HATE STORY MOVIE REVIEW ......





Hate Story Movie ReviewRating: 2 STARS
Cast: Paoli Dam, Gulshan Devaiah, Nikhil Dwivedi
Direction: Vivek Agnihotri
Genre: Drama, Thriller

Ok, we know sex sells. But now a days the viewers of India are changing. They want some logic in the story also. For instance ‘The Dirty Picture’. There was passion, double meaning dialogues, erotic scenes but with power packed performances and more importantly a story, which helped the movie to reach-out to masses.

Hate Story movie revolves around Kaavya (Paoli Dam), a middle class journalist. Fate forces her to become a sex worker to seek revenge from Siddharth (Gulshan Devaiah). To achieve her target she uses everyone who are close to Siddharth. Kaavya’s friend Vicky (Nikhil Dwivedi) secretly loves her but her sexual revenge path affects him as well as Kaavya’s family.

The problem with Hate Story is its story. There are so many instances where one wonders why? Why she has to become a sex worker to take revenge, instead of taking any other way ? Even the approaches to she makes to have sexual relationships with those who are close to Siddharth, is debatable. The story jumps in parts instead of following a smooth flow. The ending also makes you think why ?

Director Vivek Agnihotri tries his best to keep the audience engage. But its the faulty script that lets down.

Though the songs go well with the story but its not worth to remember afterwards.

Paoli Dam who had won acclaim for her performances in Bengali films makes a bold debut in Bollywood with Hate Story. Though she confidently plays her character but her future in Bollywood is still a question mark. Gulshan Devaiah plays his negative character well.

On the whole this movie belongs to only some section of audience. From the promos its clear that its a bold movie. So be prepared for the vulgarity. Wish the script had been a little tighter. Two stars for this movie.

Bollywood Now Rating: *** out of *****
