The inherent appeal of an erotic thriller is in the fact that it's bold and sensational and is designed with the intention of titillating the audience and taking them to a dangerous world of fantasy and desires. Since years Hollywood is making big money through erotic thrillers, Fatal Attraction (1987) Basic Instinct (1992), 
Cruel  Intentions (1999),  Unfaithful (2002) etc. 
So basically this genre is not about script or screenplay. It's about the scenes which come to your mind when you recall the film. Basic Instinct is synonymous with the famous interrogation scene where Sharon Stone uncrosses and crosses her legs.

This urban erotica starts and ends with this line~
'Roses are red, violets are blue..sex can be dangerous, but love can be too.'
Patralekha plays the role of a scheming nymphomaniac who is addicted to winning, cocaine and love games. She plays the femme fatale who is out to seduce all and sundry, provided they are rich enough to attend Page 3 parties. She seems comfortable in all the scenes and snorts cocaine like a pro. What she lacks in the dialogue delivery department she makes up with her glamour and body language.
Gaurav Arora is a ramp model who is making his debut with this film. He is the rich guy who is Patralekha's partner in crime in every way. He has a great body and manages to give a decent performance. 
Tara Alisha Berry looks cute and pretty but has few scenes to show her acting capabilities.

A month back before the you tube trailer release, Mahesh Bhatt  tweeted, 'Catch your breath for a second and look what is about to hit you!' The film has certain scenes which have shock value but they end before the audience can get any real voyeuristic pleasure.

Following the current trend, Vikram Bhatt promoted the film a lot on Twitter even saying that it's inspired from his life story. He created a hashtag for it #LoveGamesGyaan. In fact some of the gyaan given by him on Twitter is wittier than some scenes in the film. 
1. Roses are red, violets are blue, you might think it's love, but it's lust using you.
2. Roses are red, violets are blue, if she says sex was 'different', dude you have a lot of work to do!
3. Roses are red, violets are blue, behind every gorgeous woman, there is a bored man too!
4. Roses are red, violets are blue, if you screw trouble, trouble will screw you.
5. Roses are red, violets are blue, there is always a kinky fantasy, she is hiding from you.
6. Roses are red, violets are blue, when you find the angel, the bitch will follow too.
7. Roses are red, violets are blue, doing her and thinking of him, you've some coming out to do!
8. Roses are red, violets are blue, if she says she's 'tied up', it could mean literally too.
9. Roses are red, violets are blue, you'll rarely have the hots, on who has the hots for you!
10. Roses are red, violets are blue, if she's cheating on him, she'll cheat on you!

Reportedly, the Censor Board had a problem with the many cuss words, long kissing scenes and a few drug-addiction scenes and therefore had asked for 18 cuts but finally approved the film with an Adults only certificate.

Music by the duo Sangeet- Siddhart is melodious and almost all the songs have repeat value. There are seven English songs used as background tracks, the lyrics of which are penned by none other than Vikram Bhatt. 
The film earned just 1 crore on Friday which is dismal considering the publicity on social networking sites and TV promos. The film may barely manage to recover it's budget.
In a line it's surely not one of the best erotic thrillers one may come across but if you like this genre you will not be bored.
Time-pass.
