<p>Filmmaker Vinil Mathews' latest 'Haseen Dillruba' begins on an intriguing note. A quiet bylane of Jwalapur in Haridwar is rocked by a blast one morning. Initial investigations seem to suggest that Rishabh aka Rishu has died at his home due to a cylinder blast. The cops suspect foul play and question Rishu's wife Rani - the only person who was around when the incident took place. They're also suspicious of Neel, a distant cousin of Rishu and Rani's clandestine lover.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by Kanika Dhillon, 'Haseen Dillruba' attempts to be an unconventional love story. Based on the theme of popular Hindi pulp fictions novels, the story uses the tropes of small towns in northern India to weave an intricate story of love, crime and passion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A big-city girl 'settles' for a small town engineer who is head over heels in love with her. She thinks he is an average joe, even though he has a stable job in the state electricity board and dotes on her from the first day. He feels lucky and slightly nervous around his gorgeous wife. But the initial attraction wears off in almost a week for him and while she keeps trying to seduce him, he is unable to reciprocate in any way. Enter a new relative, an alpha man, who somehow convinces the rebel woman to enter the kitchen and woo him with good food- a quality that she lacks. There is sexual tension between the two and a torrid affair is inevitable. But will the husband know? Will she leave him for her lover? All these questions persist when the blast puts the wife in a spot- making her the prime suspect in the case.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the film's first half is quirky and well-written, the second half, when the mystery slowly starts to unravel, appears rather stretched. The portions when Pannu's character revisits the past and how her and Rishu's story began- are well-enacted and even entertaining especially due to actress Yamini Das, who plays a shocked mother-in-law to a rather brazen daughter-in-law. Das is well-cast and in a limited part lights up the screen with her performance. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Much like her previous films 'Kedarnath' and 'Mannmarziyaan', Dhillon makes the female character the most complicated one in 'Haseen Dillruba'. Rani is aware of her good looks, and the power she has on men. By her admission, she is 'homely' and domesticated, even though she is least interested in doing any household chores. A conflicted character, Rani is similar to Dhillon's Rumi from 'Mannmarziyaan'- both played by Taapsee Pannu who has by now perfected the art of playing such characters on screen. They are dishevelled at the slightest of the crisis, they think they have everything in control and crave male attention. Rani is flawed, rude and someone you will not want in your life and yet Rishu falls head over heels in love.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the men, Rishu (Vikrant Massey) - much like Rani - is a complicated character. He looks like a naive young man who easily falls hard in love but he has his own quirks which are borderline toxic.</p>

<p>Perhaps the most linear character is that of Neel (Harshwardhan Rane) even though he is projected as a mysterious sexy lover who knows how to woo a bored housewife. Both Massey and Rane are good in their respective parts even though they play secondary characters to Pannu, they hold their own. Massey especially is well-cast as the small-town do-gooder Rishu who doesn't know how to be around a gorgeous, upfront woman like Rani.</p>

<p>What starts off as an interesting - even though slightly predictable - love story set in a small town, soon turns dark. As Rani sits at the police station narrating her story to Inspector Rawat, she often borrows lines from her favourite author Dinesh Gupta's pulp fiction novels and describes her definition of love, which she feels is incomplete without a bit of sacrifice. But the references to books that both Rani and Rishu love are also sketchy- only borrowing heavily during the climax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A tale of crime and passion should ideally be high on suspense. It should keep the viewer hooked till the end but 'Haseena Dillruba' falters at every step as the story slowly unravels. There is a lack of chemistry between the leads and it takes time to accept their story of passion and love. The suspense never builds up. The character development of Rani and Rishu is slightly illogical. And in the name of passion and true love, a lot of toxicity is belted out where the woman seems to be okay at being tortured by her husband just because she has cheated on him.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The climax is underwhelming and you end up rolling your eyes a bit too much towards the end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Haseen Dillruba' excites the viewer only in parts and those are not related to the murder mystery that it sets out to be.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Haseen Dillruba' is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

Vikrant Massey, Kriti Kharbanda's '14 Phere' to release on this date

<p>Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane feature in Vinil Mathew's 'Haseen Dillruba' - a story of love, lust and murder.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer of the film was unveiled on Friday and shows Taapsee Pannu playing a woman who desires to live her life like a character of a novel. She soon finds herself embroiled in a murder case and is accused of killing her husband (Vikrant Massey). The trailer suggests Harshvardhan Rane plays Taapsee's lover in the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The story and screenplay has been written by Kanika Dhillon who has worked with Taapsee earlier in 'Manmarziyaan'. The trailer suggests the film is based in a small town and has its share of quirk, passion and mystery in the story.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taapsee said she had a strong gut feeling about the story from the time she first heard it. "I wasn’t the first choice for the film and it came to me after all their options were exhausted. And the good old saying that, if it’s meant for you it will come to you stands true for this case. It’s not just a beautifully written mystery, it has such wonderful characters involved which is candy in an actor’s hands. I am glad I got to experiment with my look and performance with this one because I am definitely not the go to person for this kind of character conventionally and we all love to take risks here," said the actress in a statement.&nbsp;<br />

