Hate Story (2012)

ridiculous rating

Amateur movie with Big budget

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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 story2 star for actor(Gulshan Devaiah)2 star for the eye openers

The female protagonist, played by Paoli Dam, gets bamboozled by a tycoon's son, and it would have been a wonder if she hadn't been. Greedy, simple-minded, over-confident and full of silly attitude, she was a sitting duck for the ordeal that she had to face; such was her stupidity that she also managed to get pregnant (in this day and age!) in just one night of wild abandon. The tycoon's son was ruthless, but not ruthless enough, so she managed to survive the ordeal, and continued to drum up trouble for the bloke all through the film. And that about sums up this 'story'. The film appears to be have been written specifically for Paoli.. there is hardly any frame in which she is not present. The villain (=tycoon's son), played by newcomer, Gulshan Devaiah, is villainous enough. Rest of the cast is inconsequential. There is a lot of unnecessary, jarring background music.. and a lot of unnecessary panning and wide-angle shots of Delhi, and its neighborhood: Gurgaon and Ghaziabad. Are we trying to impress an international audience that we too have high-rises, a metro rail, a dazzling city center (Connaught Place), heritage buildings (India Gate) and ghettos (Chandni Chowk)? Sometimes, the proceedings border on the ridiculous. For example, when our high-profile heroine approaches a high-class prostitute to learn some tips on how to become a high-class prostitute herself. Apparently, the tips are successful, for soon, from penury, our heroine owns a Mercedes and moves into a sprawling, super-deluxe bungalow. Wow!!There is a lot of hate here, but no story. I just hope young, impressionable girls do not take the film's underlying message seriously - that blackmail and prostitution are sure-shot ways of getting rich in the shortest possible time.

This movie is strong, good script, great casting, excellent acting, and over the top directing. Even if the viewer does not like revenge type of movies, he or she will watch the entire film, the audiences is glued to what will happen next as the film progresses. Its about, loyalty, greed, relationships, and real life. This is a great mix, and the artistic style make the film memorable. The film-making is excellent and very suspenseful at times.Its great if you actually listen and pay attention because the whole time they are building up to the end.It is the most fantastic ending I've seen but watch the movie.Hate Story,for me is more than a movie! Any film that can be watched 250 odd times and still enthrall has to go down as one of the best. Intense, operatic, melodramatic, overblown and frankly insane! More than any other film, it builds momentum from scene to scene, chugging forward from a slow start to climax with perhaps the most memorable ending in Indian cinema history.

Engrossing motion picture that features some of the finest editing, cinematography and performances ever. This is by far the best movie ever to give a portrait of organized crime, this movie goes deep inside and shows it all inside out..The writing was phenomenal and breathtaking. As mentioned before there has been no movie quoted more than this. It is not even the quotes though that makes the writing in here so perfect. It is the symbolism and meaning that went into every scene. There are countless symbols, messages and lines in here that are so memorable yet it is as realistic as a movie could get.The directing by Vivek Agnihotri was perfect as well.Vivek deserves credit for this. The symbolism and messages that went into every scene also has to do with the directing not just the writing. The movie is so well edited and strung together that the only word that could come to my mind is perfection.My rating : 9.5/10, MUST WATCH !!!!
