  • Movie review: Is trending on Netflix, Haseen Dillruba one to watch?

    Movie review: Is trending on Netflix, Haseen Dillruba one to watch?

    Trending at number one since it released on Pakistani Netflix, Haseen Dilruba is India’s latest, winning movie on the streaming platform. An easy watch for a suspense thriller, the story revolves around the murder of a husband after his wife has an affair.

    It’s a perfect set up and it begins at full speed. Shy and sweet, seedha saadha sa Rishu (Vikrant Massey) has an arranged marriage with the hot, loud and opinionated Rani (Taapsee Pannu) and beychara Rishu is so intimidated by Rani that he is unable to perform in the first month of their marriage. He overhears Rani telling her family members about their private sex life and decides to never speak/touch her again. Meanwhile, Rishu’s super hot and dashing cousin Neel (Harshvardhan Rane) comes to stay with them and thats when the trouble begins.

    The beauty of the film is how fast paced it is, even though it is more than two hours long. The story begins with a bang, slows down but not too slow in the middle, and then ends with a not to unexpected ending.

    The downside of the film is really the acting. It’s very evident that the writer has written a strong and thoughtful script but the acting is flat and the chemistry between all the characters is blah at best. Rani is the weakest link with the biggest role. Despite being the hero (and somewhat the villain) of the story, Taapsee’s acting leaves you yawning in the middle and asking, ‘is that the best she can do’ near the end. The only character that comes close to his role is Vikrant as Rishu.

    Despite the slow drawl in the middle, the storyline is solid and the movie is definitely worth a watch. But in the end you will wonder if star actors had taken on the role, what an actual big blockbuster it could be.

She was once proud to be called the Kangana for poor producers and today, she calls me irrelevant. Haha, people and their strange nature) anyway all the best with your film girl @tapaseepannu try promoting it without my name”.

    In another post, The Queen actress further added: “I don’t mind B grade actors using my name or style or interviews or general career strategies to promote themselves or their careers. Of course, they will use my name growing up in the industry I was also inspired by those who made it before me but I never disrespected them always showed immense respect for those who inspired me like Vaijantimala ji, Waheeda Ji and Sridevi Ji. Magar doosre ke sar pe paon rakh kar upar chadhne ki koshish karne wale ko uski aukaat dikhana zaruri hai. Good Morning to all.”

    Bollywood celebs laud Pakistan for arresting Nankana incident suspect, ask India to follow suit

    Following the attack by masked assailants wielding batons and iron rods at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University, leaving more than two dozen injured, India is in a state of conflict yet again. Controversy over Sunday’s violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) comes as a new challenge to the government as it confronts major nationwide protests against a new citizenship bill that critics say is anti-Muslim.

    Students blamed the university attack on right-wing activists and also accused the police of doing nothing to stop the violence.

    According to AFP, at least 28 students and teachers were injured in this attack, while doctors and nurses from a nearby hospital who went to treat them were also attacked.

    The violence prompted several Bollywood actors to speak up on the matter while others including Vishal Bharadwaj, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dia Mirza, Rahul Bose, Richa Chadha and Taapsee Pannu led hundreds of people in a peaceful protest against the attack.

    Taapsee Pannu, known for her roles in Pink, Manmarziyaan and Judwaa 2 also called for swift action to be taken against the perpetrators of violence. Sharing the news of Pakistan arresting the prime suspect in the Nankana attack case, Taapsee remarked that India should follow suit and do the same.

    Taapsee’s tweet was liked by Sonam Kapoor.

    Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone in a surprise move arrived at the scenes of the protest and extended her support to the students.
