The only person with any acting cred is Ninad Kamat in this Sunny Leone starrer
kumarvarun198910 October 2016
A hot-shot event manager has a one night stand with a beautiful stranger. No spoilers there, because the plot point is inherent in the film's title: can't get more explicatory than that, can it? It's when the roll in the hay is done and dusted, and both parties return to terra ferma, that this film starts getting a little interesting. Both Urvil (Tanuj Virwani) and the woman who calls herself Celina (Sunny Leone) realise that a little bit of unthinking lust can cause, um, complications.

That he, self-confessed Casanova who is always adding another notch on his well-shucked belt, can't get her out of his head, and she, mysterious lady of the night, can't be bothered, is the cool curve the film throws out. But it is unable to build on it, remaining yet another stab at a 'desi' 'Fatal Attraction, saddled with an inept plot and shallow acts.Why should boys have all the fun, why can't girls too? Why not indeed? Good question, and amply answered by all the heavings and writhings, but, and this is the thing, they are surprisingly tame. Ms Leone's vaunted past as an adult entertainer, the sole reason why you presume this film has been made, have been successfully and sadly tamped by Bollywood. Where's the heat?Sunny Leone is picture perfect, managing a couple of felt expressions in only a few scenes. Even her bump and grind is same old: this 'duniya' is still 'pittal di' ; where's the gold? She will need to seriously up her act overall, and delivering dialogue is part of it, to be able to call herself an actress. Right now, she is gorgeous to look at, but we know that already, and struggling to emote, which has been her bugbear in her last few outings as well. The only person with any acting cred here is Ninad Kamat, who lifts the film whenever he is on.

For a film which wants to strike a blow for feminism and sexual freedom, there are some troubling misogynistic touches about 'hot' secretaries, and 'stay-at-home' wives. Careful, your slip is showing.

Not Recommended
sanyamk9 May 2016
If you have given a thought to watch this movie, I bet it would be all because of Sunny and the title. But believe me , the movie is a total crap. Doesn't have a plot, neither good direction, awful acting combined with the typical sensual scenes from Bollywood and an item song. And after all the one and a half hour of hard work you do by sitting patiently waiting for that twist to come in and grab your attention, all you get is a bundle of disappointment and a punch from you subconscious for wasting your or your parent's hard-earned bucks on this. Hard on expectations, If looked deeply it has a good message and triesto convey a serious issue on the run in our country but is hardly able to do it. P.S. -This is one of the worst movies I have watched.

Nothing movie
rajmannar-0823014 July 2016
Why the hell was this movie made? Why the hell did i bother to even watch it (even though i had the comfort of FFwding thru it). Some questions in life have no answer. This is one of them. Like the title, the only action which takes is place is in the one night stand, which basically seems like a condom ad. And after that movie meanders on horribly. Will it go the Basic instinct way? no. Will it go the stalker way? hmm, no. basically nothing happens. and the ending also is tame. Sunny Leone is hopeless. Rest of the cast don't make any impact either. Technically it's nothing. No songs. This must be one of the few Nothing movies. Simply nothing stands out. Just a waste of time. Don't bother, unless you want to get some sleep.

With this Hindi movie, now I understand why France doesn't screen Hindi movies (web)
leplatypus28 October 2017
Here in France the official propaganda is that we are a world leader, the best education, health system, that we know and do everything thus at the end that we should be thankful to our elite for living in a country on the cutting edge! Our exterior foreign views are for our old allies (and sometimes enemies) Britain and America and all the others country are small, irrelevant, old colonies and under developed! And so, movies we saw on TV or at screen are French, American and sometimes English: it's like the world is really how it appears in them and every body is happy…

Except that, if the curious citizen picks a Bollywood movie, he is amazingly stunned: it's India and Asia that are on the cutting edge and West looks old and decadent! In this movie, clothes, car, homes and places shines and are in style; Sure India looks conservative and prude for our western standard (this cheating movie is labeled adults only!) but maybe it's not a bad thing as every one looks more serious, clean and responsible. The movie lacks a bit of a nervous editing but it is well done: if the title is one night stand, we could add love-struck as well so we have the both feeling of the cheaters… Sure this plot has been done and undone but compare this one with the poor western look alike (american Dilemn or french Infidèles) and there is no difficulty to see its qualities! Sunny does a good job as the lost wife and her partner is convincing in his passionate spiral... So this is an excellent movie about a universal thematic and the production embarrasses our old western movies. The only disappointment is the ending credits that are totally irrelevant and aggressive for a movie that wasn't!

Satisfactory movie with good story.
anshusinha-893546 September 2019
Okay, so i watched it only for our favourite star Sunny Leone and guess what she did her job very well.. yes her dialogue deliveries, expressions and body language turns out to be nice and elegant.

