Sunny Leone is one of the most searched Bollywood celebrity on the internet for obvious reasons. This film was also promoted as an erotic thriller with hot posters of Sunny Leone along with quotes to justify one night stands. The story is actually about how the life of a man changes after he starts thinking about a female with whom he had a one night stand. 

Sunny Leone has acted naturally in erotic scenes and item numbers but when she has to give other expressions she totally fails to deliver. Even her dialogue delivery leaves much scope for improvement. 
Tanuj Virwani has worked hard on his body and physique which shows every time he takes off his shirt. Despite what the promos say, he is the one who has exposed the most in the film. In scenes where he has to sulk, with his unkempt hair he looks like a thinner version of Arjun Kapoor. He has given a decent performance but with three straight flops in a row, he has to choose films with better content, if he wants to make a place for himself in the industry.
Nyra Banerjee, who has worked in three Kannada films, makes her Bollywood debut with this film. Though her role is as significant as the other two actors, she was not a part of any posters or promotional events. In the film there is a romantic number 'Ijazat' picturised on her and Tanuj but in promos even that song has clippings of Sunny Leone. She has worn skimpy clothes and looks attractive but in comparison to Sunny, she's like a candle in the wind.
There are two item songs, 'Ishq da Sutta' and 'Do peg maar aur bhool ja', where Sunny Leone gets ample opportunity to titillate the audience in bare minimum costumes.
The main problem of the film lies in it's story and screenplay. The film starts on the beautiful beaches of Phuket with flowing champagne and everyone content on having a good time. After interval all the characters appear to be hit by some tragedy and the total environment becomes tensed and gloomy.
Then randomly with just few dialogues the film ends without giving any insight on what happened to the characters. There is no continuity in the scenes and it looks like several scenes were randomly shot and then added together to increase the film's length.The writer, Bhavani Iyer has co-written screenplays of critically acclaimed films like Black (2005), Guzaarish (2010) and Lootera(2013) and maybe she wanted to write a film for Sunny where she can do more than just show her skin.
The release of the film was postponed many times but guess releasing it along with 'Captain America 3 -Civil War', was not a wise decision.The film collected less than 3 Crores over the weekend and may not even recover it's budget.
In a line, in an attempt to present the audience a cocktail of sleaze and substance, the makers couldn't do justice to either.
Avoidable. Highlights of the film can be seen in the song 'Le Chala' on You Tube which got more than 2 million views within a week of it's release.
