The much-awaited “Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba” is a sequel to the 2021 blockbuster “Haseen Dillruba,” which captured viewers’ attention with its dark, twisty plot and standout performances influenced by magazines like Satya Katha and Manohar Kahaniya. This time, the film is directed by Jayprad Desai, who breathes new life into the tale with a love narrative, a murder mystery, and treachery. The movie, which stars Taapsee Pannu, Sunny Kaushal, and Vikrant Massey, aims to recreate the magic of the original while exploring fresh dynamics and locations. But alot of things went wrong this time.
Plot Synopsis
Following the chaotic events of the previous movie, the sequel picks up with Rani Kashyap (Taapsee Pannu) and Rishu Saxena (Vikrant Massey) hiding in Agra and attempting to avoid the police. Their carefully crafted plans start to fall apart as an unknown threat throws their lives into disarray once more. They are accompanied on this perilous journey by Abhimanyu (Sunny Kaushal), whose passion for Rani makes things much more difficult. The movie sets up a close-quarters chase that will have viewers on the edge of their seats, with a determined police officer named Montu (Jimmy Shergill) pursuing them closely.
What didn’t work in the movie ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’
Though the beginning looked promising, the script lacks execution and tries to cover too much, leading to irrational choices and unsatisfactory conclusions. The tension-building qualities that made the first movie so appealing are diminished in this picture as it switches its attention from the intriguing mystery to a more simple pursuit. The chase between Rani, Rishu, and the police loses its suspense and lacks the nail-biting tension that Vinil Mathew’s expedition offered.
Although there are intriguing times, the story frequently meanders and becomes bogged down with pointless subplots involving murders and intricate twists. The pulpy crime fiction backdrop, which was a feature of the first movie, and the screenplay’s attempts at smart dialogue and literary allusions frequently appear excessive this time around, lessening the overall impact. The 2 hours 12 minute movie goes by quite quickly, yet many doubts remain about the premise. With remarkable character growth from the first movie, Vikrant Massey excels as Rishu. Though his portrayal in the earlier installment was more quietly nuanced, Taapsee Pannu has a compelling energy in her character. As the quiet yet passionate Abhimanyu, Sunny Kaushal does an Ok job. Jimmy Shergill has some powerful passages, but Aditya Srivastav and Shergill are untapped.
The film simply continues with Rani’s abrupt proposal to Abhimanyu, which looks bizarre; it fails as a scene. Soon, Rani will be in a different kind of loveless marriage—this time with a dupe. There was the strange joy of timid Rishu going evil in Haseen Dillruba. However, Abhimanyu works otherwise. Despite a number of progressively bizarre turns, the main reason the movie feels predictable is because of Abhimanyu.
In the end,
Although not particularly impressive, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is captivating and contains several amusing moments. The movie lacks the uniqueness and suspense necessary to really hold viewers’ attention, even with its chic look and impressive ensemble. This may have made for an interesting follow-up with some better writing and storyline.
The film basically goes through with Rani’s abrupt proposal to Abhimanyu, which looks absurd; it doesn’t function as an order. Eventually, Rani will be married in a loveless union again, but this time it will be different. There was the sinister joy of timid Rishu turning evil in Haseen Dillruba. However, Abhimanyu works in a different manner. Though Kaushal speaks with a beautiful voice, he can’t provide anything that Massey can’t. He never feels like he has a chance with Rani, and that’s a problem. Despite a number of progressively weird turns, the main reason the movie feels predictable is because of Abhimanyu.
