Haseena Parkar Review {2/5}: This crime drama fails to offer an insight into Haseena’s life whatsoever as an individual, beyond her infamous identity as Dawood’s sister
Haseena Parkar Movie Review
CRITIC'S REVIEW
HASEENA PARKAR STORY: This courtroom drama tries to decode the life and criminal activities of India's most wanted fugitive - Dawood Ibrahim's late sister Haseena Parkar, who allegedly headed her brother's crime syndicate in Mumbai and ran proxy business for him.
HASEENA PARKAR REVIEW: As the film shuttles between past and present, it avidly lists down the gang wars and events that led to Dawood's rise as a crime lord-terrorist and its ramification on his family, including his sister Haseena, who was summoned to the Court only once (2007), in spite of the many offences registered against her.
by the way, the recent arrest of Dawood's brother Iqbal Kaskar, from his Mumbai residence on charges of extortion, made one wonder why the bigger fish keep on to roam scot free. While the siblings are clearly no saints, do they somewhere bear the brunt of belonging to the D family? This unacceptably one-dimensional biopic tries to decode this controversial thought.
You walk into the film, hoping to understand the controversial journey of a woman, who turns out to be the aapa (elder sister) or the Godmother of Nagpada. But all you get is a silly costume drama that accidentally victimizes and thus justifies Haseena's illegal actions and warped sense of power under the pretext of 'protecting her family'. While the intention is still subjective as it's a filmmaker's interpretation of a character, the film's biggest drawback is its lack of depth.
The crime drama fails to offer an insight into Haseena's life whatsoever as an individual, beyond her infamous identity as Dawood's sister, who dropped her bhai's name to resolve property disputes, extort money from builders etc.
