If you are looking for a movie which has a mix of adult humor and entertainment, lust stories 2 is the one for you. The sequel to the Lust Stories which recently got released on Netflix is getting mixed response.
Just like the first part, this one contains 4 stories.
The anthology starts with Neena Gupta, (Mrunal Thakur’s grandmother) being very blunt about sex with her granddaughter. She even goes on saying the very iconic line, “The human body is a volcano like Mount Fuji, and is only satisfied once it has erupted.” Her role in the movie is to normalize talking about sex and she even goes on to say that a marriage can only be called “perfect” when you share the best sexual relationship with your partner. Barring Meena Gupta’s stellar performance, this one has no story and is a bummer.
Then comes Tillotama Shome’s story. She’s a single woman who has a successful career but is deeply lonely. One day she, by accident sees her maid having sex with her husband in her own bed. After the initial shock, she starts drawing a voyeuristic pleasure from it. What happens by the end is quite unexpected and holds the story together. This in fact is the only story which is praise worthy, not only for direction but also for amazing performance by the two lead actresses.
The third in the row is Tamannaah’s and Vijay’s part in the movie. Vijay, a constant cheater in his marriage, comes across a village where he meets his partner from 10 years ago. Then he goes on making her have sex with him. But then again, the story ends with something you’d probably not expect.
The last part of the movie consists of Kajol and Kumud Mishra. Kumud is one of the descendants of a king in Rajasthan. He owns a very old Haveli and lives with Kajol, his wife who used to be a prostitute before marriage. He also has a son, but his personality is totally different from his father. Kumud’s character is of a womaniser. He’s even abusive to his wife and doesn’t allow his son to move to the UK. Kajol then plans on something to get rid of him so that she can sell the Haveli and move to the UK with her son. But again, the end turns out to be something different.
Overall the movie has one thing in common, that is, of course lust and it’s a good one time watch.
Rating – 3/5
