Mumbai, 5 Dec 2015: The veteran film maker Vikram Bhatt is responsible for HATE STORY 3's story and screenplay. And he does a neat job at that (a few plots and sub plots notwithstanding). The story though amateurish has enough twists and turns to keep the viewer hooked. The high point of the film is that the narrative that holds your attention right from the word when Karan Singh Grover's character reveals his true intentions.
There are a handful of places wherein the skin show and sleaze looks a bit out of place (read 'thrusted'), but, considering the premise of the story plot and the 'demand of the script', these scenes merges itself with the narrative. As far as the direction is concerned, Vishal Pandya is no newcomer to the premise of HATE STORY 3. He does what was expected of him to do. Like its predecessor (HATE STORY 2), Vishal has kept the storyline of HATE STORY 3 as an erotic thriller that navigates the same route. Like the first and second part, the sexually explicit content is cleverly interwoven within the said premise. But what sets apart HATE STORY 3 from its predecessors is that unlike the earlier versions, here, the male protagonist decides to get even with the oppressor. And it is Vishal who needs to be applauded for skilfully handling the movie that has an assortment of sexually explicit scenes which may appeal to those who relish steamy thrillers. The film has an extremely engaging first half, whereas, the film's second half helps in maintaining the grip, but, the loose ends do show up intermittently.
As far as the performances are concerned, one cannot single out a particular actor in this film as all the lead actors have performed as per the requirements of their respective characters. Sharman Joshi is decent in his role of a scheming businessman. Karan Singh Grover, on the other hand, delivers a clean performance. He does complete justice to his role that had multiple shades of love, lust, emotions, friendship and revenge. As for the heroines, it's Zarine Khan, who announces her (re) arrival in Bollywood with this film. Despite being out of action for some time now, she is bound to shock the viewers with her performance. The premise of the film demanded that the female protagonist deliver a commanding performance. Additionally, it's imperative (courtesy, the script) that she shed her inhibitions and don a bold avatar. Zarine Khan catches you completely unaware with a no-holds-barred performance, interpreting her character with utmost confidence and oozing sexuality at the same time. Daisy Shah, on the other hand, struggles initially, but, later on, goes with the flow of the film. She really has to work hard on the emotional scenes. The rest of the actors help in taking the film forward.
