Haseen Dillruba Movie/Film Story

Set for the most part in the town of Jwalapur, which literally translates to Fire City, Haseen Dillruba tells the story of 28-year-old Rani, who likes reading soft-core Hindi novels, while her family is ready to marry her off to the first man who will have her. “Toh bechari apne sad sexy armaan lekar Rishu se shaadi karke pohonch jaati hai Jwalapur,” only to realize they’re a terrible match.

And novel fantasy toh door, this man and his family might not even be good enough to be boring, hers is suddenly and actively unhappy, miserable life. You can tell Rishu has had little to no interaction with women ever, so the idea of owning a hotwife is literally the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

With a sexist, classist, casteist mother who wants gori, homely, vegetarian bahu, only to complain about her all day long, and a best friend with frosted tips, who says things like “Bhabhi ki na training shuru kar do jaldi se”, Rishu is caught between wanting to get ahead of the slipping power dynamic in his new relationship, and realizing he’s not in any way equipped to be an equal partner, mentally and physically to the woman he’s stupidly married.

Enter hot boy cousin, with the hot boy name Neel, and Rani’s hot bhabhi-devar novel romance comes alive. Iss beech mein murder, police, nosy padosi, everyone.

Look, I’m all for genre subversion, take the rules, twist them unrecognizable. Take the done to death arranged marriage meet-cute, and lead it to horrifying consequences, sister yes I’m here for it.

But for this and other subversions to successfully and effectively occur, the execution needs to be clear and convincing, joh dono cheezein Haseen Dillruba mein, unfortunately, nahi hain.

You don’t know how you feel about Rishu and Rani kind of throughout the film, because their very fundamental basic personalities keep altering faster than Vinil Mathew can establish them.

In the first half, we’re lead to believe Rani is a fearless Delhi girl, who does as she pleases, but hasn’t been able to convince herself, ki marriage really is not the be-all and end-all of her existence, so she does Shaadi. She eventually turns out to be more twisted than she lets on, which is not my complaint.

Similarly, Rishu who seems like a dumb, naïve engineer, does homeopathy as a “hobby”, I mean I possibly couldn’t roll my eyes enough at him, but turns out to be a literal narcissistic psychopath, is also a lovely turn of events.

I love me some Phantom Thread, Reynolds Woodcock energy. What I’m perplexed about, is director Vinil Mathew and writer Kanika Dhillon’s lack of conviction, if the audience will understand these characters. Kya logon ko samajh mein aayega hum kya karne ki aur kehne ki koshish kar rahe hain?

Toh after a simplistic an overtly familiar first half, in the second half, when the strangeness begins to come true, a song with the words “muskuraane ka bahaana” in there somewhere, an emotional speech about how nice guys always finish last, which is why they turn murderous, an exposition-y cop and other helpful crutches, to ensure ki koi detail miss nahi hona chahiye.

I see the story’s point A to B to C, which Kanika Dhillon’s writing was getting at, it’s very clear and could have been interesting, I wish the screenplay and dialogue had trusted us to connect the dots, on our own. For a murder mystery, Haseen Dillruba takes way too many pauses, wanders too much, losing its pace and audience, many-many times.

Harshvardhan Rane as hunky Neel comes in and out of the screenplay sporadically, as Taapsee Pannu as Rani and Vikrant Massey as Rishu endlessly flip-flop back and forth between love and hate, plain and murderous, cinematographer Jaya Krishna Gummadi changing his lighting and styling every time, making the whole thing inconsistent to the point of becoming uninteresting.

Haseen Dillruba Movie/Film Review

Haseen Dillruba is weird, but not clever enough to be weird-good. The weak and underwhelming ending pay-off is visible from the literal first sequence, Aditya Srivastava as the police inspector could have figured it out, if he’d watched enough Bollywood movies. Or read a novel or two.

Haseen Dillruba Movie/Film Rating

So, on a scale of 1 to 5, Haseen Dillruba is 1 giant disappointment.
