Haseen Dillruba has a good plot with a number of thrilling twists, the story is engaging.
The music is average and is presented by Amit Trivedi. The film is starring Taapsee Pannu & Vikrant Massey in lead roles and is available on Netflix.
The film starts with a gas cylinder blast killing Rishu (Vikrant Massey) and unfortunately making his wife Rani (Taapsee Pannu) a prime suspect in the case. Rishu is a simple man from Jwalapur and is the stereotypical electrical engineer found in the jokes of stand-up comedians who hasn’t indulged in any sex in his college and could marry the first girl he sees. Rani (Taapsee Pannu) has faced a broken relationships in the past but then decides to settle down with Rishu in an arranged marriage.
Rani is a huge fan of mystery-erotica comic writer Dinesh Pandit, she tries out a number of ways to make her innocent, pill-popping Rishu come close to her. They are very different from one another and has contrasting personalities that restricts them from coming closer and enters Neel (Harshvardhan Rane). Rishu’s cousin Neel is desirable and seems like the fit from Rani’s lusty fantasies. He connects with Rani and gets involved with her while she falls in love with him.
Rani confesses and her life turns upside down with her involvement with Neel. Who might have killed Nishu? Well, you have to watch this film or read a novel by a ‘fictional’ writer Dinesh Pandit to know what actually happens next.
Haseen Dillruba by Kanika Dhillon takes inspiration from two from Satyajit Ray’s Charulata when she takes a bored ‘ardent reader’ wife falling for a cousin of her good-yet-uninterested husband. After writing movies like Manmarziyaan, Judgementall Hai Kya, Dhillon has presented Haseen Dillruba. With mystery developing, she keeps the audience involved with the plot.
Haseen Dillruba starring Taapsee Pannu is a great film opposite Vikrant Massey, the duo have given engaging performance. Harshvardhan Rane gets to show off his toned body and is the one who causes the rift between the two. Yamini Das is exceptional in her role as the loving desi mother of Vikrant’s Rishu. Actors such as Daya Shankar Pandey, Ashish Verma are good in their part.
Haseen Dillruba shares Kanika Dhillon’s nail biting story with cutting edge performance.
Haseen Dillruba releases on 02 July, 2021.
