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.

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.

Different and weird is the expression I can give to this movie I mean I failed to understand what was this there are 3 stories how they are connected what is the overarching plot I don't know yes there is some social commentary but that's it. And that is not enough at the end It ended I was expecting some kind of explanation I can go home with but nothing it demands you to find something coherent which I am not sure is present at least I didn't find it in my watching

Atleast it is watchable the direction is surely different and want to see it replicated in a film with a better story. In itself the stories were on good concept but felt nothing like a movie

FAVOURITE CHARACTER :: haha the mother in the 1st part can take it FAVOURITE MOMENT :: Anu Malik stopping the dance.

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.
