The movie has three sub-plots involving honour killings, MMS scandals, and sting operations, which have become recurring phenomena of TV news in India, reported on in a lurid language, accompanied by flashing headlines, and dramatic music which simultaneously sensationalises and trivialises the very serious issues involved: caste-ism in nouveau riche India, sexual privacy and blackmail by media.

It was shot entirely on DigiCam, being one of the first films coming out of India to be presented in the found footage style. Love Sex aur Dhokha received an A certificate by the Film Censor Board of India.
