Hate Story 2 (2014) Reviews

• Hate Story 2 does have few moments to keep you engaged

  ketgup832014-07-26

  Bhatt camp had successfully launched franchises of erotic-sex thrillers like Raaz , Jannat , Murder and now Hate Story. The combo of skin-show, melodious music and powerful performances gives Hate Story 2 an extra edge over others. An young and innocent photographer, Sonika, is trapped and being abused by a powerful politician, Mandar. She heaves a sigh of relief after one of her co-worker,Akshay, rescues and takes her away from the wing of dirty politician. However, their happiness is short-lived as the politician discovers their hide-out and strangles them to death. Luckily , Sonika survives the attempted murder and avenges the killing of her boyfriend. First time director, Vishal Pandya does a fine job in keeping audience on their toes with Hate Story 2. What works is the cat-mouse game between Surveen Chawla and Sushant Singh and engaging moments in the film along with melodious music and commendable performances. The romantic track between Surveen Chawla and Jay Bhanusali is half-baked with less-impacting climax which could have been better. Screenplay is average. Cinematography is good. Art direction is decent. Surveen Chawla gives a brilliant performance as a woman who wrecks vengeance on so- called godfather. Sushant Singh is outstanding as a corrupt and selfish politician. Overall, Hate Story 2 does have few moments to keep you engaged. Decent 2.75/5

• This will not disappoint you...

  If you are expecting a movie like Ragini MMS 2 then Im afraid your expectations will not be fulfilled. The entire movie revolves around Surveen Chawla & Sushant Singh. Surveen has given her best shot & has shown signs of being a good actor. Sushant is one of the finest actors Bollywood has ever produced. He has done a terrific job. Jay Bhanushali is pathetic. Songs are OK but better than most of the other Bollywood Flicks. Its definitely a one time watch.. Don't watch it for the songs, watch it for Sushant Singh.

• Watchable Romantic Thriller

  Hate Story 2: First of all let me clear its not an vulgar movie, even you cant place these movie in (A) certificate, its must be certified (U/A) certificate. Its not like that shown in trailers. Its pure Thriller not an Erotic Thriller even Its far better then Previous Version of Hate Story where you have seen only vulgarity. First half is little bit boring and slow, but movie picks up in second half after intermission when surveen starts her vengeance. Sushant singh is perfect in negative role, Jay Bhanushali is OK in small role, Surveen is real eye catcher of Movie, Performed really well. Overall, Hate Story 2 is an average movie. Watchable, but no need to rush in theater's, wait for television premiere.

• All reasons to hate this film

  dineshprakash2014-07-18

  First fifteen minutes of film is interesting. I was sure that at least I am going to watch an above average film for sure but my expectation got crushed. Story offers almost nothing new. Screenplay is only about happening rather than reasoning or highlighting the mood. Dialogues by Girish Dhamija are good. Trailer of this film was clearly indicating that this one is going to offer thrill with seduction coating but there is no thrill and seduction is as much as shown in trailer and in song. A person escapes form a high security hospital very easily, even being wounded badly and Police combing operation is going on? When girl wanted to take vengeance, where did she get lots of money and other resources? She knows everything for granted, where is the person, when he is going to out? Her escaping and follow up scenes are full idiotic. Even her love track should have been intense but gradually it started sounding funny. Where her grand mother went after helping her? Why did villain could not try to find out her? There are lots of unanswered incidents. They are placed because they had to happen. Performance wise Sushant Singh is impressive. Surveen Chawala is good. Music is OK. "Aaj Phir Tum Par Pyar Aaya Hai" is melodious.

• Sluggish script with less eroticism makes this story hateful.

  mohitrulesunderworld2014-07-26

  Hate Story 2 : Revenge drama is one of the most common and popular genre in Hindi cinema. But female revenge drama's are very few which are remembered till date, most popular female revenge drama's are ZAKHMI AURAT, KHOON BHARI MAANG and BANDIT QUEEN. Some of them are B-grade flicks with A-list actress, not required to named them. Director Vishal Pandya tried to live up to that expectation but failed miserably. Coming to performances, Surveen Chawla(as Sonika) she fails to deliver the hotness quotient which Paoli Dam made a trademark of this franchise. Jay Bhanushali(as Akshay) he is wasted and fails to impress, he was just a mannequin and hearing the directors call. Sushant Singh(as Mandar Matre) he was outstanding and probably the shinning star of this drama, after long time making his presence with a mass villainous role and stealing the show. Story was sluggish with no twists and turns just simple revenge drama. Screenplay was inspired from some of previous female revenge drama's especially first half was almost similar to KILL BILL but second half was much better than first half where in the first half they were trying to setup the plot. Hotness quotient is the trademark of this franchise, but it was hardly 3 minutes and that to be not intense. Songs are already ruling the charts. Sunny Leone "Pink Lips" made a sudden appearance from nowhere. On the whole, with less hotness quotient and sluggish script. It dint live up to that expectation where the makers concentrated more on the story rather than eroticism. Sushant Singh was the best thing happen in this flick, if he would have not been there then it would another B or C grade film. I would better prefer Sooraj Barjatya family drama rather than this Revenge Drama.
