Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba

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.