Taapsee Pannu, Vikrany Massey starrer 'Haseen Dillruba' all set to release on OTT

After two years, I’m home for longer than a week. I’ll cook pavbhaji, I have bought all its ingredients, and maybe kheer as well. But probably, my mother and Sheetal will end up doing all the cooking.”</p>

<p>On the lockdown, Vikrant said, “I am not constantly checking the clock to see how much time I have left. I’m reading scripts and books at leisure, writing in my journal and doing the household chores.”</p>

<p>Vikrant was seen in the Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Chhapaak’ and made a lasting impression in the film. He will next be working on Taapsee Pannu’s ‘Haseen Dilruba’ in Haridwar.

This is how Vikrant Massey plans on spending his 33rd birthday today

<p>Deepika Padukone turned producer with her last film 'Chhapaak' - a story based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal's life. Deepika <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/deepika-padukone-joins-tiktok-promotes-chhapaak-on-platform-272152">left no stone unturned in promoting her maiden production</a> along with the film's leading man Vikrant Massey and director Meghna Gulzar.<br />
<br />
Two days before the film's release, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/deepika-padukone-joins-students-at-jnu-during-protest-272794">Deepika also made a visit to JNU campus</a> in New Delhi to show her solidarity to protesting students there. Her move divided the nation- while a lot of people hailed her for taking a stand- there were others who criticised her move and called it a publicity stunt.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Her visit to JNU affected the collection of 'Chhapaak' and it was poorly voted on movie aggregator site IMDb.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/chhapaak-review-deepika-padukones-film-is-gut-wrenching-but-important-273132">Read WION's review of 'Chhapaak' here.</a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Now, a clip of Deepika and Meghna Gulzar has surfaced on social media where the actress can be seen reacting to the low ratings of the film.

Deepika Padukone turned producer with her last film 'Chhapaak' - a story based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal's life. Deepika left no stone unturned in promoting her maiden production along with the film's leading man Vikrant Massey and director Meghna Gulzar. Two days before the film's release, Deepika also made a visit to JNU campus in New Delhi to show her solidarity to protesting students there. Her move divided the nation- while a lot of people hailed her for taking a stand- there were others who criticised her move and called it a publicity stunt. Her visit to JNU affected the collection of 'Chhapaak' and it was poorly voted on movie aggregator site IMDb.Read WION's review of 'Chhapaak' here. Now, a clip of Deepika and Meghna Gulzar has surfaced on social media where the actress can be seen reacting to the low ratings of the film. When she asked to comment on it, Deepika had a cheeky answer.

