Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba 2024 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba moves from the sleepy town of Jwalapur to the city of Agra as it attempts to recapture the dark and edgy charm of its predecessor. Written by Kanika Dhillon and directed by Jayprad Desai, the film has all the ingredients to be a thrilling adventure and with the addition of a formidable new adversary and obsessed lovers, the stakes are raised significantly. A tenacious cop, Montu (Jimmy Shergill), is hot on the heels of Rani and Rishu, which spells doom for the duo because he is the chacha of murdered ex-lover Neel, making the case personal to him.


Despite initial promise, the execution is poor and the script tries to spread itself too thin, resulting in illogical decisions and unconvincing outcomes. The focus of the film shifts from the intriguing mystery of the first installment to a more straightforward chase, diluting the suspense elements that made the original engaging. The cat-and-mouse game between Rani, Rishu and the police becomes predictable, lacking the edge-of-your-seat tension that Vinil Mathew's film offered.

Director: Jayprad Desai
Writers: Kanika Dhillon, Anaya Mazumdar, Anuj Kumar Pandey
Stars: Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, Sunny Kaushal

While there are moments of intrigue, the narrative often wanders, bogged down by unnecessary subplots (including murders) and convoluted twists. The script's attempts at witty dialogue and literary allusions (the trashy whodunit undertone a highlight of the first film) often seem overdone this time around, detracting from the overall impact. At 132 minutes, the film moves along at a decent pace, but 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, though her performance in the first installment was more subtly nuanced. Sunny Kaushal is decent as the docile but intense Abhimanyu. The on-screen dynamic of the two actors is compelling. Aditya Srivastav and Jimmy Shergill are underused, despite Shergill's striking scenes. The cinematography is a redeeming factor, capturing the essence of Agra.


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

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past.  Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
