A good film which brings out the real issues in the real world. It incorporates situations that occur in every day life, which can affect a persons reputation and character in a negative way.
personally I have heard and witnessed several mobile phone video clips which are personal to the individual exploited and published without the consent of the people in the video or who made it.
People who run these porn sites should not be doing these kind of things and this film shows, how greatly it can affects a persons life......even to the extent of committing suicide or even taking an oath of vengeance.
Overall, a good film which people in the real world and this generation can relate to. i.e. modern technology is getting more advanced as we speak. Cameras can be hidden in any everyday devices.
Beaware people.

dear movie lovers. before i write something about this film, i have to say: i hope that this is not a remake of some other American movie, i have'not seen. it would be a shame because of it's freshness.
OK let's talk about this film. the story is about " human-trafficking" a very delicate subject especially in Asia. you have to approach a story with such a heavy subject in a subtle way.
the story is actually divided in three chapters. the first and the last are simply amazing. chapter 2 lacks the subtle way a little.
but why complain , this is a heavy duty subject, packed in a exceptional- entertaining way without getting ridiculous, with a brand new actor who can be measured with the likes of keanu reeves or Orlando bloom. And one of the finest villains i have seen in along time.
its fresh its modern see this one

A newly wedded couple caught on camera during their honeymoon in a hotel. Their porn videos are released on the net... The girl commits suicide and the guy wants revenge on the people... A movie that deals with Pornography, which according to its promoters is a 1.56 billion dollar. Exceptionally brilliant music--- Jal's Aadat and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's Jiya Dhadak Dhadak. All seemed so well and perfect that anybody, just like me, would get motivated to watch with this movie which deals with the pornography industry. So one fine Saturday, I get the DVD, play it and guess what??? BANG! The movie's a complete disaster! Its not like the movie's that bad as I felt about it but its just that the writer (Mahesh Bhatt) and the director (Mohit Suri) needed to do a lot more homework than what they actually did while making this movie. This movie could have been great had the script not have so many loops and holes in it.
I mean picture this- A guy who is so poor that he works in a gym as a trainer and gets such a low salary that he lives in a one-room flat. After getting married to the girl he falls in love with (whose entry itself is very stupid), he cannot to afford to spend one night in a hotel and his friend actually pays for his stay with his wife for their honeymoon but bang bang! When the guy gets trapped in the porn controversy and is labelled a porn star, he has enough cash to get himself a lawyer and guess what? He can go to Switzerland (Mr. Director, care to explain how?_ on his own expense and after reaching there he hires a guy Ali (Emraan Hashmi) who's a pimp (yes, he has enough cash to hire the guy).
Other than that, Deepal Shaw is another pain and it only feels great to see she's not getting any more work. Her story of how she became a porn star is funny as hell! Ashutosh Rana is completely wasted and so are the beautiful numbers, Aadat and Jiya Dhadhak Dhadhak and for die hard Jal fans (like me) it was way too irritating to see Mr. Bhatt waste another good track in a shady film.
Other than that, Amrita Singh carries the film entirely on her shoulders with a lot of help from the music. Kunal Khemu is a good actor but for some reason, just doesn't have that much needed charm which is needed in a leading man.
Mohit Suri's sister is there because she's Mohit Suri's sister even if she does look like a man who needs to shave! Wonder why they took her! Emraan's character was forcefully pushed into the script (just like Shahrukh's was in Shakti) and it very much shows on screen. However, its Emraan whose entry adds that zing to the movie and makes it watchable till the end. Had they worked harder on the script before getting the movie rolling and had they chosen someone else to play Kunal Darr's character, this movie could have made it to the list of some of the greatest movies produced by the Bhatt camp. A great plot badly written with mixed performances and great music end up making an overall average movie which you wouldn't regret nor cherish watching.

Well this is 1 hell of a ride. Love the dark cinematography, Gothic setting n style of sin city...Amazing backdrop of Switzerland, could have added more scenes there though, since the film was so short, barely 2 hrs.
Minuses include the money logic of how Kunal landed with that much money to do all he did. And of course, this film follows the commercial bollywood route of a masala potbolier with few distinct villains to fight when pornography as a whole has many many operatives.
So its basically a fictional account of a site called indiapassion.com and its widespread.
Good entertainment, thought-provoking and more films like this should be made to create awareness and reach out to the public via its commercial elements. The kissing scenes of the first night scene could have been avoided though.

A movie worth watching. Unlike typical Hindi movies, this one is based on the most rising crime in contemporary India ... crime of shooting pornography films of oblivious married couples and circulating them illegally. This movie is fast paced and goes directly to its point. It revolves around aspects that is the most important for the audience to know. Aspects such as, what kind of people are involved in the business, what makes it successful, the reasons for such video production, success and so forth. An educational movie, I would say. Besides, it is a decent entertaining movie as well. The series of events and its strong bond to reality makes it worth watching. I mention its bond with reality because most of us refuse to face certain facts of our life and live on with it. This movie definitely highlights the life of a person who lived a life most of us do and the emphasizes on how he fought for reality and tried to make his life worth living even after all the difficulties he goes through. Well directed, inspirational, educational and entertaining. A must watch!