<p>There is no denying that the year 2017 will down in history as the year where newer stories and smaller films took precedence over big-budget formula films. Filmmakers became brave in storytelling in 2017. From illicit romances to erectile dysfunction to falling in love at 40 to a middle-class housewife finding her voice in the most unexpected manner- filmmakers tried to tell newer stories this year. And while a lot of these films got appreciated by critics and masses alike- here is a list of films that did not get its due credit. Presenting the most underrated films of 2017.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Haraamkhor:</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bt7r3RaLbrY" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>A story of a student falling in love with her teacher would make a lot of people uncomfortable. But filmmaker Shlok Sharma dealt with the story in the most subtle, nuanced manner. Coupled with strong performances by its lead- Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Triptha-<em>Haraamkhor</em> was a different take on love. Sharma could have gone overboard showing a romance that most deem as scandalous but he broached the topic in a sensitive, mature manner making the film a compelling watch.<br />
<br />
<strong>Anaarkali Of&nbsp;</strong><strong>Aarah</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jHFT_PdLh20" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>If<em> Anaarkali of </em><em>Aarah</em> had released a year back, Aniruddha Roy Choudhary&#39;s <em>Pink </em>would have appeared flawed. Journalist turned filmmaker Avinash Das&#39; film spoke about consent, but in a society where the term is almost alien. Centered around Anaarkali whose profession is to sing songs full of sexual innuendoes, the film highlighted the plight of many such women who may sing raunchy songs for a living but are not ready to give sexual favours to men. Anaarkali&#39;s battle may have been a lonely one, but it sure resonated with a lot of women across the country and drove home a very important point- that a &#39;No&#39; means a &#39;No&#39;. While the film was lauded by the critics, its the audience which overlooked the film. Perhaps because of its look or maybe because it did not have a big name in the star cast- but it was a film that will remain relevant in the times to come. &nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Meri Pyaari Bindu</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fTax2lxxAvU" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Ayushmann Khurrana had multiple releases this year- making him, along with Rajkummar Rao, the new poster boy of the middle-class. And while people loved him in <em>Shubh Mangal Saavdhan</em> and <em>Bareilly Ki Barfi-</em> his performance in Akshay&nbsp;Roy&#39;s <em>Meri Pyaari Bindu</em> almost went unnoticed. Which is unfortunate because of all the three films, Khurrana was absolutely brilliant as Bubla Roy, the wry, angsty novelist in this film. Paired opposite the vivacious Parineeti Chopra, the film took a fairly realistic approach towards modern romances and heartbreaks. With a beautiful soundtrack, Meri Pyaari Bindu was perhaps the most subtle love story of this year with endering performances by not just the lead pair but the entire supporting cast- who are mainly known faces of Bengali film industry.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Death In The Gunj</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nMN8GS2JZ_A" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Konkona Sen Sharma&#39;s film was in English and a bit of Bengali, which is perhaps the reason that the film had less commercial viability. But the actress-filmmaker should be given credit for making a film that will remain relevant for decades to come. At the onset, it looked like a mystery thriller about a death in McCluskiegunj where a family gathers for a vacation- but the story ultimately was so much more than that. The film dealt with how a society perceives masculinity and how we always succumb to stereotypes. It had a superlative cast - each performing their character with absolute ease. More importantly, the film made a lot of people sit up and take notice of a fine actor called Vikrant Massey- who as the central character Shutu - gave one of the best performances this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Trapped</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RJaj39jI-qk" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>2017 can easily be called Rajkummar Rao&#39;s year. Not only did the actor get critical appreciation, but also tasted commercial success. With as a many as 5 releases this year, Rao got to showcase his versatility in each of his films. Among those films, Vikramaditya Motwane&#39;s <em>Trapped</em> was perhaps the most different of the lot. It was a tricky film, to begin with- with just one character trapped in a confined space- but Rao performance and a fine screenplay written by Hardik Mehta made<em> Trapped </em>the most unconventional film of the year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Jagga Jasoos</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xtm48kJwL1I" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Ranbir Kapoor&#39;s ambitious film had been in the making for a long time and people were sceptical that how relevant would it be when it finally releases. Yet director Anurag Basu made the film thoroughly entertaining. Made like a typical musical- which is a first for Bollywood- <em>Jagga Jasoos</em> was endearing for many reasons. The music, its camerawork, the way the story was narrated and of course Kapoor and Saswata Chatterjee&#39;s performances made the film thoroughly enjoyable. Basu&#39;s tribute of sorts to Satyajit Ray and Herge&#39;s Tintin was lauded by critics but the storytelling method was not taken well by the audience.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Tu Hai Mera Sunday</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b1Q_r-2Y5R4" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Milind Dhaimade&#39;s little film with a big heart was almost overlooked when it released in October. Primarily because the film released on the same day as Saif Ali Khan&#39;s <em>Chef </em>and also because it did not have a big star in it. But word of mouth publicity ensured that the film got more screenings in the coming days and eventually gave <em>Chef</em> a tough fight at the Box Office. Featuring TV heartthrob Barun Sobti, Shahana Goswami and a bunch of theatre and TV actors- <em>Tu Hai Mera Sunday</em> was a story of a motley group in Mumbai looking for space to play football on Sundays. The film, in its own subtle way, highlighted the grave space problem in an ever-growing city like Mumbai. With some endearing performances and breezy narrative- it was a film that a lot of people in the big cities could relate to.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Mukti Bhawan</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1A1Sp6-GcmI" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>A film on death and afterlife should ideally be morbid, no? But director Shubhashish Bhutiani&#39;s film was uplifting and refreshing in more ways than one. A story of a busy son who takes his father to Varanasi as the old man desires to spend his last few days near the ghats, the film was a poignant take on life and the little things we tend to overlook in our daily lives. With superlative performance by Adil Hussain, the film not only dealt with death but also highlighted the importance of celebrating life.&nbsp;</p>

