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.

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.)

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.

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.
