Love Games

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.

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.

When you have only compulsion and opportunity to make a film rather than a script at least. Result has to be like this. Director Mr. Vikram Bhatt is writer of this irritating game so he has to be fully blamed of this waste of time of audience. Only starting few minutes of many films give you idea that how it is going to be. Film opens with a body crashing on a car. His younger and good looking wife is mourning in front of Police then locks herself in bedroom and her cry converts into laughter. This opening scene is so stale. This first bite gives you the bitter taste about the rest meal. Film is full of irritating melo drama with topping of bad performances. Screenplay has everything except mind. Dialogues are good at places. One can sneak into bedroom of a high profile person house and even with opening door with keys!? A girl is sleeping so soundly even after being brutally beaten, as screenplay says but doesn't look like, that sneaking person make love on carpet while she is sleeping!? Police comes in starting to investigate for the first death but then vanishes in nowhere or writer had just forget or didn't think it worth to take ahead!? A person takes another person body so easily from a high profile Hospital like cake walk!? Buried in graveyard and after something comes in front of you in climax, which is just ridiculously kiddies. Just tossing a medical drug is enough to justify all this as makers think. Climax and pre climax is so haphazard. Performance wise Patralekha as Ramona is good at places. Main lead Gaurav Arora as Sam has some unusual looks but he is almost blank and unbearable in emotional scenes. He has weird walks. Tara Alisha Berry is dumb doll.

Director Vikram Bhatt has done some good and quality movie in his career but this movie he didn't give us anything new. Mr. Vikram has been trying to introduce new faces and I appreciate that but these new actor and actresses need minimum standard dude! You can't take a good looking girl and cast her into cinema without any acting skill!!! This is not good for your cinema and your directional career also. By the way, I want to review the movie part by part. Direction: OK but could have been better. Acting: Rubbish. Just like the lead cast memorize the dialogue and delivered them on the time when the director said "action". No face expression, dialogue delivery is horrible, no acting skills. Music: the background score come to a surprise and it was good. Songs are not up to the mark. Screenplay: OK but could have been better. The Story was typical but a good screenplay can make a movie good. This screenplay needed some polish and some more details. Story: I already said , nothing new. but some vulgarity and ending twist may be will make you satisfied a little. Editing: There is nothing to edit. What the editor should do in this movie? Eliminate the sex scene and kiss scene?? very poor!!! I just gave it 4 because of background score and the movie is a fast paced. These two qualities tried to save this movie but didn't.

Very intresting and the second half of the film is truely terrific
