OTT Release Details
JioHotstar confirmed the digital debut by unveiling a promotional video on its official Instagram page. The clip highlights the film’s emotional core, set against the atmospheric lanes of Purani Dilli, capturing a sense of nostalgia and quiet yearning.

From January 27, the film will be available for streaming exclusively on JioHotstar.
Story, Cast and Creative Approach
Directed by Vibhu Puri, Gustaakh Ishq presents love in its most unguarded form. Set in 1998, the story unfolds across locations such as Purani Delhi and Malerkotla, giving the film a strong cultural and period flavour.
The narrative follows Pappan, a man grappling with confusion and a lack of purpose, who turns to art in an attempt to find meaning in his life. His world shifts when he encounters a reclusive poet and the poet’s independent, resilient daughter. These relationships gradually transform Pappan’s emotional landscape, setting him on a path of self-discovery and emotional awakening.
With its poetic tone, period setting and introspective storytelling, Gustaakh Ishq aims to strike a chord with audiences seeking a quieter, more reflective take on romance as it begins its OTT journey.
