'Haseen Dillruba' Review: Taapsee, Vikrant's Film Is Problematic Yet Engrossing

The Quint  

There is one character in Haseen Dillruba whose name is mentioned many times over but we never get to see him - Dinesh Pandit. The reason I’m focusing on him is because irrespective of how many times his name comes up one can feel his presence throughout and frankly we are all the better for it, because the only way Haseen Dillruba truly works is if we unequivocally surrender to its pulpy universe. Writer Kanika Dhillon gently nudges us towards a complete suspension of disbelief as we become willing voyeurs of a racy, murder mystery with outlandish cliches and scandalous details. While there is an actual place by the same name but in the film it feels like such a place can exist only in the yellow tattered pages of an old pulp fiction novel.
