Manish Malhotra is a brand in itself. Be it a small to big budget film or any event related to Bollywood, everything seems incomplete without his participation. In fact Manish Malhotra is not just the name of a designer. He has become a brand in himself. The story of Manish Malhotra, who added to the glory of stars, is simple and heart touching.

Journey started from boutique
Manish, born on 5 December 1966, once earned only Rs 500 a month in a small boutique in Bandra. The journey that started from there has today reached Dubai, London and Delhi after Mumbai. In an interview, he had told that he was passionate about films since childhood. Every Friday in 10th class there was a wait for a new movie. I didn’t have much interest in studies, but I had a lot of love for colors, paper and pencils. He also used to go to the market with his mother to see or buy sarees for her. Mother liked his choice. From here he started liking fashion.

Started working in boutique
Manish says that his mother was his first inspiration, who never stopped and always encouraged him. After completing his schooling, Manish started working in a boutique with this inspiration. For him, folding clothes all day long, showing them to customers and understanding designs was like finding the way to the future. He used to sit for hours in the boutique, sketching and understanding the designs. He also used to put new ideas on the page.

Got my first break from ‘Swarga’
Meanwhile, the 1990 Govinda-Juhi Chawla and Rajesh Khanna starrer film ‘Swarg’ proved to be a turning point in his career. He got his first break at the age of 25. His work in the film was well liked. After this he never looked back and continued climbing the ladder of success. After this he designed costumes for films like ‘Gumrah’ and ‘Rangeela’.

After this, Manish became a part of many successful films including ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’, ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’, ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, ‘Student of the Year’. Not only this, be it Kareena Kapoor’s wedding lehenga or Alia’s bridal look or his journey of designing Kiara Advani’s dress, he has become a fashion icon not only in Bollywood but also in the world.

Vijay Verma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah and Sharib Hashmi starrer ‘Gustakh Ishq’ is released in theaters on November 28, 2025. The trailer of this film received a lot of appreciation and love from the audience but it proved to be lackluster on the first day after its release in theatres. Amidst all this, the details of the OTT release of the film have also been revealed. Do you know when and on which platform ‘Gustak Ishq’ will debut on OTT after the theatrical run?

,‘Gustak Ishq’ OTT But when and where will it be released?
According to the report of OTT Play, ‘Gustak Ishq’ will be available for streaming on OTT four to eight weeks after its release. The report further states that the makers have signed an agreement with Jio Hotstar for its digital debut. The price at which the platform has purchased the streaming rights has not been revealed yet.

If the film follows the rules of OTT release window, then it will be released on the platform by the end of December 2025 or the end of January 2026. The makers will make its official announcement soon.

,Gustakh Ishq’ Opening Day Collection
‘Gustakh Ishq’ could not attract the audience to the theaters on the first day of its release and it had a slow start at the box office. According to Sacknilk’s early trend report, ‘Gustak Ishq’ has collected only Rs 50 lakh on the first day of its release. Now all the hopes of the makers are from the weekend. It remains to be seen how much collection this film can make on Saturday and Sunday.

What is the story of the film?
This romantic drama revolves around a young man who falls in love with the daughter of his poetry teacher, who is much older. The film shows how their love story blossoms through poetry. However, misunderstandings, unspoken feelings and suspicions challenge their love for each other.

Apart from Vijay Verma and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah and Sharib Hashim have played important roles in the film.

Vijay Verma and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s romantic drama ‘Gustakh Ishq’ has been released in theaters on 28th November. Directed by Vibhu Puri, this film is set in the 1990s, which depicts poetry, nostalgia and old-time romance, however, the film had to clash with Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s ‘Tere Ishq Mein’ at the box office. How many crores has Ishq opened with on the first day of its release?

How much did ‘Gustak Ishq’ collect on the first day of its release?
‘Gustakh Ishq’ has received a very lukewarm response on the first day at the box office. However, there was no special buzz given about the film before its release. Apart from this, it had to face tough competition from Kriti Sanon and Dhanush’s intense romantic drama ‘Tere Ishq Mein’ on the very first day, due to which Vijay Verma and Fatima’s film proved to be lackluster on the opening day. The shocking thing is that it reached lakhs on the very first day.

• According to Sacknilk’s early trade report, ‘Gustak Ishq’ has earned only Rs 50 lakh on its first day.
• Although these are preliminary figures, there may be slight changes after the arrival of official data.

,cheeky love To ‘In love with you The clash was heavy with
The total Hindi occupancy of ‘Gustakh Ishq’ was 8.61%. The film’s low numbers are due to its clash with Aanand L Rai’s ‘Tere Ishq Mein’, which earned Rs 16.50 crore on the same day. Despite the slow start, all eyes are on the weekend. If ‘Gustak Ishq’ gets positive word of mouth, its earnings may increase.

,‘Gustak Ishq’ star cast
In ‘Gustak Ishq’, Vijay Verma is in the role of Nawabuddin, Fatima Sana Sheikh is playing the role of Minnie, Naseeruddin Shah is playing the role of Aziz/Babba and Sharib Hashmi is playing the role of an attaché.

Director and choreographer Farah Khan is more popular on social media for her cooking channel than her films. I like his vlogs a lot. She goes to the houses of Bollywood celebs in the cooking channel with her cook Dilip and tries their favorite dishes there. Recently Farah Khan went to designer Manish Malhotra’s house. Where he refreshed some old memories.

Farah Khan and Manish Malhotra know each other for many years and are very good friends. The friendship between both is very deep. But both of them have also fought a lot. Farah Khan also told about her fights with Manish Malhotra. She told how Manish had become angry with Farah and they did not talk for two days.

Manish did not talk for 2 days

When Farah asked Manish to say something about her, he agreed and said – ‘Farah, choreographer and director are two different people. Farah, the choreographer, comments really, what is this? Hey how is this? How is this costume? One day I got upset and left the set. Because Juhi Chawla’s song was – Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and she was saying, this gray kurta is not moving! I was saying, you always keep commenting. When Manish gave the example of singing from Fevicall, Farah said – ‘Yes, I remember, he got very angry and did not pick up my phone for two days.’

what kind of director is farah

On this Manish said- Farah becomes a different person. She becomes so good that she will do whatever you tell her to do. Farah was also seen laughing after listening to Manish.

Veteran actress Rekha has given many hit films to Hindi cinema in her years of career. But now he has been away from acting for 11 years. In such a situation, his fans are eagerly waiting to see him on the big screen. Now it seems that their wait is going to end soon. There are reports that the actress is going to make a comeback in films. This hint has been given by famous Bollywood designer and Rekha’s close friend Manish Malhotra.

,cheeky love, Rekha’s cameo was in,

Actually, while talking to News 18 Shosha, Bollywood’s famous designer Manish Malhotra has revealed that he had thought of casting Rekha in a cameo role in Vijay Verma and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s ‘Gustakh Ishq’. But then we felt that the role was too small. We cannot call them for this. She deserves a bigger role.

The actress will be seen in Manish Malhotra’s film

Manish Malhotra further said that even though Rekha is not a part of ‘Gustakh Ishq’, he will soon cast her in his next film. When the right script comes, she will definitely play some role in it. It should be a character that challenges them. She has already done a lot. He has a lot of work. So they shouldn’t feel like ‘What have you given me? Do you know me…’

In which film was Rekha last seen?,

Let us tell you that Rekha made her Bollywood debut in the year 1970 with ‘Sawan Bhado’. Gradually she became a superstar of the industry. The actress was last seen in the 2014 film ‘Super Nani’. Then in 2018, she was seen doing a cameo in ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se’. In her long career, the actress has worked in more than 200 films.
