The plot, revolving around a wife's questionable fidelity and a murder investigation, is intriguing enough to hold your attention. Taapsee Pannu shines in her role, bringing a mix of vulnerability and strength to Rani. However, the film's pacing can feel uneven, with some scenes dragging on while others rush to the climax. The twists are engaging but can also be predictable if you're familiar with the genre. While the film is visually appealing and has moments of genuine tension, it ultimately feels like it doesn't fully deliver on its promise. If you're in the mood for a thriller that blends romance with mystery, Haseen Dillruba might just satisfy your cravings, but don’t expect it to break new ground. Show less