From illicit romances to erectile dysfunction to falling in love at 40 to a middle-class housewife finding her voice in the most unexpected manner- filmmakers tried to tell newer stories this year. And while a lot of these films got appreciated by critics and masses alike- here is a list of films that did not get its due credit. Presenting the most underrated films of 2017. Haraamkhor: A story of a student falling in love with her teacher would make a lot of people uncomfortable. But filmmaker Shlok Sharma dealt with the story in the most subtle, nuanced manner. Coupled with strong performances by its lead- Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Triptha-Haraamkhor was a different take on love. Sharma could have gone overboard showing a romance that most deem as scandalous but he broached the topic in a sensitive, mature manner making the film a compelling watch. Anaarkali Of Aarah If Anaarkali of Aarah had released a year back, Aniruddha Roy Choudhary's Pink would have appeared flawed. Journalist turned filmmaker Avinash Das' film spoke about consent, but in a society where the term is almost alien. Centered around Anaarkali whose profession is to sing songs full of sexual innuendoes, the film highlighted the plight of many such women who may sing raunchy songs for a living but are not ready to give sexual favours to men. Anaarkali's battle may have been a lonely one, but it sure resonated with a lot of women across the country and drove home a very important point- that a 'No' means a 'No'. While the film was lauded by the critics, its the audience which overlooked the film. Perhaps because of its look or maybe because it did not have a big name in the star cast- but it was a film that will remain relevant in the times to come. Meri Pyaari Bindu Ayushmann Khurrana had multiple releases this year- making him, along with Rajkummar Rao, the new poster boy of the middle-class. And while people loved him in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Bareilly Ki Barfi- his performance in Akshay Roy's Meri Pyaari Bindu almost went unnoticed. Which is unfortunate because of all the three films, Khurrana was absolutely brilliant as Bubla Roy, the wry, angsty novelist in this film. Paired opposite the vivacious Parineeti Chopra, the film took a fairly realistic approach towards modern romances and heartbreaks. With a beautiful soundtrack, Meri Pyaari Bindu was perhaps the most subtle love story of this year with endering performances by not just the lead pair but the entire supporting cast- who are mainly known faces of Bengali film industry. Death In The Gunj Konkona Sen Sharma's film was in English and a bit of Bengali, which is perhaps the reason that the film had less commercial viability. But the actress-filmmaker should be given credit for making a film that will remain relevant for decades to come. At the onset, it looked like a mystery thriller about a death in McCluskiegunj where a family gathers for a vacation- but the story ultimately was so much more than that. The film dealt with how a society perceives masculinity and how we always succumb to stereotypes. It had a superlative cast - each performing their character with absolute ease. More importantly, the film made a lot of people sit up and take notice of a fine actor called Vikrant Massey- who as the central character Shutu - gave one of the best performances this year. Trapped 2017 can easily be called Rajkummar Rao's year. Not only did the actor get critical appreciation, but also tasted commercial success. With as a many as 5 releases this year, Rao got to showcase his versatility in each of his films. Among those films, Vikramaditya Motwane's Trapped was perhaps the most different of the lot. It was a tricky film, to begin with- with just one character trapped in a confined space- but Rao performance and a fine screenplay written by Hardik Mehta made Trapped the most unconventional film of the year. Jagga Jasoos Ranbir Kapoor's ambitious film had been in the making for a long time and people were sceptical that how relevant would it be when it finally releases. Yet director Anurag Basu made the film thoroughly entertaining. Made like a typical musical- which is a first for Bollywood- Jagga Jasoos was endearing for many reasons. The music, its camerawork, the way the story was narrated and of course Kapoor and Saswata Chatterjee's performances made the film thoroughly enjoyable. Basu's tribute of sorts to Satyajit Ray and Herge's Tintin was lauded by critics but the storytelling method was not taken well by the audience. Tu Hai Mera Sunday Milind Dhaimade's little film with a big heart was almost overlooked when it released in October. Primarily because the film released on the same day as Saif Ali Khan's Chef and also because it did not have a big star in it. But word of mouth publicity ensured that the film got more screenings in the coming days and eventually gave Chef a tough fight at the Box Office. Featuring TV heartthrob Barun Sobti, Shahana Goswami and a bunch of theatre and TV actors- Tu Hai Mera Sunday was a story of a motley group in Mumbai looking for space to play football on Sundays. The film, in its own subtle way, highlighted the grave space problem in an ever-growing city like Mumbai. With some endearing performances and breezy narrative- it was a film that a lot of people in the big cities could relate to. Mukti Bhawan A film on death and afterlife should ideally be morbid, no? But director Shubhashish Bhutiani's film was uplifting and refreshing in more ways than one. A story of a busy son who takes his father to Varanasi as the old man desires to spend his last few days near the ghats, the film was a poignant take on life and the little things we tend to overlook in our daily lives. With superlative performance by Adil Hussain, the film not only dealt with death but also highlighted the importance of celebrating life.
