Shraddha Kapoor's Haseena Parkar was a sleeping pill, not a sleeper hit. On Wahiyat Wednesday
India Today
Shraddha Kapoor's Haseena Parkar turns 4 today. And we've finally found some merit in it. It can help you doze off.
We're all for alternative perspectives. So, that way, four years ago on September 22, when Apoorva Lakhia gave us Haseena Parkar, we were intrigued. Without, of course, getting into the debate of whether one should glorify Dawood Ibrahim, who singlehandedly shook India with the 1993 Mumbai blasts, taking 257 lives and leaving 717 maimed. Or even humanise him. He did. But that wasn't the worst thing about Haseena Parkar. It was Shraddha Kapoor.
Haseena Parkar is an elaborate courtroom drama, where Aapa Haseena, played by Shraddha, defends her Bhai Dawood, played by her real-life bhai Siddhant Kapoor in the said case. "Jise Rs 2000 ka bijli bill nahi samajh aata, use Rs 2000 crore ka business kaise samajh aayega," she asks. There is, however, a possibility that you missed this dialogue, simply because Shraddha, at all times, had two rasgullas stuffed inside her mouth. Menacing has always been akin to teeth-grinding thus far, Haseena Parkar showed us otherwise.
