    This is a cringe-fest from start to finish. Stay away. And wave bye bye to Sunny: when a film sinks this low, it's hard to climb back up again.

  2. Filmfare

    Film review ·

    As you'd expect from a Sunny Leone movie, Beiimaan Love has a lot of onscreen seduction and romance. But all the film's goodness is wasted on a script that's so trite and amateur that at times it gets laughable. This movie is strictly for die-hard Sunny Leone fans only.

  3. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    The characters are inconsistent, the lines are handpicked from a Dialogue For Dummies guide and there's a general lack of attention to detail.

    Skip it. Go watch anything else but Beiimaan Love over the weekend. I am giving one star solely for Sunny Leone and her improvement as an actress.

    Film review ·

    Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, they say. And when this woman turns out to be Sunny Leone, you wonder who in their right minds and eyes in their head would reject her romantic advances and why. The movie is horrendous but for the honest emoting by the heroine.

    Film review ·

    Beiimaan Love is a master-class in anger management. You sit through it and the world will be at your feet. I thought Great Grand Masti was the worst film this year. What a great competition it has in Beiimaan Love!

    Film review ·

    Beiimaan Love is one of the better films in the adult-thriller genre. Sunny Leone gives it her best shot and it is a welcome change to see the actress do more than just shed her clothes. Watch it if you are bored and have nothing much to do this weekend.

  8. Firstpost

    Film review ·

    As the last scene ends, the following phrase comes up on screen: 'Never take a woman for granted'. A noble sentiment, but in filmmaking one should not take the script, screenplay or craft for granted either.

    1/10

    This is more than a review; a direct strong request to whoever is interested in watching this drama to NOT consider it.<br /> <br /> A rich playboy (Rajneesh Duggal) is challenged by his brother to court a young businesswoman (Sunny Leone) and get her to sleep with him. Also starring Leone's real-life partner, Daniel Webber, the film is evidently made only to cash in on the lead actress' probable fame and sexual appeal. The film starts with an item song picturing a scantily-clad Leone, and from there, it's a downward spiral.<br /> <br /> With cringe-worthy dialogues and unimaginative interactions between the characters, the film dramatically screws up without any hope of resurrection.<br /> <br /> BOTTOM LINE: Akshit Golakiya's "Beiimaan Love" is a unsatisfactory film made only to satisfy the male gaze. Stay away, and skip for life.<br /> <br /> Can be watched with a typical Indian family? No.
