Though the title of the film brings back memories of Dirty Harry, the famous Clint Eastwood cop action film series of the 1970s and early 1980s, Dirty Hari is an erotic thriller in which characters are either ambivalent or intense or both. This is also what makes the movie watchable, even though the film doesn’t always succeed in keeping the audiences emotionally involved. But more on that later!
In the film, Hari (Shravan Reddy) is a brilliant chess player who befriends Vasudha (Ruhani Sharma), who’s the daughter of a rich businessman. They get along well, and in no time fall in love. Just as they’re about to get married, Hari develops a liking for Jasmine (Simrat Kaur), a debutante actress who’s up for bold roles and is also his friend’s girlfriend. Jasmine also believes in the power of hard work, which is in contrast with Hari’s attitude, the man she’s attracted to in a moment of weakness. Hari, as he repeats too often in the film, believes luck plays a crucial role in life. None of it stops Hari and Jasmine from having a secret affair though, but their sexcapades lead to unforeseen consequences.
