LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2

LSD one is a classic. Editing goes unnoticed (Namrata Rao received Best Editor for the same), cinematography was on point and above all the story was the best.

It's hard but LSD 2 doesn't stand up to the mark of the original. It involves LGBT+ life on social media where numbers matter. It tries to highlight the Love, Sex and Dhoka in their life. But it only disappoints. You're only left to scratching your head why you would watch it in a theatre when it is loosely edited and obviously without the story.

Characters come and go. No one leaves a mark. Maybe Dibakar Banerjee has some frustration of the previous film that has yet not released and he has been forced been to make a sequel of his classic.

Disappointed for the first time seeing master craftsmen DB. (Hopefully it will be first and last time & he keeps on to entertain us in the coming time.)

What a letdown! This movie is a complete waste of time. The director seems confused, and it shows in this low-quality film. The story doesn't make much sense, leaving you scratching your head. The characters are boring and don't change much. It feels like the director didn't try very hard. Don't bother watching this mess! From the awkward pacing to the lackluster dialogue, every aspect of this film falls flat. Save your time and money for something worth watching. The cinematography lacks creativity, and the soundtrack feels out of place, further contributing to the overall disappointment. It's evident that this movie lacks the heart and soul needed to resonate with its audience. You'll find yourself constantly checking your watch, counting down the minutes until it's finally over.

Its not about the issues the movie is trying to bring up but sheer cliche coupled with lazy direction. The screenplay is all over the place and you fail to bind up genuine connection with the character.

The movie is all over the place with no sense of why the scene is put up at the first place.

And ending what was that , I mean please director/ writer you should plan to change jobs.

This is not a movie review but my angst and pain of wasting my time and kicking my self how badly some good issues could have been executed.

And to top that you have video songs that will kill you to death. Refrain guys from watching this.

There was SO much potential for a black mirror-esque Bollywood edition style movie that could have been a new era of tech inspired movies for the new generation . But NO. They made this weird af movie with stories that are meant to "shock" and "get you thinking" , but all it did was irritate me more with every passing moment . The actors honestly did a good job with the weird source material they had been given and I can't fault them at all , but it's the source material itself that I don't understand. A reality show with a fame obsessed trans woman , an abused trans woman, who's taken advantage of by a big corp and a social media influencer who's bullied online - absurdly loose connections between all the stories, with no real conclusion leave the viewer wondering why they watched this at all.

This is one weird and different movie. It is a parody on lot of things - reality shows, influencers, metaverse and lots more. The acting is top notch and it feels like a live camera recording most of the time. This movie is a bit difficult to watch because of the high level of cringe but it is so different, so weird and so futuristic. It also reveals the dark side of the internet age and almost gives a precursor on how much darker it can get. Overall if you like watching different and out of the box content then go for LSD2. If you prefer watching content in your comfort genre then this is probably not for you.