There were little bad screentimes but still climax ends to be pretty well. You won't get that much of disappointed, so don't keep mucj expectations but a good heart. Songs are great.

this is not so bad...
fluffset14 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Finally, Sunny Leone got some decent movie for her, which is not just to only showcase her beauty, but to tell some story as well. I understand why her movie got such a low rating, because all of her movie before this is "bad", even though Indian have million of loyal Bollywood follower, they crave for a good movie, when movie like "3 Idiot" (2009), "P.K" (2014) & "Dangal"(2016) come out (I'm Aamir Khan fan!) they like them so much they even gave them a really high rating, 8.0 to 9.0 without any hesitation. I know its not fair to compare 1 Night Stand with those blockbuster, but it shows that Indian don't really care about Sunny Leone, they just want to see a good movie. Sunny Leone is the main attraction for this movie, too bad, all her previous movie left some bad impression to the audiences so they don't really want to watch her anymore. This movie, for me is quite interesting, it have some twist that's quite unexpected. Even though its cliché its not so predictable. It have some interesting moment, especially the part when Urvil is in his car with his wife, who expect that? One thing this movie lack is it have no big moment, the climax is good, but it just keep slowing down in the end, totally waste its climax buildup. Nothing "big" happen for us to hold our breath or something. That's why I called it decent. I give it 7 cuz' I like it a bit, the best movie from Sunny Leone so far.

Low rating would be unethical for a brilliant try
dr_hgj-482316 July 2019
Nice scenes Thai Vacations... a couple in a casual meeting and + followups find them in un parallel coherence and liking of each other's test and classy dream find... but after vacation is over...boy is left with hangovers ... accidentally same town scenario is selected and the trouble starts as both of them are tangled to some one else before.... There is a typical Indian Settled Housewife attitude emerging in S leone character ... The attraction is un forgettable so boy goes for various tries !!! She prefers a housewife original role but with a strong NO to the boy..... This Strong NO ...It was good but just forget it... its memories only.... contented and happier all will be ... this way... If story would have this much far its still OK film but director goes down with Credit of doing all this with DIGNITY.. even if costs her settlement she is ready to let go it... the Honest Turn given gives somehow released feeling to the audience and for S. Leone character sympathy wave generated

Poor ending
Abdulxoxo19 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Jasmine Moses-D'Souza's direction is good as she is able to handle the film smoothly for the most part. The first half is all romantic and we get to more about the characters. The main issue with the film is the second half, it drags and seems to lack direction. Urvil is obsessed with "Celina" that is clear, even though it's quite far-fetched for a guy who has everything; beautiful loving wife, a great job, good friends and all, he has everything a man could dream of at that age, but he still wants to sabotage that. The film also fails to set up a good conflict, he starts stalking Celina only because she accused him of doing it? And that could have been great, but the whole stalking thing lacks thrills. Had the film added a few thrill elements while addressing the stalking scenes, it definitely would have worked in the film's favour and would have taken the film to a whole different level. The ending is extremely underwhelming and uneventful. The resolution of the conflict i's too easy. She's going to tell her husband that's it? Credits roll? It was expecting a fight or something in the desert scene.

Performances are good in some parts, Tanuj Virwani owns the role in the lead, he's good though not great as he struggles in some parts. Sunny Leone? she's Ok tho she's having a hard time when it comes to delivering lines. Nyra Banerjee as Urvil's wife is actually the better performer in the cast, she's quite natural. The rest of cast are ok. The film is visually stunning thanks to the slick cinematography. The background score complements the movie amazingly well.

All in all, One Night Stand has an interesting plot and concept, but fails to expand it into an engaging narrative.

Reasonable Time Pass Movie
sajjadhussain-4338716 August 2017
Overall Acting, Direction, Songs and Locations are good. The story is weak, lacks sense, appeal, flow and message agreement.

I would recommend seeing the movie for just time pass when do not want to eat, dine, travel or socialize. Means Good movie but not very Good Movie.

None see the moral in the movie here except ...a few
greekdx30 September 2022
This can be a typical Hollywood movie but Bollywood added some interesting twist ina addition of nice places of India.

The story is rather simple as its total duration of just 90 minutes as like a typical American romcom . In short you can see - Urvil - a man dating with a girl - Celina - in a far place and live for a short time till both -separately? - return home. Both are married As time passes he feels oore and more obsessed with her into a heart breaking story. IS it a romcom? Sorry but it is not !

Still a typical story you can think but still is it not. The story is much more with 'shocking twists' after neat the half of the movie when coincidences start to effect the movie that end into a very impressive moral and end . Shocking Music or sound is also help a non Indian as I to understand better what happens tough I think it is a bit pompous. Also many flashbacks as narrated by Urvil show his ever increased obsession that drive him mad. I think that it is better to watch the movie to understand what I mean.

Music is very nice and comes as a good interval after shocking scenes. Plot as shown is quite enough and possibly does not require any more polish

Sunny is good and acts just well. Tanuj is rather overacting in this role. Although is the star I think that Nyra -Urvil's wife -is more impressive or beautiful.
