Dibakar Banerjee’s highly-anticipated sequel, Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 (LSD 2), has hit the screens after a 14-year hiatus from its predecessor. Teaming up once again with producer Ekta Kapoor, the filmmaker brings up a bold exploration of love and sex against the backdrop of the internet age. Released in theaters on April 19, 2024, the movie has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
‘Satisfying and maddening’: Netizens on Dibakar Banerjee’s Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2
Much like its predecessor, the film showcases Banerjee’s signature unconventional storytelling. It blends three different storylines that delve deep into the intricacies of modern relationships against the backdrop of internet culture.
As early viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their thoughts, opinions on Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 were as diverse as the stories it portrays. While some lauded the film for its boldness and innovation, others found it lacking in storytelling.
One Twitter user eagerly expressed, “I can’t WAIT to share my LSD 2 review with y’all tomorrow. Wild film, equal parts satisfying and maddening. Dibakar Banerjee is undoubtedly one of the strongest filmmakers of our times.”
Another user’s tweet encapsulated the film’s essence, “SHOOK. I don’t remember the last time I liked all the segments of an anthology film. I was ready to be disappointed, but #LSD2 is a Funny, dark, and bizarre film. It can never make money in theatres even in next 20 years. It should be on OTT. But what a film!”
However, amidst the praise, there were voices of criticism. A user bluntly stated, “#LSD2 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. #LoveSexAurDhokha2 miserably failed to deliver an engaging storyline, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience.”
Overall, LSD 2 has emerged as a one-of-a-kind movie. The film is currently playing in nearby theaters.
