Review of Hate Story

Hate Story  (20'th April 2012)

One Word which describes the film -Sexciting

Best Dialogue - Shake it, take it , fake it

Genre – Erotic Thriller

Director –  Vivek Agnihotri

Producer- Vikram Bhatt

Music Director – Harshit Saxena
 

Cast - Paoli Dam , Gulshan Devaiya (earlier appeared in Shaitan )   , Nikhil Dwivedi  (last seen in Shor in the City )

Budget - Under 5 crores  

Once upon a time actress Neha Dhupia (during promotion of her film Julie in  2004) said that "Only sex or Shah Rukh Khan sells" . Years later when SRK has lost some of his charms the X factor  still continues to attract audience to the theaters. 

I came to know about this film when the promos were released online in March. The few seconds  promos on TV which said the film is too bold for TV created a lot of curiosity in the minds of youth which was evident when the film remained a topic of discussion on social  networking sites for weeks.

In the film Nikhil’s character tells Paoli , when you go on the path of revenge always dig two graves. After that the film takes you on a fast paced journey from house of prostitution to farm houses , from prison to board room meetings , from dirty politics to annual general meetings .

Paoli Dam as the scorned woman seeking vendetta does complete justice to the role. Her transformation from a confident reporter to a  vulnerable lover to a victim to a  femme fatale was  amazing.

Gulshan Devaiya suits the character of  the anti-hero who wants to succeed at any cost .He plays the  egoistic  businessman’s role ( who stammers in front of his father) with conviction.

Nikhil Dwivedi as Paoli’s friend and silent admirer has nothing much to do.  

The climax was totally unexpected and it just reconfirms the common saying – “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned “

In a line there are Adult films and then there are film made for Adults .

If you loved Sharon Stone  's interrogation scene in  Basic Instinct  (link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttN8O2boQl8  )   you will like Paoli’s bold attempts too.

Watch it,you will be surprised.
