Lust Stories 2

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.
