Can't really stand it. Review on One Night Stand

Well, to tell you the truth there wasn’t much expectation when I heard Sunny Leone is starring in a movie. Although I understand that the movie is definitely going to be filled with some snazzy item songs and sizzling scenes(we all know that for sure). It is not something that I quite bargained for, at least after watching the trailers, was bit hopeful with the movie.

After entering Bollywood, there has been no looking back for Sunny Leone. Always an eye candy, she has tried a bit to come out of her comfort zone and try something new. The movie begins in flashback with Urvil(Tanuj Virwani) narrating events in his past that has defined his present. After successfully completing an event Urvil and his colleagues go out to celebrate, where he is challenged to talk to Celina(Sunny Leone) and he doesn’t mind because he has been eyeing her all night(can’t keep his hormones under check). Celina understands his moves and though being aware of what he thinks, she goes with the flow.

Long story short, they spend the night together(One Night Stand) and the next morning Celina vanishes from the room. Urvil returns to his abode in Pune and is welcomed by his wife Simran(Nyra Banerjee). Everything is forgotten but then, one fine day he sees Celina in the same mall where is shopping with his wife. Celina throws him a crinkly look and he wants to confront her. Thereafter begins his unending quest to hunt down Celina from the length and breadth of the world.

The screenplay and story by Bhavani Iyer seems to be a real culprit of the film. Movie has interesting concept and plot but Bhavani is not able to expand it into engaging narrative. There are scenes where Tanuj struggles to emote any expression and it can be seen on his face. Nyra is still better in acting her character out with baking macaroons and cupcakes; wearing a tee saying “Totally Sweet”. Leone is almost blank throughout the proceedings and with her wobbly Hindi it gets worse.

That is some waste of neurons, thinking that this may be it for Leone and especially Tanuj, as this is his third movie(came to know only after Googling). But it ends with the same skin-show tawdry and little acting. Songs have definitely help me be relieved.

All in all, the script is good but bares good execution. It has few things to look for but as a whole I may ask people to dodge this missile.
