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.

Direction 1/5 Acting 1.5/5 Editing 0.5/5 Story 1.5/5 Screenplay 0.5/5.

What a letdown! This movie is a complete waste of time. The director seems confused, and it shows in this low-quality film. The story doesn't make much sense, leaving you scratching your head. The characters are boring and don't change much. It feels like the director didn't try very hard. Don't bother watching this mess! From the awkward pacing to the lackluster dialogue, every aspect of this film falls flat. Save your time and money for something worth watching. The cinematography lacks creativity, and the soundtrack feels out of place, further contributing to the overall disappointment. It's evident that this movie lacks the heart and soul needed to resonate with its audience. You'll find yourself constantly checking your watch, counting down the minutes until it's finally over.

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.

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.

Why, oh why? Why are these types of movies even made? What has the world done to deserve such horrific films? I dare anyone to watch 15 minutes of this movie-you'll be pulling your hair out.

What is this? It's nothing but nonsense, certainly not a movie. Plotless, storyless, and meaningless, with utterly ridiculous acting. I sincerely hope no one was actually paid for this.

This is the kind of movie that should be completely eradicated from all movie databases. This is not cinema; it's certainly not a movie. Dibakar Banerjee, apart from his one film "Lucky Oye," consistently produces top-notch ridiculousness, and this one tops them all.

Save yourself.

This is one weird and different movie. It is a parody on lot of things - reality shows, influencers, metaverse and lots more. The acting is top notch and it feels like a live camera recording most of the time. This movie is a bit difficult to watch because of the high level of cringe but it is so different, so weird and so futuristic. It also reveals the dark side of the internet age and almost gives a precursor on how much darker it can get. Overall if you like watching different and out of the box content then go for LSD2. If you prefer watching content in your comfort genre then this is probably not for you.

When I watched first, I could not sit through the entire film. But when i watched it second time, I could observe the minute details that the director observed, like when Swastika mam looks at her hair on a video call, and the reactions of audiences when they were watching TYN. Only the stories didn't link as it should have, because it becomes very frustating for someone to keep sitting throughout the movie and try to find any sense in what is happening. Some context should have been given about what the movie is going to be about, before the movie starts. Overall it was a good movie with good direction.

It takes a lot of guts and passion for the powerful medium (that cinema is) to create such a raw, pristine and effective zist of what's all wrong with today's digital euphoria or I wud our digital way of modern life. Going directly cross with the most thriving indian realty television and may be rubbing quite a few industry friends off the wrong way, it's a highly courageous and appreciative attempt by Dibakar Banerjee. If not now, I can predict a cult following for this brave film that should be viewed by every informed and considerate Indian who worry about our younger generation falling prey to this psychological warfare of social media and instant fame brought down upon us by top 2 economic super powers. It's an uncomfortable watch and punches you in face to make you realise where we are heading. We need more of such bitter pills to wake up from dopamine induced digital algorithms that govern our life nowadays. Thank u DB for this and appreciate the work done by whole cast n crew.

There are movies which provides you with an ending and there are some others which lets you hanging and wants you to ponder on the questions. I'm sure the people who are giving this movie a very low rating fall in the first category, so if you're also the same then don't watch it because you will not be able to understand why this movie was created. This movie is a naked truth in front of all our eyes and I was quite surprised how easily Mr. Bannerjee unveiled that curtain in front of all of us. There are three dimensions of this movie which touch the aspects of our digital life. It is not only showcasing what is running behind the curtain but also place a mirror in front of us all to reflect upon how we are also a part of it. We can't deny to our responsibilities by simply shutting our data plan on our mobiles. There are dangers to online world, reality TV, and many more. This movie is just a nudge to our shoulder to do the right thing.

I won't make a sweeping recommendation of it and your mileage may considerably vary, but all things considered, I thought LSD-2 was an excellent film and a strong return to form for Dibakar Banerjee. I see a lot of negative user reviews on IMDB, but I feel that they from people who think that movies should give some coherent take-home message and don't commit to the wildness of DB's vision, rough edges and all. For me, this is the strongest movie he has made in a long time, after the overblown misfire of Byomkesh Bakshi.

Showing on Netflix. Even the nature of the film makes a streaming watch more appropriate than cinema, the only irritating element being the muting out of swear words, occasionally taking out entire phrases. I suggest avoiding all trailers and going in blind for maximum impact.
