The film
"Servus Ishq" (Ishq in English love) is an eventful and touching love story narrated in the popular mainstream Bollywood style with a zestful mix of love, drama and spirituality in a newly developed genre of Austro-Bollywood movies.
"Servus Ishq" is a story about Maya, an Indian girl with Austrian roots who is on her way to Austria to fulfill her late grandmother's last wish – to bring her ashes to Mariazell, a renown place of pilgrimage in the Austrian Alps, on an auspicious day and put her to rest over there. Before going there she is forced to stay in Vienna for a couple of days. She takes this opportunity to trace places where her grandmother lived in her younger days. Here she meets Jay, a young Indian man living in Austria, who immediately falls for her charm. Jays drives Maya to Tyrol and then to Mariazell. Though engaged in India by her parents Maya gets impressed by Jay's selfless love for her and unknowingly falls in love with him too. An incident almost destroys Maya's last promise to her dear grandmother but is reverted in the last moment due to Jay's heroic act. This brings the ultimate realization about the true love between them, which forces Maya to make a crucial decision in her life.

Sandeep Kumar
Actor/Director/Producer
Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Sandeep Kumar has lived in various countries like USA, Germany and Austria. His passion for theater and acting goes by to his time in India, where he acted on stage together with the Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
In 2009 Sandeep developed the new genre Austro-Bollywood films, a crossover of the Austrian cinema and mainstream Bollywood. This consists of a unique fusion of Indian and Austrian cultural elements, in a colorful, musical and emotional work of art.
Under this genre Sandeep made his first feature film (Kesariya Balam - love without borders) targetting festivals in 2010, which fetched him numerous awards, including the Austrian National Award for noncommercial films in 2011(best film and best direction).
Sandeep Kumar is inspired by filmmakers like Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake) and Gurinder Chadha (Bend it like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice) who have successfully blended various american/british and indian elements in there films.
The indian legend Yash Chopra who made various hit films over a span of 50 years, however, remains to be Sandeep Kumar's ideal. Already back in the 70s and 80s Yash Chopra made the swiss alps famous all over India through the song and dance scenes shot for his films over there.

Khubsurat Sama
Khubsurat Sama, husn bhi hai jawan
Aaj mausam ne bhi le hain angraiya
Khubsurat Sama, husn bhi hai jawan
Aaj mausam ne bhi le hain angraiya
Aa zara pas aa, Oh meri dilruba
Mere dil meh bana pyar ka Aashiyan
Rafta rafta chadha hai nasha pyar ka
Kaisa Jaadu kiya dil tera ho gaya
Mere dildaar sun yeh nasha husn ishq
Ek pal me sanam tu mera ho gaya
Ishq me oh sanam dagmaga na kadam
Aaja bahon me aa na girah bijliyan
Na girah bijliyan
Khubsurat Sama, husn bhi hai jawan
Aaj mausam ne bhi le hain angraiya
Aa zara pas aa, Oh meri dilruba
Mere dil meh bana pyar ka Aashiyan
Sangmarmar badan me lagi hai aagan
Aa bhuja deh sanam pyar ban ke mera
Hum tere tu meri phir bhala kya deri
Aa sama jism me yaar ban ke mera
Tu hi hai humsafar tu hi saajan mera
Ban gayi zindagi apani eek dastaan
Apani eek dastaan
Khubsurat Sama, husn bhi hai jawan
Aaj mausam ne bhi le hain angraiya
Aa zara pas aa, Oh meri dilruba
Mere dil meh bana pyar ka Aashiyan
Akhri Milan
Kaise sambhaloge apne dil ko sanam
Kya Khudha se mangoge kare who rehem
Kaise sambhaloge apne dil ko sanam
Kya Khudha se mangoge kare who rehem
De raha dilon ko gam

Akhri Milan akhri milan
Bebas ho rahi
Jane kya kho rahi
Apne sajan se meh juda ho rahi
Ja ke kudha se puchega mera dil
Bin dhadkan ke dhadke kaise dil
Kaisi kahani likh rahi nayi
Dilon ki zubani pyar ki kasam
De raha dilon ko gam
De raha dilon ko gam
Akhri Milan akhri milan
Dilon ki kahani hamne sunni thi
Tute the kuch dil kuch dil judhe nahi
Pyar me kasam lehge Khuda ke kareeb dil
Honge judda bhi na ho ke judda dil
Likhegi kahani pyar ki nayi
Dilon ki zubani khudha ki kasam
De raha dilon ko gam
De raha dilon ko gam
Akhri Milan akhri milan

Mahi wey tu mere saath hai haathon mein mere tera haath hai
dhadkane badh rahi hain thaamna mushkil hai
Pehli mulaqat hai hum dono ke jazbaat hai
pyar hamari manzil hai yehi khuda ki ijazat
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake

dil ne dawat di hai dil ko dono tanha bhule mehfil ko
hazaaron mein mehboob hai manzar kya yeh khoob hai
dil ka ek shagufa hai chahat bhi to mojaza hai
ishq haqiqat hai duniyan aur duniya ki nazakat
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake
Tere nainon ke jharoke mere naino mein jhaake
ek dooje ko bithake phir palkon se dhale

Teri Hone lagi hun
Mileke tujhse, mere dil ki hasrat puri ho gayi
chayee dilpe madhoshi aur dilkashi ho gayi
patna nahi kab aur kaise
patna nahi kab aur kaise
teri hone lagi hun meh
hone lagi hun
hone lagi hun teri
hone lagi hun.
Mehki bhehati hawa
keh rahi hai fiza
mil rahi hai zami aasma se kahin
mil raha hai Khuda
zindagi meherba
aaye na mere dil ko yakeen
Bavara dil mera
bavari meh huyi
dheere dheere naino ke basme ho gayi
patna nahi kab aur kaise
patna nahi kab aur kaise
khudko kone lagi hun meh
khone lagi hun
khone lagi hun teri
hone lagi hun.
Jhukraha aasma
uthrahi hai zami
de raha hai dua mere dilko sabhi
pyaar mera Kudha
pyaar sabse juda
pyaar hota dilo ki zindagi
kya hua na pata
na khabar dil ko thi
mere dil ki dharkan tere dilki ho gayi
patna nahi kab aur kaise
patna nahi kab aur kaise
khudko kone lagi hun
khone lagi
khone lagi hun teri
hone lagi hun.
Mileke tujhse, mere dil ki hasrat puri ho gayi
chayee dilpe madhoshi aur dilkashi ho gayi
patna nahi kab aur kaise
patna nahi kab aur kaise
teri hone lagi hun
hone lagi hun
hone lagi hun teri
hone lagi hun.
