3 voyeuristic tales of romance laced with love, sex, and dhokha(betrayal). The hand-held cameras and the hidden cameras used in the film give it a stylishly realistic touch that'll leave you shocked, entertained, and high.

Superhit Pyaar
A sweet cliché love story that'll make you laugh, smile, and will leave you deeply disturbed. This story will be etched in your mind even after you leave the theatre.

Paap Ki Dukaan
Hypocritical, Amoral, Emotional, Distressful. You just can't ignore the powerful performances by the male and the female protagonists in this vignette.

Badnaam Shohrat
A little less satisfying among the other tales, but still the sharp dialogues & gradually how the entire acid trip comes to an end is to watch out for.

Rating: 4/5
for the tight cinematography, direction, witty dialogues, screenplay, cast, and acting.

DU LEVANDE a.k.a YOU, THE LIVING

Year: 2007
Genre: Drama/Dark Comedy
Language: Swedish
Runtime: 1 hour 29 minutes

A bleak portrayal of different lives dealing with their helplessness, despair, loneliness, anger, fear, and dreams seasoned with some stark humor & march music. The camera is mostly static in every vignette presented in the film making it a somewhat tiresome watch. An unconventional & original film.

Rating: 3/5
for Anna's dream sequence and some of the other sketches.
