Dinesh Pandit, a writer of lurid Hindi crime novels, has contributed significantly to ‘Haseen Dillruba’ and ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’, though he is not a film star. Rani Kashyap’s fondness for Pandit’s novels stems from his frequent reading of his poetic verses on love and life. This obsession comes to her aid when she discovers the murder of her husband in the small town of Jwalapur.
Pandit’s novels and their lessons on the etymology of her life are an integral part of Rani’s plot in the second film as the heroine gets drawn into a dangerous love triangle. Consequently, fans are left to ponder on the connections between these works and the events contained in them. SPOILERS: Apart from the spoilers, the trailer for the upcoming film contains an image of the BIR film: “Hawas ka Aatang, Cobra and Animos are the story and the story of the character.”
Dinesh Pandit’s crime novels are characterized by a fictional writing style.
Kanika Dhillon wrote the Hijab screenplay for Haseen Dillruba and Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, creating fictional worlds for both films. Dhillon’s films feature a variety of characters and their enigmatic personalities, with Dinesh Pandit as the central figure of the story.
To begin with, Pandit is a fictional ode to the real-life Hindi pulp fiction writers who were popular in different phases of the genre, including the works of Gulshan Nanda, Ved Prakash Sharma and Surendra Mohan Pathak, who wrote hundreds of books. Moreover, these writers had a plethora of fans who embraced their works, including detective stories, romantic romances and crime novels.
Due to cultural changes in the last few generations, Pandit’s character continues to serve as a tribute to the Hindi pulp fiction genre. In an interview with OTTplay, Dhillon expressed her admiration for Dinesh Pandit, calling the books “inspirational” in the field of Hindi pulp crime fiction.
The relationship between Rani and Neel is foreshadowed by Hawas ka Aatang.
Hawas ka Aatang is a book that has a major influence on Haseen Dillruba, which describes how the initial phase of Rani’s relationship with Neel leads to a failed marriage between the two spouses.
In an earlier encounter on the balcony of the house, Rani and Neel are seen reading Hawas Ka Aatang, the title of the book hinting at the potential danger of sexual attraction.
“Cobra ka Intiqam” and “Magarmach ka Shikanja: Narrative Catalysts, Part I. Chapter VII: The Black Death Experience in the Middle East” have been widely praised in the Muslim world for their historical accuracy and consistency.
Dinesh Pandit’s novels from ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’ are used more in the film’s plot as compared to Hawas ka Aatang. In the earlier film, Rani and Rishu use the plot from Kasauli ka Kehar to cover up Neel’s murder and doctors to evade the law. Similarly, Abhimanyu, a more recent addition to the film, uses another novel by Pandit, Cobra ka Intiqam (R
Rani, Rishu and Abhimanyu use the Magarmach ka Shikanja as a basis to avoid the official investigation of Officer Montu, similar to how the 1988 film Khoon Bhari Maang mentions crocodiles as important plot elements. Although they are as artificial as Dinesh Pandit’s other books, both books play a larger role in the film’s plot.
