Hand it to these guys -- you'll get the pun in that statement once you've watched the outrageous end -- but this is one wild Bollywood thriller. The film is fun to watch for the way it leads you on before turning the plot on its head, and it's smart in the way it invests 135 minutes of storytelling to mix suspense and wry humour.
Kanika Dhillon's writing is as much the 'hero' of "Haseen Dillruba" as Taapsee Pannu, who breathes life into the titular protagonist with trademark relish, or Vikrant Massey -- just give the guy a meaty role and watch him go. That's not to say there are no rough edges in the script, you'll spot plenty of loopholes here. But despite glitches, "Haseen Dillruba" regales sufficiently and there few dull moments. Importantly, the film underlines the changing whiffs of storytelling in mainstream Hindi cinema.
