Hand it to these guys you’ll get the pun in that statement once you’ve watched the outrageous end but this is one wild Bollywood thriller. The film is fun to watch for the way it leads you on before turning the plot on its head, and it’s smart in the way it invests 135 minutes of storytelling to mix suspense and wry humour.
Kanika Dhillon’s writing is as much the ‘hero’ of “Haseen Dillruba” as Taapsee Pannu, who breathes life into the titular protagonist with trademark relish, or Vikrant Massey just give the guy a meaty role and watch him go. That’s not to say there are no rough edges in the script, you’ll spot plenty of loopholes here. But despite glitches, “Haseen Dillruba” regales sufficiently and there few dull moments. Importantly, the film underlines the changing whiffs of storytelling in mainstream Hindi cinema.
Grey characters, realism appreciated in films now: Vikrant Massey
Everyone has grey areas and cinema today is a reflection of that with filmmakers choosing realism in their stories, says actor Vikrant Massey, who is confident that audiences will love Haseen Dilruba , a romantic-thriller set in a small town. The film, which released on Netflix on Friday, features Massey as Rishu, an introvert engineer who falls for a feisty woman but their marriage runs into trouble with the entry of another man.
Directed by Hasee Toh Phasee fame Vinil Mathew, the film also stars Taapsee Pannu and Harshvardhan Rane in lead roles.

What would you expect in a 136 minute film if in less than 5 minutes into the opening scenes, you see a blast ripping off a man to smithereens in a house? Your mind would be all the more intrigued if you got to know that the man lying with a tattooed severed hand is none other than the male lead? And, as if this wasn’t enough, his wife is on trial for his murder! For most of us this lurid tale of passion, love and revenge sets the tone for a rollercoaster ride when the wife of the dead is accused of the murder. But wait! While your expectations may veer in many directions, the opening credits highlighting Kanika Dhillon’s name as the creative mind behind the ‘Story, Screenplay & Dialogues’ of the film raises your hopes for something more than the ordinary for sure.
