Most franchises, if they deserve to be turned into a franchise in the first place, usually outlive their welcome by the second film. Not that you can convince filmmakers and producers of it. Hate Story 4 very clearly falls in this category. Everything from the sets and characters to the scenes and costumes look recycled.
Not a pleasant feeling if you are the audience.
Hate Story 4, starring Urvashi Rautela, Vivan Bhathena and Karan Wahi, is about two brothers who fall for the same ambitious woman, who seduces them with plenty of skin show and seriously weird costumes - #MeToo be damned. Not to mention promises of deep dark secrets, murder, a veritable menu of fancy lingerie and meaningful one-liners (Laashein rishwat nahi leti...).

Directed by Vishal Pandya, the film is set to release on 9 March.
