LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2

Rarely does a film provoke such a strong emotional reaction that I feel compelled to warn others against watching it. But LSD 2 (Love, Sex aur Dhokha 2) is a cinematic disaster so complete, so directionless, and so utterly tone-deaf that it not only wastes the viewer's time - it actively offends the intelligence and emotional sensitivity of anyone watching.

I stumbled upon LSD 2 after seeing it mentioned on a random "Top 10 Most Underrated Hindi Films" list online. Intrigued by its inclusion, and having a vague memory of the first LSD film (which was edgy but thought-provoking in parts), I decided to give the sequel a chance. That turned out to be a terrible mistake - one I regret deeply. What unfolded on screen felt like a bizarre social experiment, an incoherent mess pretending to be art, stitched together by people who either have no understanding of cinema or no respect for their audience.

The original LSD was released in 2010, directed by Dibakar Banerjee, and presented itself as a found-footage anthology that examined the dark side of human relationships in the digital age. It was bold, raw, and controversial - but it had something to say. LSD 2, on the other hand, tries to recreate that formula but ends up being a parody of itself. It attempts to shock and provoke but without purpose or subtlety. The result is a film that feels less like a narrative and more like a poorly-executed rant from creators who mistake chaos for commentary.

From the very first scene, the movie gives off a jarring, amateurish vibe. The editing is disorienting, the camera work is chaotic (and not in a clever found-footage way), and the dialogues are so forced and tone-deaf that I genuinely wondered if the actors were improvising without a script. Every character feels like a caricature, and not even in a satirical sense - just poorly written, underdeveloped, and lacking any believable motivation. The transitions between segments are abrupt and confusing, leaving you wondering what just happened and why.

One of the biggest disappointments is the presence of recognizable actors like Mouni Roy and Tusshar Kapoor. You expect that at least their involvement would lend some weight or quality to the project. But they feel disconnected, as if even they are unsure about what they're doing in the film. Their performances lack any real conviction - not because they're untalented, but because the script gives them absolutely nothing to work with. It honestly feels like they were thrown into the project without being fully briefed on what kind of film they were making.

The themes that the film tries to tackle - voyeurism, internet culture, fake news, influencer toxicity - are important and very relevant. But the film doesn't treat them with any depth or seriousness. Instead, it uses these topics as a shallow excuse for sensationalism. Every sequence feels designed to provoke, but not to engage or enlighten. There's no emotional core, no narrative thread, and absolutely no payoff.

After watching this film, I didn't just feel disappointed - I felt angry. Angry that time, talent, and resources were spent on something so devoid of coherence or purpose. Angry that I was misled into thinking this film might be worth watching. Angry that something so tasteless could be marketed as socially relevant. And more than anything, I felt bad for anyone who might stumble across this film and sit through it expecting a meaningful experience.

If I sound harsh, it's because LSD 2 deserves it. It's not edgy. It's not deep. It's not even entertaining in a "so bad it's good" way. It's just bad - plain and simple. In fact, I wouldn't recommend this film to even the most curious viewer. Watch literally anything else. Rewatch the original LSD if you must. But steer clear of this sequel. Some films are forgettable. LSD 2 is unforgettable in the worst way.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
