…Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 showcases the ugly truth behind the OTT shows, virtual world and AI. All three segments have relatable stories that will make you think about finally drawing the line between real and reel worlds. It makes a good one-time watch….

…Overall, LSD 2 starts with a bang, but dips a bit in between, and then goes for a very entertaining finale. So, this one is an entertaining and relatable film, especially for youth….

…Talking about the performances, Paritosh Tiwari, Bonita Rajpurohit and Abhinav Santosh Singh portray their characters to the T. However, a versatile star like Swastika Mukherjee was seemingly wasted as her character had no meat. Cameos from Mouni Roy and Uorfi Javed are simply outstanding….

…Banerjee’s experiments with the form and the content are quite revolutionary and he ensures that his audiences will get shocked, provoked and entertained, in turn, with his movie. And he couldn’t have found a more apt title for the movie than ‘Love Sex aur Dhokha’. This is a movie of the times, told in a manner that today’s generation can clearly relate to. Bravo Banerjee!…

…The great thing about a Dibakar Banerjee film is that it never fails to spring surprises. LSD 2 has more than its share of fearless flights of fancy. Some land, some don’t. But that takes little away. Even when it tends to be baffling, the film makes you think….

…Banerjee gives it all a whirl and by way of the act of you watching this film, snips the connection of subjectivity between the screen and its audience. The formal chaos and the self-reflexivity of the plot and its treatment might suggest it is more suited to the self-guided OTT experience, but perhaps that’s not the point of LSD 2….

…The muting of cusses through the film is a reminder of the censors LSD2 had to negotiate to reach theatres. That the film is no more provocative than the 2010 one (some might argue it’s less so) is an indication of how difficult it is to make Hindi films that agitate today…

…Bottom line: In a world where there are several projects around the impact of social media on human behaviour, Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 falls short in giving a true picture on the subject. I would only recommend you to watch Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 if you have nothing else to do this weekend….

…Several parts of LSD2 brim with potential and Malik is particularly funny, but, its merits seem to be clouded by its overwhelming issues.
Too much content, not as much breathing space, lack of gravity, and a chaotic sense of urgency ultimately mean that the movie isn’t able to tie its loose ends properly.
Skip it in theaters, but watch on Netflix later….
