Story of the film
Unsettling paranormal occurrences occur in the house of an Indian couple who live on a secluded Scottish island. Neha is rescued after being discovered drowning at the beginning of the movie, but she loses her memories.
Romesh, her husband and the island’s heir, tells her that before her injury, they had intended to turn their home into a hotel. Romesh promised Neha that her memory would return in due time as they continued the hotel’s improvements.
Neha keeps having paranormal experiences despite his rejections. She learns secrets as a result of these incidents, such as the unexplained passing of Romesh’s father, played by Rahul Dev. As she struggles with forgetfulness, Neha encounters several new people who provide hints regarding her earlier beliefs that Romesh is connected to the odd events and may have been complicit in the murder of her father-in-law.
As Neha navigates her suspicion of Romesh and her mixed sentiments of love and persistent physiological desire for him, the film chronicles her quest to find the explanation for the unexplainable happenings.

Review
Writing for Rediff.com, Deepa Gahlot gave the movie a 1/5 rating. Noted that, in light of the abundance of better stuff available to thrill the horror fan, Bloody Ishq appears even more amateurish and poorly thought out.
The Indian Express’s Shubhra Gupta wrote that the movie received half stars out of five. wrote that the director who brought us Ghulam and the Raaz series has been on a downhill slide for some time, so the name alone should have been enough caution.
