Hugely off the mark, Shraddha Kapoor�s film is dreadfully half baked

Haseena Parkar has incidents like the encounter of Pathan gangster Sammad Khan, the killing of Ibrahim Parkar and infamous JJ Hospital shootout in 1992. Unlike Daddy, the film hints that some members of Mumbai�s police supported the idea of fielding local goons against the reign of the Pathans. The...(more)

Tries too hard to entertain but fails

Director Apoorva Lakhia has not tried his hand directing a gangster film for the first time. Earlier, his Shootout At Lokhandwala, which highlighted the real-life gunbattle of Maya Dolas in 1991, that released in 2007, was a good attempt by the director, but this time, he totally goes haywire with H...(more)

Movie Review

Apoorva Lakhia's poor direction and penchant for making films on Mumbai's underworld dons that ride on sensation over substance, all you get is a tanned Shraddha Kapoor who looks like she's holding two kachoris in her mouth. The actress is 'lucky' to be getting biopics (she will essay the role of ba...(more)

Movie Review

Apoorva Lakhia�s direction is not upto the mark. It is indeed praiseworthy that he didn�t glorify Haseena Parkar completely. But it is bewildering to see how some episodes are not fully explained. For instance, Haseena's son Danish (Paras Priyadarshan) gets assassinated and it remains unclear who ki...(more)

Shraddha Kapoor is a misfit as the menacing don

It's impossible to look at Haseena without bringing Bhai (Siddhanth Kapoor) into the picture. Lakhia has a real brother-sister duo to depict the bond but the material is so listless that there is little Kapoors can do here other than she crying out "Bhai" at his many misdemeanours and he calling up ...(more)

Shraddha Kapoor's best efforts can't save the film

The movie tries to portray her as a victim of circumstances and thereby justifying her actions. There's also no doubt the world she lived in was far murkier than the one-sided, simplistic view that Apoorva Lakhia offers. Parkar comes across as the female version of Robinhood. The problem is also th...(more)

It is an utterly exhausting watch

Lakhia's gangster drama is a rather superficial fare which allows you to dig nothing about Haseena Aapa. The film unfolds as a courtroom drama with Haseena (played by Shraddha) taking us through her journey - a childhood spent in the burqa, modest upbringing, love for her brother, a cocooned marria...(more)
