Hell no, in reality, it does not even come shut regardless of spirited performances from the lead and supporting solid.
So, are you enthusiastic about what to look at this weekend or what to look at this week and questioning whether or not Haseen Dillruba is value your time? Scroll down for my full Haseen Dillruba overview…
What’s it about
Rani Kashyap (Taapsee Pannu) and Rishu (Vikrant Massey) enter an organized marriage, however no earlier than they tie the knot, that they realise that they are merely not suitable and all hope of a budding romance shortly snuffed out. Enter Neel (Harshvardhan Rane), Rishu’s cousin, who’s dashing, good-looking, charming and the whole lot else that Rani’s been in search of in her dream man. However when Rishu is pronounced lifeless, all suspicion results in Rani and her absconding lover, Neel. Did they or did they not homicide him is the query that kinds the crux of Haseen Dillruba’s plot.

What’s sizzling
The glue that hardly manages to bind Haseen Dillruba collectively is the performances. Not solely Taapsee Panuu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane, whom we anticipate to be proper on the moneh, however even the supporting gamers like Aditya Srivastava, Daya Shankar Pandey, Ashish Verma and Yamini Das all exhibit nice understanding of their characters and carry out their roles with finely nuanced dexterity. Take away their acts, and the flicks would crumble very quickly. Amit Trivedi’s songs and background rating, Jaya Krishna Gummadi’s camerawork and Shweta Venkat Mathew’s enhancing (regardless of a plodding screenplay and lackluster course) are the opposite plus factors of the film.
What’s not
The 2 greatest points with Haseen Dillruba are its gargantuan plot holes and its regressive intent. Particularly, throughout the climax and large revelation of the whodunit, the utter disregard for fundamental medical-science data makes it simpler to search for believable physics in a Salman Khan or Rohit Shetty film. The truth that this is not a masala film make the loopholes all of the extra distinguished, however even I used to be to disregard them, it is the regressive nature of the Vinil Mathew’s film, the place Rani’s cry for forgiveness (regardless of doing nothing unsuitable) in entrance of Rishu’s large male ego and blatant goal to trigger her bodily hurt (an enormous step again for Taapsee Pannu from Thappad and Saand Ki Aankh), that is unimaginable to miss. And the place did Rani’s household disappear when she was dealing with all these insurmountable odds, or is it a case of we have married off the lady, now she’s now not our downside? Mainly, this one takes ladies empowerment, crumbles in right into a ball of paper and flushes it down the bathroom – masala films lately are much more progressive.
BL Verdict
Taapsee Pannu has set a regular for sturdy, empowered characters in her films, be there might in female-oriented movies or in any other case. Mixed with the plot holes the dimensions of craters on the moon (her largely astute script sense additionally appears to have deserted her this time), which achieve making medical science a joke of the best order, and the regressive intent of the film in showcasing ladies within the face inflated male egos; Hassen Dillruba wants an almost herculean act from Taapse, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane to maintain it afloat, and credit score to them for nearly managing it. I am going with 2 out of 5 stars purely for the trio.
