Lust Stories 2

"Lust Stories 2" continues the anthology format of its predecessor, delving into the multifaceted nature of human desire with four distinct stories. Each tale offers a unique perspective on love, lust, and the complexities of relationships, making for an engaging and thought-provoking viewing experience. The ensemble cast delivers strong performances, bringing depth and nuance to their characters. The directors skillfully navigate the delicate balance between sensuality and emotional depth, crafting narratives that resonate on both a physical and emotional level. While some stories are more impactful than others, "Lust Stories 2" succeeds in its exploration of the human condition. It challenges societal norms and expectations, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own desires and relationships. Overall, "Lust Stories 2" is a worthy successor to the original. It's a mature and nuanced anthology that explores the complexities of desire with honesty and sensitivity. While it may not be perfect, it's a compelling collection of stories that will leave you pondering long after the credits roll.

The way I see it, only one of the shorts in Lust Stories 2, is really about lust at all. That'll be the one made my Konkona Sen Sharma—The Mirror. That is the one I am really rating. The others have little to do with lust or sexuality, but aren't bad short films. The Mirror, however has a very new perspective on sexual voyeurism within employee-employer relationships in an Indian metropolis. Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash are fantastic.

I would not be doing justice to Konkona Sensharma if I call Lust Stories 2 a trainwreck because her film, The Mirror is one of the best things I have ever watched. So, in other words a Lust 'Story' dominates over the others. The Worst - Despite of brimming with talent in front of & behind the camera, the other three shorts do not come close to The Mirror. The worst is R. Balki's ft. Mrunal Thakur, Angad Bedi & Neena Gupta. They could have done a lot more with this but they decided to play it safe and the end result is no Mt. Fuji. The much talked about Vijay Verma-Tamannaah short by Sujoy Ghosh gives away the climax at the very beginning itself. It stands out like a sore thumb. The chemistry between the pair is excellent but what it makes up for in the lust factor, it loses in poor/tacky making. The better of the three is definitely the Kajol - Kumud Mishra short. Again, it had a lot of potential but falls short delivering a shocking climax on its way out. The highlight of the anthology, The Mirror features two of the best artists we have right now: Tillotama Shome & Amruta Subhash. It hits the bullseye with the perfect amount of kink to earn the stamp of a Lust Story classic. Konkona Sen's talent knows no bounds as she continues to impress behind the camera as well. Amruta is a maid at Tillotama Shome's home and one day when the latter returns home from work, she finds her maid passionately making love to her husband on her bed. And she witnesses this through a mirror. There is a heated exchange between the two leads & that scene alone deems this short an epic. It's clear then, watch The Mirror (2nd short in the anthology) and skip the rest.

only 1 of the stories was good rest three were sh** especially the tammana one its purely senseless

You keep losing interest half way through each story. Predictable endings{not conclusions, there are none}. its alright if you keep zoning in and out, dont recommend if you intend to watch it. Conclusion {which the movie lacked }, dont judge a book by its cover.

The previous one was better, there was no head or tail to this whole film. The film was just about nudity and sex, the scriptwriters have completely lost their touch. It is surprising how much trouble Kajol had to go through to do this. Complete waste of time.

Seeing A list actors in these movies can't digest, Tamanna seen so many movies of her since her debut, but doing these kind not sure what happened to her, is it 💰 these actors agree to so such movies, ki Paisa boltha hai, it's just adaptation of western culture about sex content.

Very poor narration. It's like devotional classes series. Very boring 1st episode

Unlike the clowns review bombing this one, i have watched the anthology. Kajol, Kumud Mishra and Vijay Verma were standout performers

The best thing about anthologies is that the short films that make them have the liberty to explore various narrative beats while also touching upon the overarching theme. Lust Story, the original, did it quite well while also keeping the stories pretty fresh. But that came before the blow-up of OTT in India in 2018. The second edition, which released just a day ago in 2023, has some good stories to tell, but it doesn't seem very fresh except for the second one out of the four directed by Konkana Sen Sharma. The one directed by R. Balki has a feel-good vibe attached to it, but that's its only merit. Sujoy Ghosh‘s entry had a twist that anyone would see from a mile away. But contradictory to him, Amit Sharma's entry had one that was really shocking, to say the least. TL;DR - My Rankings: 1. Konkana Sen Sharma 2. Amit Sharma 3. R. Balki 4. Sujoy Ghosh
