Haseen Dillruba Movie Rating: 2 stars
Just watched Haseen Dillruba movie on Netflix. So let’s analyze the cast, release date, story, positive/negatives and at last my personal view on this movie.
Cast: Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, Harshvardhan Rane and Aditya Srivastava
Director: Vinil Mathew
Release Date: 2nd July 2021 (On Netflix)
Story: Story opens in Jwalapur where Rishabh Saxena aka Rishu (Vikrant Massey) resides along with his mother Lata (Yamini Das) and father Brijraj (Daya Shankar Pandey). He is a small-town guy who has the habit of falling in love with every prospective bride. He’s an electrical engineer with a government job and his only hobby is repairing electronic items of his neighbors.
He is looking for a girl for marriage and his search leads him to Delhi where family meet Rani Kashyap (Taapsee Pannu). Rishu falls for Rani instantly and agree for marriage. Lata realizes that Rani is not the simple and homely girl that she’s looking for. But Rishu is adamant and they got marriage. After marriage Lata starts chiding Rani for lying that she can cook.
One day Rishu overhears Rani speaking to her mother (Alka Kaushal) and her masi (Puja Sarup) that Rishu is not good in bed. Rishu is hurt and retreats into a shell. Rani gets lonely. One day, Rishu’s cousin Neel Tripathi (Harshvardhan Rane) comes to stay with the Saxena’s. Neel is dashing and well-built and Rani gets charmed by her. Neel realizes that Rani is attracted to her and both begin a fling.
Rani falls in love with Neel to the extent that she begins to learn cooking so that she can feed him his favourite dishes. One day, Neel expresses the desire to have mutton. Rani, who’s a vegetarian, agrees and goes out to buy meat. The same day, she tells Neel that she’d like to end the marriage and move in with him. A commitment-phobic Neel panics and runs away. Rani is hurt and she blurts the truth to Rishu. Rishu wanted to have a fresh start but this confession hurts him even more.
A few months later an explosion takes place in the Saxena residence, killing Rishu. The investigating officer, Kishore Rawat (Aditya Srivastava) is sure that Rani has killed Rishu. What happen next is all about this film.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the Hindi trailer of this film it looks interesting and planned to watch this film in my free time.
A young woman obsessed with crime thriller novels is accused of plotting her husband’s gruesome murder. But as the investigation delves into her rocky married life and a torrid affair, what seemed like an open and shut case, turns into a complex whodunit.
The story works only in parts. The characters are interesting and coupled with the setting, the story had the potential to be a great murder mystery. But things go haywire in the second half. screenplay is not consistent. It begins on a thrilling note and instantly sets the mood. There are some hilarious scenes as well. In other words, the first 45 minutes to 60 minutes doesn’t give viewers any reason to complain. Later, however the film slows down and even becomes unconvincing.
Overall film is embellished with some fine performances but the unconvincing narrative in the second half and the disappointing climax spoils the show. My view on this movie (Not Recommended) but still you can watch only if you are fan of lead actors.
