The opening scenes promise an exciting and engrossing thriller, but sadly Bullets fails to impress and soon descends into a run-of-the-mill exercise. It is actually a full length feature film with songs that seems to have been divided into 6 episodes for OTT release as a series.
Sunny Leone plays Tina, a model, item girl and girlfriend of the home minister's son, Sunil. The opening scenes show that she is to perform at the opening of his night club but Sunil wants to sleep with her before that. She avoids him but after the show he tries to rape her. Karishma Tanna plays Lolo who is in the next room and hits Sunil on the head with a bottle in trying to save herself as he comes after her when she tries to stop him from raping Tina.
The deed done, both the girls have no option but to run away. Tina finds that both the police and the home minister's goons are after her and with nowhere to go, she lands up at Lolo's place. They decide to leave town together in order to save themselves. They take the help of a guy whom Lolo knows. A lot is then put on the plate with a sting video implicating the home minister in an arms deal pay-off. The girls act and behave as if they were trained for the mission of exposing the home minister. After a lot of unnecessary drama with a trip to Goa and then Malaysia thrown in for good measure, Tina and Lolo find out who are the culprits and they kill them. But some loose ends are never tied, making for a weak narrative.
Viveck Vaswani and Deepak Tijori are both wasted. Sunny Leone and Karishma Tanna look good and do what is expected of them, including dance and perform some steamy scenes. The rest of the cast, which includes a goon called 'helmet' as he always wears one, is there just to play out their parts. These bullets certainly miss their marks.
