Horny men who are jilted at the bedroom door seem to be the flavour of the season. When dealt with correctly, you get a delicious film like Pink. When not, you get the bland Beiimaan Love.
Here, Raj Malhotra (Rajneesh Duggal) spots Sunaina (Sunny Leone) at a party, leaps at her like a drooling cartoon wolf, and starts kissing her neck without consent and/or warning. Obviously, she slaps him across the face, thus initiating a series of bets, crosses, double crosses and affairs between employees and bosses.
He tricks her into bed, she gets her heart broken, plots revenge, destroys his business, it's all pretty standard Hindi-movie stuff. Abbas Mustan would have made a great thriller out of it in the '90s.
But it is not the '90s. We deserve better tropes than the hero heroically rescuing the heroine’s purse from goons, Who-blinks-first games on dates, effeminate men as prop-characters, “oriental” background music when Chinese characters are on screen and a mother with a melodramatic secret. All that was missing was a laugh track in the background.
The characters are inconsistent, the lines are handpicked from a Dialogue For Dummies guide and there’s a general lack of attention to detail. Props from one scene show up everywhere; the same location is used as different places, and the film opens with a promotional song (!) which plays by itself without titles. Are we watching a movie, or a music channel?
