It’s really true that too many well – known cooks ultimately spoil the broth. In further spoiling the illogical recipe of Hate Story 3, the main chefs (Read the entire team barring the editor & the composers) are producers Bhushan Kumar & Vikram Bhatt, who is also the story writer), director Vishal Pandya in tandem with the rooster of actors (Zarine Khan, Karan Singh Grover, Daisy Shah, Priyanshu Chatterjee et al (barring Sharman Joshi).
The loosely scripted scenario of Hate Story 3 kicks starts with Aditya Diwan (Sharman Joshi) who happens to be a Mumbai-based millionaire having his fingers dipped in many pies. He controls a cola company and owns hotels across the globe and decides to open a super – specialty clinic in tribute to his deceased brother (Priyanshu Chatterjee). He is also married to his brother’s ex girlfriend Siya (Zarine Khan). Just when it looks like he has everything going for him, his whole life turns upside down. As business tycoon Saurabh Singhania (Karan Singh Grover), who likes to stand at the edge of skyscrapers, makes Aditya an ‘indecent proposal’ which involves Siya, immediately triggering a war between the 2 of them. The attacks, counter attacks and many, many bathing scenes forms the rest of the story.
Director Vishal Pandya’s directorial treatment in Hate Story 3, a sequel to Hate Story 2 and a heady cocktailed concoction of several Hollywood flicks, leaves much to be desired. Even otherwise he hardly had anything to do. As the composers, the choreographer, the actors did all the work (by dancing & bathing the moment they get a chance) and then the editor putting everything together in a racy & presentably watchable form.
Performance wise the entire credit goes only to Sharman Joshi who succeeds in delivering the goods amidst the entire confusion confounding situation. The 2 heroines Zarine Khan & Daisy Shah are the best bathing show pieces that Bollywood must have ever seen. And what can one say about 2 of the most stiff & wooden albeit zombie oriented act of Karan Singh Grover, he was good only in the one minute long shot on the hospital bed, & Priyanshu Chatterjee.
Tail Piece: The serialized sequels of Hate Story’s will continue emerging from the House of T – Series. Don’t bother just avoid it and if at all you are tempted to watch just have fun and don’t take it seriously.
