Ketan Gupta 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

silvan-desouza Nowdays many times, filmmakers opt for the safe route, If a film is successful, there make a part II even if doesn't have any similarity and many times the title is chosen first and then a story is fitted in. Examples like Jannat 2, Jism 2.etc come to your mind. Hate Story when released in 2012 was a shocker as it had very bold scenes compared to most Bollywood films, setting a new trend Its sequel isn't that steamy, just a few hot scenes The film is narrated in a reverse mode as is the trend lately, then goes into flashback It is mostly predictable though there are some good scenes though the twists are foreseeable mostly. There are flaws like the song Pink Lips is forced in, Also the transformation of the heroine isn't that convincing and too sudden unlike say Khoon Bhari MaangDirection is good Music is decent, though the reprise of Aaj Phir Tumpe(Dayavan) isn't up to the mark The locales of Goa,Mumbai are a treatSushant Singh makes a terrific comeback and is superb, Surveen Chawla seen in small roles in films and daily soaps is decent, though has scope for improvement,Jay Bhanushali makes an okay debut in a small role Siddharth Kher looks more like a model and is decent, Rajesh Khera has a brief role and is okay,rest are okay

Great Work By All Actors Especially Surveen Chawla Sushant Singh And Jay Bhanushali.I would like to suggest you go for this movie this is very very entertaining and awesome Movie and you will definitely like this...

saadforever890 Well, its totally no connection prequel wasn't a great film either, but frankly it had its moments, while this film has nothing going for itself except a couple of performances & music! The plot is predictable from the word go, & serious standing ovation to the writers!! They made sure the actors had unintentionally the funniest lines in the most intense sequences. The direction is fine, but with the such predictable plot, the over toned violence could have been easily cut down. The only saving graces of this film is the soothing music & the exceptional performances from Sushant Singh & Surveen Chawla. Jay Bhanushali is likable but has a very minor role, no idea why he signed up for this as his big screen debut. Overall Hate Story 2 is a shaky mess of a film riding heavily on its exceptional performances & popular music.
