Love Games

Or found for that matter. Actually I would be surprised if you should even call this a love (or dare I say erotic?) thriller anyway. There is not much of that to be found here anyway. And the one scene where you see someone in their underwear - it is to show off a wound. So not really something that is meant to excited .... well not normally ... anyway, moving on.

Something you should do - like without stopping to watch this. Yes there are a few twists and turns - some aren't even half bad. But the cliches thrown at you - leading to those twists? Well they will make you cringe big time! There are some moments where the movie understands what it is and almost makes fun of itself ... I cherish those moments - rare as they may have been.

Overall this is a waste of time though ... yes drugs are bad, I don't think we needed a disclaimer at the front of the movie to remind us. Then again what do I know, right? I'd say I know ... what's love got to do with it: nothing!

This film begins with a married woman by the name of "Ramona Raichand" (Patralekhaa Paul) being questioned by the police concerning her wealthy husband's recent death. Since there is no evidence linking her to his fall from his high-rise apartment the matter is deemed an accident and no charges are filed. The next scene involves a wealthy young man named "Sam Saxena" (Gaurav Arora) who-although he has everything a person could want-isn't happy and inflicts pain upon himself just to feel alive. Recognizing this Ramona proposes that the two of them engage in an activity called "love games" where they seek out a happily married couple at a party and bet on who can seduce one of them first. At first, Sam accepts the challenge with great zeal but that changes after awhile when one of he becomes attracted to one of his targets by the name of "Alisha Asthana" (Tara Alisha-Berry). As it so happens, her husband "Gaurov Asthana" (Hiten Tejwani) physically abuses her and seeing her in pain afterward awakens a sense of compassion within Sam that he has never experienced before. The problem is that Ramona has no intention of allowing Sam to abandon their games and is willing to do whatever it takes for them to continue. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I that I wasn't expecting that much from this film and was pleasantly surprised by the good acting coupled with an interesting plot. Admittedly, I didn't care that much for some of the songs and would have preferred a bit more eroticism here and there but all things considered I enjoyed this film and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

Having seen this film, I was left with mixed feelings. On the plus side, the film does manage to capture some intriguing visuals. The cinematography is sleek and stylish, which adds a certain flair to the otherwise standard narrative. The performances are competent, and there's a noticeable effort from the cast to bring their characters to life.

However, the film struggles with several issues. The plot is rather derivative, feeling like a rehash of familiar themes and tropes without adding much originality. It's predictable, with twists that can be spotted from a mile away, which makes the story less engaging.

Additionally, the film's attempt to delve into its themes often feels superficial and unconvincing. The character motivations and relationships lack depth, leading to an overall sense of emotional detachment. The storytelling is somewhat disjointed, making it hard to stay fully invested in the characters or their arcs.

In summary, while the film has some visual appeal and solid performances, it falters in terms of originality and depth. It's an okay watch if you're looking for something visually appealing, but don't expect a compelling or memorable narrative.

The movie title is matched what they made. Though you should watch it in your precious time but if you wana time pass, this one is good for you. Everything is so obvious but executed a different way which i like. Though, the girl who play Alisha role was so sweet and good in acting. Guy is not so good but no so bad too. Go and grab this. Though if you expecting showing sex scenes then please watch po&& rather this. This is not that if you thought. Directer tired to be smart but he is not so, things are obvious but executed in different way is appreciable. So At the end if you wish to just spare some time being boring then go and watch this movie.

Its easy to trash erotic thrillers, very easy especially if vikram bhatt happens to be involved. While this is no cinematic masterpiece and those expecting one need to get themselves examined, it was a fun DVD watch, i wasn't bored for a second. Very good performances all round and a good night in.
