Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

suite92 Cinematography: 8/10 The camera work varies from just competent to almost glorious.Sound: 4/10 The interjected music routines were more than a bit intrusive, unlikely, and off-putting.Acting: 5/10 This was a mixed bag. Some of the minor players are indifferent. Joy Sengupta was fairly wooden, for instance. Ghishan Deviaiah's Jekyll and Hyde performance was not convincing. On the other hand, Nikhil Dwivedi was fine as Vicky, and Paoli Dam was wonderful as Kavya.Screenplay: 5/10 It is difficult to take this one seriously. That is, did you just do that? Seriously? The plot's twists and turns were frequent and about 50 percent of them were too unlikely to believe. The house of cards the Sid character had constructed was just too unwieldy to hold up to any kind of scrutiny.

shahhirenmr Saw an excellent movie after a long time. Great performances by all the actors, however Gulshan is the best and 2nd is Paoli Dam.The film holds you from beginning to end and twists and turns make it worth watching.Good work from the crew. Fine tuned screenplay. The dialogues are well written and timing is good.Although not meant for young children, this is a great revenge story, wherein you hate all the characters by the end and that is the success of the movie. This is my shortest review on IMDb as this movie doesn't need words, see it to experience it. I'm sure you won't regret.

Sidharth Banerjee 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 ;)

Sameer Memon 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.
