LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2

LSD 2:-Love, sex aur dhokha 2 is a conedy crime drama romance film directed by dibakar banerjee.

This seems to be the weakest film of banerjee's filmography. The actors have done a pretty good job, considering some were just debuting. But the problem lies in the inconsistent screenplay. The screenplay is just too flippant for my liking, too much experimental for even my liking. It gets slow and fast according to its whims, slow sometimes to the point of boring. I like the cinematography, the shots are composed of all types of video forms, starting from CCTV footage style, to laptop screens, to live camera streams. Its brilliant, but the writing seemed off to me. The last two segments, specially the third was very good. But the first one seemed way too haphazard, the critique on reality show scam is okay but the way it is told is too "matter of fact" manner. The subtext of the second story is the most I resonated with. It deals with the gay community and how apparently "they need to be saved." The music is great, by sneha khanwalkar.

Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2 attempts to capture the essence of modern-day struggles through three interconnected narratives set in the age of social media. However, despite its unique premise, the film miserably failed to deliver an engaging storyline, resulting in a tedious and disappointing viewing experience. LSD 2 isn't a film, it's a joke. It's so bad that no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to sit through the whole thing.

Divided into three segments - Love (Like), Sex (Share), and Dhokha (Download) - the film follows the lives of individuals grappling with validation and identity in the digital era. From the story of Noor, a transwoman navigating the pitfalls of reality TV, to Kulu, a transgender sex worker striving for acceptance, and a YouTuber obsessed with subscriber counts, the film explores varied themes but fails to weave them into a cohesive narrative.

LSD 2 is an exhausting watch, with all three segments failing to sustain interest or engagement. Director Dibakar Banerjee's vision feels weak, unable to effectively translate the potential of the premise onto the screen. Despite the efforts of the cast, the film's terrible execution falls flat. The screenplay is convoluted, leaving viewers bewildered and struggling to follow the disjointed plotlines.

Direction 1/5 Acting 1.5/5 Editing 0.5/5 Story 1.5/5 Screenplay 0.5/5.

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.

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.

Why, oh why? Why are these types of movies even made? What has the world done to deserve such horrific films? I dare anyone to watch 15 minutes of this movie-you'll be pulling your hair out.

What is this? It's nothing but nonsense, certainly not a movie. Plotless, storyless, and meaningless, with utterly ridiculous acting. I sincerely hope no one was actually paid for this.

This is the kind of movie that should be completely eradicated from all movie databases. This is not cinema; it's certainly not a movie. Dibakar Banerjee, apart from his one film "Lucky Oye," consistently produces top-notch ridiculousness, and this one tops them all.

Save yourself.
