If you are thinking about this movie as a typical Bollywood masala movie that will have some hot spicy scenes than get read for the betrayal because Love Sex aur Dhoka is one iconoclastic movie that is far more different than what you have ever seen in the history of Indian film industry. After hits like Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Dibakar Bannerjee has experimented once again giving us a very dark, bold and powerful movie that has the potential of disturbing you for days if you are a weak heart emotional person.
The story has three different sub plots that are connected to each other in some way. Each sub plot stands for one word of the movie title and therefore the first sub plot is about Love. In this plot we see Rahul(Anshuman Jha) who is directing his film but falls in love with the heroine of the film Shruti. Due to family pressures they elope and get married but they are totally unaware of what is coming next. The second sub plot is about Sex and in this sub plot we see Adarsh(Raj Kumar Yadav) who is a manager of a general store which has secret CCTV cameras and he is brainwashed that he needs to woo the store sales girl Rashmi(Neha Chauhan) and have sexual act with her on the security camera. The third plot is about betrayal(Dhoka) where a journalist name Prabhat(Amit Sial) rescues Mrignaina(Arya Devdutta) from a suicide attempt and prepares her for a sting operation against a top pop star Loki Local(Henry Tangri).
Although, the plots sound very common and very boring the way they are filmed is something that you should watch out for yourself. All three sub plots starts with a satirical comment but they have a very bold and dark end. Some scenes in the movie are too shocking to watch on big screen and that can hit your mind to a lot of extent. If we talk about the performances, we already know that there are no established actors in the movie and that was a real good move by Dibakar Bannerjee because that would have worked against the script. The young actors really have the potential to portray the characters they are offered and within minutes you are sucked into the situation. The screenplay by Dibakar Bannerjee and Kanu Behl is simple mind blowing because it keeps you glued to your seats. The editing by Namrata Rao is good and music by Sneha Khanwalkar is very innovative and in pace with the mood of the story. However, it is the superb cinematography by Nikos Andritsakis that is the hero of the movie and keeps you thinking of what will happen next. If you looking for a typical masala movie than it is advisable to keep away from the movie because the concept of this movie is too realistic and far away from entertainment.
