The plot of Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba explores Rani’s life as a widow in Agra, secretly meeting Rishu as the two save money to flee the country and evade the authorities for good. However, a new cop takes charge of the case and is convinced that Rishu is alive and that he and Rani conspired to kill Neel. To throw the police off, Rani marries her new admirer, Abhimanyu (Sunny Kaushal), hoping this move will convince them that Rishu is truly dead and she is moving on with her life.
Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba: The Ending Explained
In a drunken moment, Rani reveals to Abhimanyu that Rishu is still alive. To their surprise, Abhimanyu offers to help them arrange everything they need to leave the country. However, his true intentions are soon revealed when he tries to kill Rishu, hoping to end up with Rani, as she had hinted that she might consider a relationship with him if Rishu were out of the picture.
Abhimanyu confesses to Rani that he has murdered several of his family members, explaining that betrayal is the one thing he cannot tolerate. With murderous intent, he attempts to kill Rani, but she escapes and rushes to the cops, claiming her husband is trying to murder her. She also admits that Rishu is still alive and that Abhimanyu plans to kill him too. Rani is arrested, and the police leak information to the media that she is being tortured in jail, hoping the news will reach Rishu and prompt him to surrender.

Rishu indeed surrenders but sets a condition: he must meet Rani at the railway bridge before turning himself in. At the moment of surrender, Abhimanyu also arrives at the scene, and a fight ensues between the three, resulting in all of them falling into the river. It’s revealed that this was all pre-planned so they could fake their deaths and escape the country. The bridge is above a crocodile-infested area, which Abhimanyu and Rishu had cleared out days earlier by luring the crocodiles away. However, when they fall into the river, a crocodile unexpectedly appears. Abhimanyu disables Rishu’s fake arm, preventing him from swimming and leaving him to be eaten by the crocodile. Rani, believing Rishu to be dead, starts a new life with Abhimanyu, only to receive a message from Rishu revealing he is still alive.
To escape Abhimanyu, who is now known as a prolific murderer, Rani sends a book to the cops that leads to Abhimanyu’s arrest while she fakes her death once again by jumping off a cliff. She swims across the river and reunites with Rishu during a crowded festival, and the lovers finally start a fresh life together.
Plot Holes in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba
While Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba delivers an entertaining filmy thriller, there are several logical inconsistencies. The entire plan of going to the cops seems illogical, as it’s a huge risk for the trio to assume that the police would agree to Rishu’s demand to meet at the railway bridge, allowing them to fake their deaths in public and escape. Additionally, if Abhimanyu intended to live with Rani, his confession of murdering his family members makes little sense, as it leads to his becoming a wanted criminal.
Alternatively, one could argue that Rishu arrived just in time to save Rani from being killed, and once the situation became Rani-Rishu versus Abhimanyu, with Rani now aware of Abhimanyu’s murderous past, they bargained with him to hatch a plan where all three could escape the police. However, this still doesn’t explain why Rani revealed to the cops that Abhimanyu had murdered his family; she could have simply stated that he was trying to kill her and Rishu due to their betrayal.
Despite these plot holes, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba concludes with a happy ending for the primary couple, providing them satisfying resolution to their tumultuous journey.
