Haseen Dillruba

The movie has romance, affair, gray characters, and murder. In an ideal scenario, that makes a delicious combination for a masterpiece! Alas, what starts as a good romantic thriller - dealing with an arranged marriage - soon turns into a hot mess. Writer fails to handle so many plot elements and falls badly when the Big Reveal comes.

Story was quite simple and a perfect viewer can know the murderer with the movie progresses. Positive thing was they didn't try a lot which would have turned the movie into a mess. Amazing dialogue content. And last but not least exceptional acting by all three actors.

This murder mystery drama revolving around the 3 persons has its own moments of 'suspend from reality' and being realistic. The screenplay shifts between murder mystery and family drama, and the writing and cuts are brilliant to keep you engaged. I really liked the Vikrant Massey character's ups and downs, it is one of the rare husbands written well in Bollywood. Do watch and you wont be disappointed!!

Movie: Haseen Dillruba All of us were waiting for "Haseen Dilruba" to release. Well, the wait is over. It's available on Netflix now. It's a mystery thriller film starring Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, Harshavardhan Rane and Aditya Srivastava (our very own senior inspector Abhijeet from CID). A 28 year old Delhi girl married a simple loving small town guy but she's highly dissatisfied with this arranged marriage then she got involved in an extramarital affair with her husband's relative. And the story goes on. The movie starts with a bang and proceeds without straight forward story telling. But it loses its grip after a while. There are many loopholes which make the film more illogical. Sometimes I felt that, I was watching a B grade movie. Taapsee and Harshavardhan's performances are very average. Vikrant Massey is the star here. He puts others in the shade. The storyline could have been far better. It's poorly executed. Character development is pathetic. The film was supposed to be thrilling but it is gonna simply bore you. According to me, "Haseen Dillruba" is not engaging at all. You can easily skip this. Do not waste your valuable time over this film. I have some serious questions: 1) Who the hell wants to continue the marriage where the husband tries to murder his wife several times? 2) How does a person survive for so long after chopping his hand on his own? How's the person able to swim in this condition? 3) Rani's mother and her maternal aunt were always available on the phone for Rani. Where were they when Rani actually needed their mental support?
