Hate Story

An "erotic thriller" in India, man that's something you do not come across every day. So, Vivek Agnihotri did manage to gather a respectable amount of audience for his latest movie.

For me, Hate Story is just about an average movie.

The story is all about a cat and mouse chase between the protagonist Kavya Krishna played by Paoli Dam and Siddharth Dhanrajgir played by Gulshan Devaiya. There isn't much other than that.

Now, when a director is confident about the script and the overall movie itself it often goes in favour of the film itself. But this same confidence hits it hard when the director becomes so sure about the movie's success that he doesn't put in the desired effort. Unfortunately, Hate Story is about just that.

Even in Paoli Dam's case as the vibrant journalist(considering she is one the leading actress in the Bengali film industry) it seems that just because she's showing off her skin and doing bold scenes, she feels that the audience won't care if she hams through most of the scenes and talks in a weird trying to be sensuous kind of voice. I mean I felt so.

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the music and let me tell you one more thing the PROMO of Hate Story was much more BOLD(if you know what I mean.. hehe) than the whole movie itself.

A MAJOR REASON that left me disappointed :P considering that I had to tell my parents I was going for the movie. Plus the word 'Fuck' was used wherever possible which was annoying.

Yet,(there's always a 'yet') I can cannot ignore the brave attempt, the good pace and the not so bad concept of the movie. Plus Gulshan Devaiya does a decent job as well. Nikhil Dwivedi is just okay. And Paoli Dam respect

2/5 My advice wait for the director's cut version ;)

This film begins with an investigative journalist by the name of "Kaavya Krishna" (Paoli Dam) and her good friend "Vicky" (Nikhil Dwivedi) capturing incrimating evidence on camera of a high-ranking executive who works for a major corporation there in India. The next morning her article makes the headlines of the news cycle and the person responsible for the running of that company "Siddharth Dhanrajgir" (Gulshan Devaiah) is told by his domineering father, "Kumar Dhanrajgir" (Saurabh Dubey), who owns the business, to clean up the public relations disaster immediately. The problem is, Siddharth is totally incapable of simply correcting the issue at hand and as a result becomes determined to get even with Kaavya at all costs. So, not long afterward, he sets up an appointment with her and offers her a staggering amount of money to entice her to work for him. Thinking that he is on the level she accepts. Eventually, one thing leads to another and she falls in love with him. However, the day after she sleeps with him he abruptly fires her and revels in her humiliation as she is forced out of his office. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there because a couple of weeks later she discovers that she is pregnant. But when she informs Siddharth of this he not only has her kidnapped and the baby aborted but also has her sterilized as well. And from that point on Kaavya vows to get her revenge upon him. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought that this was a pretty good film for the most part as it had an interesting plot and some good acting from all concerned. Admittedly, there were certain scenes which were completely unrealistic, but even so I enjoyed this movie overall and have rated it accordingly. Above average.

Unlike the usual Bollywood flicks this is more gruesome.Most of Bhatt's movies are based on greed and revenge Hate story is one of them. The casting of the movie is not good. Paoli Dam was not at her best, i mean the movie has many sex scenes but she doesn't fit it. Bhatt should have cast Esha Gupta(Jannat2) for this role because she's HOT. The movie has some eye openers like corruption, scams. I reckon you don't watch this movie with your family because it's "A" rated film. I had more expectations from this film when i seen the banners(Paoli's naked back) but when the seen her face if was like(who made her a heroine). The script is not that bad but not worth a watch.

My rating 5/10 1 star for story

2 star for actor(Gulshan Devaiah)

2 star for the eye openers

Let us discuss the first part which released on 20th April 2012. It casts Nikhil Dwivedi, Gulshan Devaiah & Paoli Dam. This film as the name suggests has to hate at the center and in this part, one can explore the intensity of hate between Paoli Dam and Gulshan Devaiah. What I like about this film is the reality because if you see today's films most of them seem to be fictional but this film could be drawn into reality also. The story was simple but the presentation was very good. The music was average while the direction, screenplay, cinematography are good. I give this film an average rating.

well by "so-so" i mean the film is only half good. You may watch it, but don't go in with a high expectation. The first half of the movie is disastrous. If you can somehow survive the first half you may enjoy the rest. The acting has been poor throughout the film. The love making scene of the first half was nothing less than comedy although there were some good intimate love making scene in the second half. overall a very strong subject, somewhat out of the box, but rather poorly executed.This is the very first time boolywood managed to present something different bold yet very realistic topic. I felt with a better star cast the film could have been much better. Paouli Dam did a descent job although she still needs some acting lessons. To sum it up, i would say, its watchable but definitely not a must watch.
