Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba

The primis was set up in the 1st so well. Building on that foundation is easy but still the work is decent.

Seven star till the last 20 minutes or so of the climax , the movie started good I enjoyed it was fun but falls flat in the climax it was very dull unnecessarily stretched blame goes to the writer. If only the script was tight like it started the climax was very dull childish and unbelievable. I don't agree any one saying this is the worst movie on netflix definitely not there are worst movie than this one on netflix. All actors did good job tapsee too was good , like always there are many who hate her we know the reason why and wait for her movie to vent out their frusturation, like I said cant blame the actors the blame goes on script and director.

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.

Rani Kashyap is now living in Agra as a beautician while Rishi is on the run. She has trapped Abhimanyu and Rishi is being tormented by his landlady, Poonam. As Rani and Rishi find it hard to meet as they evade the cops, enters Mrityunjay Paswan. The unsolved murder of Neel has already pricked his uncle Mrityunjay and he has vowed to catch Rishi and Rani. As the case gets all too personal, once again Dinesh Pandit's work comes to the aid of the couple but this time, there is Abhimanyu too. Will the couple continue to evade the cops or get caught, forms rest of the story.

There were several good ideas sprinkled all over and I cannot deny that. The problem is those stuff doesn't come together to shape this attempt into a good film. I had issues with the previous film as well and definitely did not keep any expectations from the sequel, even then the uneven writing that keeps on getting way too ambitious, ends up as a tedious watch. Sunny Kaushal's Abhimanyu is half baked and though his backstory is revealed eventually, there is barely any chemistry between him and Tapsee's Rani to make this work. Neither there is an attempt to showcase how Rani traps Abhimanyu. He just loves her as much as Rishi does and that becomes the justification.

A lot of cinematic liberties have been taken and it definitely sounded good on paper. On screen, it all falls flat as the entire investigation is presented to be weak. There is only so much actors can do to dramatically elevate the drama. This is what I meant about the good things sprinkled all over and these individual moments definitely look good. With a better screenplay, probably this one had a chance to be decent instead it leaves the actors with very little help and ends up wasting couple of good ideas which deserved better execution.

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.
