Hasseen Dillruba - Die Schönheit kehrt zurück

I was thrilled to dive into "Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba", the sequel to the captivating suspense thriller "Haseen Dilruba". Initially, the film's realistic portrayal of life after the traumatic events of the first installment had me hooked. However, as the story unfolded, the narrative took a jarring turn. Rani's decision to marry Abhimanyu felt like a contrived attempt to sidestep the investigation, and from there, the plot spiralled into a convoluted mess.

The filmmakers' attempts to inject twists upon twists came across as forced and unrealistic, culminating in a climax that left me incredulous. It felt like the writers were mocking the audience's intelligence. Overall, the movie was a middling experience, failing to live up to the standards set by its predecessor.

Rani Kashyap is now living in Agra as a beautician while Rishi is on the run. She has trapped Abhimanyu and Rishi is being tormented by his landlady, Poonam. As Rani and Rishi find it hard to meet as they evade the cops, enters Mrityunjay Paswan. The unsolved murder of Neel has already pricked his uncle Mrityunjay and he has vowed to catch Rishi and Rani. As the case gets all too personal, once again Dinesh Pandit's work comes to the aid of the couple but this time, there is Abhimanyu too. Will the couple continue to evade the cops or get caught, forms rest of the story.

There were several good ideas sprinkled all over and I cannot deny that. The problem is those stuff doesn't come together to shape this attempt into a good film. I had issues with the previous film as well and definitely did not keep any expectations from the sequel, even then the uneven writing that keeps on getting way too ambitious, ends up as a tedious watch. Sunny Kaushal's Abhimanyu is half baked and though his backstory is revealed eventually, there is barely any chemistry between him and Tapsee's Rani to make this work. Neither there is an attempt to showcase how Rani traps Abhimanyu. He just loves her as much as Rishi does and that becomes the justification.

A lot of cinematic liberties have been taken and it definitely sounded good on paper. On screen, it all falls flat as the entire investigation is presented to be weak. There is only so much actors can do to dramatically elevate the drama. This is what I meant about the good things sprinkled all over and these individual moments definitely look good. With a better screenplay, probably this one had a chance to be decent instead it leaves the actors with very little help and ends up wasting couple of good ideas which deserved better execution.

At first let me clear, this is not that much impactful sequel as compared to it's previous installment. But I will definitely like to recommend to those people who liked it's first part, they will enjoy it for some extend. The storyline continues and 2 important characters added to the main storyline. Sunny's performance was really great and perhaps the best in this entire show but Jimmy Shergill is less utilized of course. They had potential to use Jimmy Shergill as such a badass character but writing was definitely weak for that character. Retro Songs and Music was perfectly blended in it and the screenplay of course feels quite rich and colorful to watch.

Overall some kissing scenes are present and the subject of the content doesn't make it safe to for go with the family audiences. So 6 out of 10 Stars from my side and I'll consider it as an average one time watch without applying any logics.

The film stars Vikrant Massey, Taapsee Pannu, Sunny Kaushal, and Jimmy Sheirgill in a romantic thriller that effectively delivers on its promise.

The best part of the film is how it keeps you guessing with its plot twists, making it hard to predict what will happen next. Although the ending was predictable, as most of us could see where it was heading, the twists along the way were well-executed and aligned with the direction and script.

In my opinion, Vikrant Massey's role lacked depth and impact, as Sunny and Taapsee commanded most of the screen time. His performance lacked energy and presence, and he felt more like a third wheel than a central character throughout the film.

Jimmy Sheirgill's performance was also underwhelming, as he didn't fully embody the role of an angry cop seeking revenge for his nephew's death.

Overall, Taapsee and Sunny's acting was impressive, and the script was solid. However, it lacked the depth of dialogue seen in the previous film, *Hasseen Dillruba,* and the first part of the film was slow to build up. However, the second half picked up the pace, delivering a far more engaging experience with its thrills and twists.

The primis was set up in the 1st so well. Building on that foundation is easy but still the work is decent.

Seven star till the last 20 minutes or so of the climax , the movie started good I enjoyed it was fun but falls flat in the climax it was very dull unnecessarily stretched blame goes to the writer. If only the script was tight like it started the climax was very dull childish and unbelievable. I don't agree any one saying this is the worst movie on netflix definitely not there are worst movie than this one on netflix. All actors did good job tapsee too was good , like always there are many who hate her we know the reason why and wait for her movie to vent out their frusturation, like I said cant blame the actors the blame goes on script and director.
