HATE STORY. Its very first promo became the topic of discussion, went viral, managed to scandalize one and all with its audacious and explicit essence. Outrageous and shocking, the promo hit you like a ton of bricks, generating heat and hullabaloo due to its unconcealed sexuality, making it the most discussed promo on social networking sites that day of the week. In fact, the distribution rights of the film were picked up instantly thanks to the remarkable influence of this promo.
The story revolves around Kaavya [Paoli Dam] and her transformation from a simple middle class journalist to a sex worker to seek revenge. Kaavya, who doesn’t have anything to lose anymore, uses her sexuality as a lethal weapon to rip Siddharth [Gulshan Devaiah] apart by using everyone connected to him one way or another. Thus begins the journey of hatred and brutal vengeance.
Movies with such an audacious theme generally ignite debates and HATE STORY is sure to meet with severe reactions. The makers ought to be prepared for some bouquets and brickbats. What makes the movie watchable is the vengeance aspect. But the ease with which she makes her way to the people she sets her sights on is hard to digest. First, the CEO [Joy Sengupta] followed by the influential politician [Mohan Kapur]… the woman barters her body for getting closer to her prey. But the manner in which she executes her plan seems so unworkable and unrealistic.
