Valentine's Night is what you call a perfect anti-date film. It is the ideal film you show to your love if you are desperately seeking a break-off. Pretending hard to be young and hep at heart, this heartless film has a bunch of wannabe actors who are more appalling than moral policing on Valentines Day.
A voiceover that sounds like a planetarium commentator introduces the lead characters on Facebook facade. The film is about five random individuals who are known to each other only through their social networking accounts. They decide to meet on a Valentine's Night. Coincidentally all of them have broken-up with their respective partners some hours ago.
On their very first encounter, they get pally enough to book a stretch BMW and roam aimlessly on Delhi streets. With no substance in the plot, the film resorts to substance abuse and bears a heavy Shaitan hangover. Further their garish gaadi is hijacked and a murder happens for which the five are implicated.
The film never works as a murder mystery for the killing happens only in the last few minutes and the suspense is too short-lived. Neither does it work as a moral drama because it's a poorly written, defectively directed and atrociously enacted product. There's a parallel track where a guy is held hostage by an underworld gang and by the end the mobster has a change of heart and decides to build a hospital instead. The viewer remains indifferent to his life-changing decision though.
