Summary
Reviewers say 'Lust Stories 2' delves into lust, desire, and relationships but is criticized for disjointed storytelling, weak scripts, and lack of depth. Many note subpar performances and underdeveloped characters, even with talented actors. The anthology format, successful in the original, feels disjointed here. Some praise specific segments, especially those directed by Konkona Sen Sharma and featuring strong performances by Tamannah Bhatia and Vijay Varma. However, the overall consensus is that 'Lust Stories 2' fails to match its predecessor's impact, disappointing fans.
Featured reviews
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.

Out of the 4 stories, I liked "The Mirror" by Konkona Sen Sharma & "Tilchatta" by Amit Ravindernath Sharma.
"The Mirror" was successful in portraying the hidden sexual fantasies among some people.
"Tilchatta" had a brilliant twist in the climax showing how an evil plan backfires due to a sexual urge that can't be kept hidden forever!
The other 2 stories weren't that promising.
"Made for each other" by R Balki where the portrayal of the idea that sex is the only thing that makes a happy and long lasting marriage, felt unconvincing to me.
"Sex with the Ex" by Sujoy Ghosh was an amateurish direction with a weak plotline. Although I couldn't take my eyes of the voluptuous Tamanna Bhatia.

"Generally, anthologies provide a bittersweet experience, but this one has fewer variations than the others, making it possibly better than them. The best one I have watched will still be "Wild Tales." However, despite being sluggish in a few areas, Lust Stories 2 will be a god watch directed by multiple directors, revolves around the central theme of 'Sex.' One story focuses on a happy ending is the weakest among the stories as a veteran like Neena fails to pull it off because of the cheesy lines she has been given. Very poorly written script and dialogues I must say.
Two stories are horror and thriller are the average ones , they try to give you shocking climax but fail because of the weak script again.
However, one is a delicately crafted psychological story. The best among the four, in my opinion, is Konkona's segment "The mirror", where you can feel a woman telling a woman's story.
All in all a watchable attempt. The actresses featured in the anthology are renowned, such as Kajol, Tamanna, and Mrunal, ensuring a good viewing experience.

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.
