As Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’s release date nears, here’s a recap of Haseen Dillruba.
What happened in Haseen Dillruba?
Haseen Dillrubu opens with a bang, literally. Rani Kashyap (Taapsee Pannu) dashes into her burning home right after an explosion, only to find her husband Rishabh “Rishu” Saxena’s (Vikrant Massey) severed arm amidst the wreckage. This gripping start sets the film for a thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and murder.
The story unfolds through Rani’s flashbacks as she recounts her not-so-perfect marriage during a police interrogation. Suspected of murdering Rishu due to her affair with his cousin Neel (Harshvardhan Rane), Rani spins a tale full of twists and turns. Rani and Rishu’s arranged marriage begins on a rocky note. The couple quickly realizes their lack of chemistry, leading to growing tension and resentment. Moreover, Rishu overhears Rani complaining about his inadequacies to her family, which drives him to emotionally withdraw. So he avoids her by leaving for work early and taking night classes.
Feeling lonely, Rani has a steamy affair with Neel, whose flirtatious nature and physical appeal offer the excitement she craves. This illicit romance, however, complicates her already strained marriage, pushing Haseen Dillruba’s plot into a thrilling and deadly direction. Rani eventually confesses her infidelity to Rishu. Hence, he goes to Delhi and stabs Neel with a screwdriver in a fit of rage. However, Neel survives and beats Rishu, but they reconcile, and Rishu returns home, threatening Rani and eventually kicking her out.
Haseen Dillruba’s ending explained
Rani initially decides to leave but changes her mind to make amends. Rishu’s rage manifests in increasingly dangerous ways—from leaving slippery paper soap on the stairs to rigging the gas stove to explode. Despite these violent outbursts, when Rani pleads for forgiveness, surprisingly, Rishu forgives her.
However, Neel, angered by rumors spread by Rishu, returns to confront the couple. The situation escalates when Neel threatens to share intimate photos of Rani. In a frantic struggle, Rani accidentally kills Neel with a frozen leg of mutton. Instead of calling the police, Rishu proposes they stage his own death to escape the consequences.
Executing a plan inspired by Rani’s favorite pulpy crime novel, they dismember Neel’s body, discarding Neel’s arm and Rishu’s own arm to mislead the police. Rani creates an alibi by shopping at the market, while Rishu triggers an explosion and escapes to a nearby river, surviving by a narrow margin. The police chief eventually pieces together their plan, realizing they replicated the novel’s ending. The final scene depicts Rani and Rishu reuniting and starting a new life together.
With Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’s release this Friday, viewers will now see what awaits the couple.
