Synopsis
Narrating suspense, betrayal, revenge, and a sprinkle of eroticism, the Hate Story franchise is known for its dramatic storylines. Its third installment, Hate Story 3, is directed by Vishal Pandya exploring a machevillian twist on the previous female-focused installments of the franchise that introduces an unappealing male lead.
We follow the story of Sharman Joshi’s character, Aditya Diwan, who is a wealthy businessman running a conglomerate inherited from his deceased brother, Vikram. Diwan seems to be an honorable and diligent man for the sake of his image and is married to a Zareen Khan’s character, Siya. The two are a picture-perfect couple going through the honeymoon phase of their life until they are met by an extremely odd businessman, Saurav Singhania, played by Karan Singh Grover.
Asking everything from Aditya, Saurav goes on to offer him a deal worth millions of rupees, all while throwing in the unbearable condition of wishing to bed Siya for a night. Extremely furious and appalled, Aditya threatens Saurav, setting him on an unescapable journey to loosing everything that up until this point defined him. While discussing the aftermath, things kick off with a draw dropping sequence of events leading up Aditya and Saurav to getting tangled in a game of mind tricks and manipulation.
Aditya soon finds himself in the midst of a political scandal, his business being thwarted, and his marriage hanging by a thread. As his world begins to shatter, Aditya dives into Saurav’s history and uncovers a vengeful motive intertwined with deep-rooted ancestry. Rivalry becomes personal when Aditya finds out Saurav is the younger brother of a woman named Kaya Sharma, played by Daisy Shah, who was once head over heels for Aditya’s older brother, Vikram.
Through a series of flashbacks, the audience learns how Saurav blames the Diwan family for the catastrophic ending to Kaya and Vikram’s love story. Saurav is hell-bent on avenging his sister by executing his meticulously crafted plan to ruin Aditya.
In the final act of the film, Aditya, Saurav, and their respective families pay the price as they are the center of bloody feuds fueled with hatred and revenge. Every character falls deeper into a pit of betrayal, testing loyalty, morality, and love.
Casts and Characters
Sharman Joshi as Aditya Diwan
Aditya Diwan is a well respected businessman and a loving husband until his life takes a turn and becomes the victim of a sinister plot. One of the most shocking shifts in his career came in the wake of the 2015 romance thriller Hate Story 3, after being largely known for his lighter films like 3 Idiots. He then took a detour into more intense and dramatic roles – one of which, Joshi tried his hand at with Hate Story 3 and absolutely nailed it.
Zareen Khan as Siya Diwan
Diwan’s character motivates and assists Aditya as his wife. She is placed in a love and loyalty quandary because of Saurav’s wanton proposal. Zareen Khan’s contribution contains high emotion along with sensual stylization, which is in keeping with the overall aesthetic of the franchise.
Karan Singh Grover as Saurav Singhania
Saurav is Singhania’s antagonist who is an elegant and sinister businessman. He is charming and funny, but sinister with dark designs. Karan Singh Grover makes the character seductive and menacing, portraying an overly vengeful man.
Daisy Shah as Kaya Sharma
Kaya is the sister of Saurav and a significant portion of what drives him to seek vengeance. Daisy Shah adds glamour along deep aggression to the part which weaves complexity into the fabric of the film’s plot.
Other notable members of the production are Raj Premi and the narrator Puja Gupta for their small trademark roles that capture the film’s corporate and personal pitch drama.
Direction and Themes
My views on the movie or Hate Story 3, loaded with eroticism and deeply dramatic visuals, is that my fear for the first part does exist in this film as well. Somehow I see all parts of the movie filled with drama and lust. During all these elements we tend to lose the gripping story line and into yet another corporate mess proficient with romance. It might be a corporate film on the out but during an in depth analysis, it deals with female revenge, as stated earlier was the thematic focus of the first films.
To start off recalling elements of the film, I shall conclude that the theme remains revenge mixed with lust, deceit and the disintegration of trust. See how fears from the past can become obsessively powerful when nurtured. Also see how removing emotional weak spots in power dynamics can spell disaster. It becomes easy to tear down fences when seduction is used as a weapon and hard to ensure morals in near every relationship.
Hate Story 3 is not devoid of trends as in most films claiming to have sharp focus and underlying passion filled drive. Within that stark claim, they often forget glamorously telling a story as the music fills the background. To ensure focus out there, this film seems to have claimed its footing in intimate scenes which do tend to be bold. As for most of epic films which is held under claim of having stunning visuals and catchy sound track, this movie has it all.
Music
This film is not exempted from sexy or emotional actions as music does play a functioning role where rest focused on too much attention devoted to other items. Focused on composing the sound track were quite a number of people, additional to Amaal Mallik, Mithoon and Meet Bros, who accompanied in the film. Lyrics in the film were not forgotten either, for shim Muntashir, Kumaar, and Rashmi Virag made sure to have their word on it.
Popular songs include:
Armaan Malik and Neeti Mohan’s “Tumhe Apna Banane Ka”, part of the movie’s romantic soundtrack.
“Wajah Tum Ho” – It was popular and used as the title track for a T-series thriller later on. A soulful track which hit the charts.
Daisy Shah starred in the “Tu Isaq Mera,” a lively item number.
A party anthem which is high tempo is titled “Neendein Khul Jaati Hain”.
“Tujhko Bhulana,” describing the character’s relationship was heart-wrenching.
The movie attracted a lot of attention from the youth, broadcasting it on multiple stations led to greater associated revenue during the airing.
Reception and Box Office
Critics bashed the film as “the worst in the series,” but the box office clearly tells a different story.
From my stand point, having a less tighter budget and paying more towards graphic necessities allowed for the movie to outperform regularly set projections indicating high levels of romance, intense drama, and catchy music present in the movie appealing to a large audience. After some past failures, this cemented the Hate series as good investment.
Conclusion
Bollywood is notorious for overly dramatic films filled with misplaced hysterical action geared towards love tales filled with unoriginal storylines. Hate Story 3 focuses on passion, grease, drama, and action with a hint of revenge, ensuring that the viewer’s taste for intense entertainment is satisfied, although there are no major twists to the argument. Yaht the polish provided alongside the sometimes comical over-exaggeration is enough to classify Hate Story 3 as a stylized thriller.
Hate Story 3 was a commercial success, a feat that enabled the ster to capitalize by creating offshoot stories bound in the same erotic spin for the Indian market. With the clever blend of emotional intensity and erotic themes that allowed the brand to thrive, they were able to retain its deomand as it opened doors to generating similar voyage bound stories. As for the Hate Story 3 fans registered the film with its agile rigor and partly possible contoured plot, yet undeniably providing a jolt of suspenseful romantic side-dramas blurring the line of reality.
