Shraddha Kapoor's 'Haseena Parkar', releasing on September 22, has been the talk of the town for quite some time now. Be it Shraddha's gritty avatar, or the story of Mumbai underworld's 'Aapa', the film has piqued the interest of fans. Helmed by Apoorva Lakhia, 'Haseena Parkar' narrates the story of Dawood Ibrahim's sister, Haseena. Here are five reasons why you should give this flick a watch this weekend.
The first reason is Shraddha Kapoor herself. While we have seen Shraddha as the sweet and doe-eyed girl-next-door in Aashiqui and Ek Villain, this is for the first time that Shraddha will play a dark and gritty character like Haseena. And not just that, she plays Haseena from her younger days to the point she becomes the 'Aapa' of the underworld, going through a complete transformation.
The second reason is definitely the intriguing plot of the film. While a lot has been said about Dawood and other gangsters of Mumbai, this is the first time that the story of Haseena Parkar is coming to the screens.
As much as we have seen till now in the trailer and teasers, the dialogues of 'Haseena Parkar' are also as gripping as the plotline. Writer Suresh Nair has done a splendid job here with his lines. And with films like 'Kahaani', 'Namastey London' and 'Airlift' in his kitty, we don't expect any less.
Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai was based on Dawood Ibrahim, Arjun Rampal's Daddy on Arun Gawli, but this is the first time that the audience will see the story of a female underworld don. Also, it becomes all the more tough for Shraddha to essay the role because it is fairly unprecedented.
With films like 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' and 'Ek Ajnabee' to his name, Apoorva Lakhia also is a reason to watch this gritty tale on September 22.
