Lust Stories 2

The problem with these kind of movies lies with the lust they want to sell. Even without those scenes the story can work and believe me this time the stories are fine.

The first story must not be Rated A if it was not in this movie. The story contains nothing in the name of lust.

The second Story portray some kind of illegal behavior but still you don't sympathize with any of the characters.

The third story in which Tamannah and Vijay is there wants to surprise you but fails miserably. What you can predict was there in the end and you are left unsatisfied there.

The fourth story which is predictable also leaves you puzzled about the name of this movie.

Atleast try to justify the title of movie.

People who are saying this movie is worse than the last may not remember the first one probably. In first edition, there was 2 good segments, 1 mediocre segment and 1 terrible segment. This movie exactly has the same.

First story is too much spoon-feeding for audience. Similar to what R Balki generally keep on doing. Storyline is boring and gets irritating by the time it ends. They believed they could deliver like 'Badhai ho' but failed miserably.

Story 2 was mediocre but actingwise very much satisfied. Amrutha Subhash and Tillotama are masters. Direction from Koko di is perfect. No wonder.. it is in her genes.

Story 3 was straight out of Aeshop fables. And indeed there was a fairy. Tamannah is just drop 'dead' gorgeous (pun intended). But Vijay is getting stereotyped by doing same 'innocent face but evil intention' roles. Sad for him.

Story 4 was good but predictable. Kumud Mishra was best. Kajol just continued her role from 'Salaam Venky'. Nothing fancy to deliver considering her calibre.

Konkana segment-8.5 : layered/ great use of visuals and sound/ true to the theme Last segment -6/10 : Nothing unusual. Soapy melodramatic dialogues but the ending made sense to me.

Balki segment - 1.5/10 : preachy cliched and overacted. I legit sided with the trad parents on this one.

Sujoy Ghosh segment - 2/10 : adding cleavage and sex scenes does not make it a lust story. Not sure what the choice of shooting in a studio setting was meant to convey. Some ode to bollywood bcoz the protagonist was named Vijay Chauhan i guess. Not sure if his choices were dictated by greed or lust. Overall confused bit.

Lust Stories 2 is not a good sequel from part 1. There are 4 different stories directed by prominent directors of bollywood.

1. R Balki's story was good . Neena Gupta was the best in that part 2. Konkana Sen sharma directed story was the best out of the lot. Tilotama shone was perfect in the role.

3. Sujay gosh story was horror and didn't give much impact. Vijay verma's acting was good in that stor 4. This was directed by Amit Sharma dont know how Kajol was casted in this .

A below average story.

Overall it was like a Soft porn movie for 2 hours. Definitely not as great as Lust stories 1.

It's just a one time watch especially the 1st 2 stories.

Thoughts summed up: Lust Stories 2 is a subpar anthology that'll only be remembered for Konkona Sen Sharma's standout segment. The rest are largely forgettable, leaving little in the way of impact.

Made for Each Other (R Balki): An ad-level concept stretched and squeezed all the way but nothing really stands out here. Neena Gupta's granny role sounded interesting at first, but quickly gets preachy and intolerable after a point (rockstar, my foot!). The ending is.. well, just an ending.

The Mirror (Konkona Sen Sharma): Stunner! Not only is the voyeur concept refreshingly presented, this segment also has the best payoff. Both Tillotama Shome and Amrutha Subhash are excellent in their respective roles. The scenes where the ladies lose their cool and their eventual reconciliation were remarkably directed.

Sex with Ex (Sujoy Ghosh): Apart from Tamannaah's unfiltered beauty, there isn't much to relish here. The story is a mess, the CGI countryside is an even bigger mess, and the climactic twist was seen coming 72 miles away.

Tilchatta (Amit Ravindernath Sharma): The plot is as old as it gets. Did this segment really need someone the calibre of Kajol? The twist at the end was fascinating (yet sad), and I think this should have swapped positions with Konkona's segment.
