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.

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba attempts to recapture the magic of its predecessor, "Hasseen Dillruba," but falls short in delivering the same level of thrill and intrigue. While the movie does offer its share of some twisted turns, it lacks the gripping intensity that made the first part so memorable.

The love story is even more twisted than before, but unfortunately, the script this time is more predictable. Kanika Dhillon's writing starts strong, drawing viewers in with an engaging beginning, but as the film progresses, the narrative loses its momentum. The second half of the movie, in particular, feels messy and lacks the sharpness needed to sustain interest.

However, the film does shine in the performances of its cast. Taapsee Pannu once again proves her mettle, delivering an impressive performance that anchors the film. Vikrant Massey, too, impresses with his fine portrayal. The addition of Sunny Kaushal is a pleasant surprise, as he delivers a strong performance that stands out. Jimmy Sheirgill, in a supporting role, is as dependable as ever.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 2.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 2/5.

Weak story, weak screenplay and worst acting by All 3 characters. This is disaster if I will compare the same with 1st part. Not sure what they all seen in this story line up . The Jimmy Shergill character is totally waste. He is not able to so any justice from his role.

This story could have been better but it seems like the director wanted to finish in hurry hence they just focus on to make this movie in one go and was reliaying on previous part success.

Rani, Rishu and abhimanyu all acted like b grade movie seriously. Who play Snake & ladder in their first night. Who Buy 10bkg Tomatos . Disappointed 😞
