Haseena Parkar Review

'Haseena Parkar' is a film starring Shraddha Kapoor and marks the debut of her brother Sidhant Kapoor who play brother and sister in this biographical crime drama. The film is based on the true story of Dawood Ibrahim's sister and is directed by Poorva Lakhia.

Shraddha Kapoor's portrayal of the female gangster is as cliche as it can get where she chews most of her words. This happens after she is turned into a gangster before which she speaks normally. Sidhant Kapoor tries his best but his character of Dawood fades away as the plot moves along and focuses more on Haseena.

The director, Apoorva Lakhia seems to be confused as to what he wants from the film. The tone keeps changing from time to time and makes the movie jumbled. Despite the actors trying their hardest, the lack of a good screenplay ruins the experience of watching the film.

Verdict: 'Haseena Parkar' is a film that tries to be more than it actually is. It sometimes disguises itself as a stylish film and sometimes a costume drama. There is not a single performance that stands out and the story seems incoherent.
