Haseen Dilruba

The film Haseen Dilruba released in netflix begins with a crime through the testimony of the prime suspect. The police suspects the wife of the alleged victim behind the murder. Then the wife narrates the story of her dramatic marriage to the police.

The main characters are played by Tapsee Pannu as Rani Kashyap, who is accused for the murder. Vikrant Massey plays the role of Rishabh Saxena, the alleged victim of the crime. Harshvardhan Rane plays the role of the cousin of Rishabh and Aditya Shrivastava is inspector Kishore Ranawat who is given the task of cracking the case.

In the first half, it was mildly entertaining when Rishu aka Rishabh came to visit her house for the first time for the purpose of marriage. There Rani doesn't sit with his family or was not shown bringing the tea and snacks as shown in the other bolywood films

Though in the police station it might have seen that Rani have been exaggerating Rishabh's behaviour in her narration to the police but still the film remains firm in giving the message "If love doesn't push you to the brink of insanity it is not true love.

Rani plays the role of a modern women who have her own wishes and desires. She loves to read books of Dinesh Pandit who write crime thriller stories and plans the murder in the same way as written in the book.

Vikrant Massey has totally justified the role of Rishabh. He behaves like a common man, in the beginning he seemed to be innocent who love his wife but later he seemed to be furious in anger. He has shown his versatility in the character.

Although even after the big reveal in the end, it kept it's suspense, is illogical hugely improbable, unscientific and ridden with loopholes.

The provoking aspect of Haseen Dilruba's screenplay is it's portrayal of the extra marital affair in a small conservative town like"Jwalapur."
