv's intoxicated advances shatter Payal's dreams of love. Enraged by her rejection, Rajiv ends their farce of a relationship, vowing to woo the most beautiful girl in college before Payal can even blink. As Payal nurses her heartache with the company of Rajiv's empathetic friend, a new enchantress, Alisha, enters the college scene. With her radiant beauty, she effortlessly claims the title of the prettiest girl in college, becoming the new object of Rajiv's affection. Will Rajiv's charm ensnare Alisha as it did Payal? What becomes of Payal's unrequited love? The answers lie within the unfolding drama of Ishq Vishk, a tale that explores the intricacies of young love, friendship, and the choices that define us.
