Haseen Dillruba: Beauté envoûtante

This movie is not made for hardcore thriller lovers because they will predict it's twists clearly by using their simple brain. So for me also it wasn't a perfect crime-mystery-thriller but yeah, of course a unique love-hate story kind of movie.

The Cinematography of this film was brilliant and the shots taken in Uttarakhand was superb for sure. The Screenplay was good and the run time was also tightly gripping. The Background music was beautifully added according to the situations whereas the best part of this movie is 'Lead Characters Performances'. We all have seen Tapsee Pannu in these roles before and Harshvardhan Rane was also decent here but the way Vikrant Massey represented his layered acting is worth commendable. It was all about Vikrant's Acting Ranges which saved this movie otherwise it was totally directionless with lots of illogical here and there. Vikrant summed up everything with his large kind of acting ranges..

The weakest point of the movie is it's CLIMAX. Ahhnnn Man what was that! You just crashed a brilliant narrative with some unrealistic actions. How's that possible ; which is completely illogical.. I can't express it in details because I wanna save the final suspense for the audiences who hadn't went for this movie but Yeah! The weakest point of the movie is CLIMAX because it's damn predictable in the midway.

Overall I will consider it as an One Time Watch content and strictly for those people who are 16+ for sure. And Yeah! It's definitely not for Family Audiences. So 6 out of 10 Stars from my side because I will consider it as an Average Watch..

This is one insane Bollywood thriller - you'll might love the movie after seeing the unexpected finale. The film is enjoyable to see for its clever use of 135 minutes to blend suspense with sarcastic humour.

There are actually three winners in the movie. Apart from Taapsee Pannu's powerful performance and Vikrant Massey's brilliance, there is Kanika Dhillon's writing which is very brilliant.

Yes, there are flaws in the script and the story but despite its flaws, "Haseen Dillruba" is a pleasant watch.

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.

A wife, girlfriend or a murderer ? Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane starrer Haseen Dillruba explores the who-done-it-murder which is a slow burn thriller with a solid climax.

Rani (Taapsee Pannu) is hitched to Rishu (Vikrant Massey) in a compromised arranged marriage (Rani wanted an adventurous and hot guy while Rishu wanted a simple and homely girl). Due to different nature and thinking, things do not go down well between Rani and Rishu and soon their marriage turns rocky. Enter the cool and handsome Neel (Harshvardhan Rane), cousin of Rishu bhaiya, who arranges the seasonal rafting session for the tourist in the beautiful city of Jwalapur (close to Rishikesh in Uttarakand). Neel uses his charm on Rani and she being unsatisfied physically and mentally from her husband, falls for him. Rani wanted to confess everything to Rishu about her affair with Neel but Neel ditches her mid-way and runs away.

Now, Rani is feeling guilty about what she did to Rishu, wants to rectify her mistakes to which Rishu forgives her and both eventually start living peacefully. However, one fine day as Rani steps out of her house, a blast occurs which kills Rishu on the spot. As the police investigation begins, all the eyes turns on the prime suspect Rani and her lover, Neel, behind the murder. Has Rani actually killed her husband with the support from Neel or is she a victim of an extra-marital affair gone wrong ?

From the director of likable, Hasee Toh Phasee, Vinil Mathew is back with a murder mystery, Haseen Dillruba, which is backed up by Aanand L Rai under his banner Color Yellow Productions. Haseen Dillruba was supposed to hit the theaters on 18th September last year but was pushed to 2021 eventually hitting the OTT platform.

While the trailer of Haseen Dillruba was edgy setting up a mammoth expectation, the movie starts on a slow note. In fact, the first few minutes is about boy meeting girl followed by a typical song and drama which could have been cut short and come straight to the point. However, it is the second half when the murder mystery gathers steam especially towards the end with a good twist and satisfactory ending. If Haseen Dillruba could have been trimmed by few minutes and unnecessary songs, the impact could have been more considering the plot was pretty strong. Editing could have been sharp while the music by Amit Trivedi was just about okay.

Despite the hiccups, there are silver linings in Haseen Dillruba which makes it a good watch - Kanika Dhillon's (behind Manmarziyaan and Judgementall Hai Kya) novel based story, Jayakrishna Gummadi's eye-catching cinematography and background score which sets the mood of the film.

Haseen Dillruba is uplifted thanks to the shinning performances by the star cast. Vikrant Massey's acting is applauding. From being a soft-spoken shy guy to an angry-infused husband, Vikrant's transformation is exceptional. Taapsee Pannu is outstanding who puts in effort and clearly shines as Rani. Aditya Srivastava as the investigating officer is brilliant. I wish the makers could have included more scenes for the exemplary actor. Harshvardhan Rane does fine in a small role. Yamini Das as Rishu's mother brings some humor to the dark murder mystery.

Overall, Haseen Dillruba may not be a perfect who-done-it murder mystery thriller but still has enough juice to keep you entertained. Good 3/5

First half loosely based on French author Gustave Flaubert's Madam Bovary. Same story first half the female protagonist wants a lot of mental stimulation from her marriage but when she doesn't get it goes for extra marital affairs and is ready to leave her husband behind for her lover but the lover leaves her behind and runs away. From the novel we get in psychology the term Bovarysme. It's an interesting mix of few stories.
