Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba relocates from the sleepy town of Jwalapur to the city of Agra while attempting to recapture its predecessor's dark, edgy charm. Written by Kanika Dhillon and directed by Jayprad Desai, the movie has all the ingredients to be a thrilling ride, and with the addition of a formidable new adversary and obsessed lovers, the stakes are significantly raised. A dogged cop, Montu (Jimmy Shergill) is hot on Rani and Rishu's heels, spelling doom for the duo because he is the slain ex-lover Neel's chacha, making the case personal for him.

Despite the initial promise, the execution is lacking, and the script tries to pack too much, resulting in illogical decisions and unconvincing outcomes. The film's focus shifts from the intriguing mystery of the first instalment to a more straightforward chase, diluting the suspenseful elements that made the original compelling. The cat-and-mouse game between Rani, Rishu, and the police becomes predictable, lacking the edge-of-the-seat tension that Vinil Mathew's outing delivered.

While there are moments of intrigue, the narrative often meanders, bogged down by unnecessary subplots (including murders) and convoluted twists. The screenplay's attempts at clever dialogue and literary allusions (the pulpy crime novel background, a highlight of the first film) often feel over the top this time around, detracting from the overall impact. At 132 minutes, the film moves at a decent pace, but the plot points leave many questions unanswered.

Vikrant Massey shines as Rishu, with a commendable character arc from the first film. Taapsee Pannu brings a captivating energy to her role, although her performance in the first instalment was more subtly nuanced. Sunny Kaushal is decent as the meek but intense Abhimanyu. The two actors' on-screen dynamic is compelling. Aditya Srivastav and Jimmy Shergill are underutilized, despite Shergill's impactful scenes. The cinematography is a redeeming factor, capturing the essence of Agra.

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is engaging, if not awe-inspiring, and has some entertaining moments. While it maintains a stylish aesthetic and a talented cast, the film ultimately lacks the originality and suspense required to truly captivate audiences. With some tighter writing and more focused storytelling, this could have been a memorable sequel.

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba attempts to recapture the magic of its predecessor, "Hasseen Dillruba," but falls short in delivering the same level of thrill and intrigue. While the movie does offer its share of some twisted turns, it lacks the gripping intensity that made the first part so memorable.

The love story is even more twisted than before, but unfortunately, the script this time is more predictable. Kanika Dhillon's writing starts strong, drawing viewers in with an engaging beginning, but as the film progresses, the narrative loses its momentum. The second half of the movie, in particular, feels messy and lacks the sharpness needed to sustain interest.

However, the film does shine in the performances of its cast. Taapsee Pannu once again proves her mettle, delivering an impressive performance that anchors the film. Vikrant Massey, too, impresses with his fine portrayal. The addition of Sunny Kaushal is a pleasant surprise, as he delivers a strong performance that stands out. Jimmy Sheirgill, in a supporting role, is as dependable as ever.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 2.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 2/5.

The film stars Vikrant Massey, Taapsee Pannu, Sunny Kaushal, and Jimmy Sheirgill in a romantic thriller that effectively delivers on its promise.

The best part of the film is how it keeps you guessing with its plot twists, making it hard to predict what will happen next. Although the ending was predictable, as most of us could see where it was heading, the twists along the way were well-executed and aligned with the direction and script.

In my opinion, Vikrant Massey's role lacked depth and impact, as Sunny and Taapsee commanded most of the screen time. His performance lacked energy and presence, and he felt more like a third wheel than a central character throughout the film.

Jimmy Sheirgill's performance was also underwhelming, as he didn't fully embody the role of an angry cop seeking revenge for his nephew's death.

Overall, Taapsee and Sunny's acting was impressive, and the script was solid. However, it lacked the depth of dialogue seen in the previous film, *Hasseen Dillruba,* and the first part of the film was slow to build up. However, the second half picked up the pace, delivering a far more engaging experience with its thrills and twists.

At first let me clear, this is not that much impactful sequel as compared to it's previous installment. But I will definitely like to recommend to those people who liked it's first part, they will enjoy it for some extend. The storyline continues and 2 important characters added to the main storyline. Sunny's performance was really great and perhaps the best in this entire show but Jimmy Shergill is less utilized of course. They had potential to use Jimmy Shergill as such a badass character but writing was definitely weak for that character. Retro Songs and Music was perfectly blended in it and the screenplay of course feels quite rich and colorful to watch.

Overall some kissing scenes are present and the subject of the content doesn't make it safe to for go with the family audiences. So 6 out of 10 Stars from my side and I'll consider it as an average one time watch without applying any logics.

Weak story, weak screenplay and worst acting by All 3 characters. This is disaster if I will compare the same with 1st part. Not sure what they all seen in this story line up . The Jimmy Shergill character is totally waste. He is not able to so any justice from his role.

This story could have been better but it seems like the director wanted to finish in hurry hence they just focus on to make this movie in one go and was reliaying on previous part success.

Rani, Rishu and abhimanyu all acted like b grade movie seriously. Who play Snake & ladder in their first night. Who Buy 10bkg Tomatos . Disappointed 😞
