Lust Stories (2018)

Don't waste your time watching this. it is just an air balloon with "lust" written over it.

government should also adopt a policy to rate movie title to save our youngsters falling into such traps. Maybe out of curiousity some teenager would watch a movie. director has not done justice to any of the stories. The movie makers don't even want to get involved in the subject. This is what happens when big corporates with a huge corporate bureaucracy make something.

Fmovies: This movie successfully explores the regressive Indian sexuality and especially women's sexuality. The first part direced by Anurag Kashyap was really commendable with terrific performance by Radhika Apte. The second part directed by Zoya Akhtar was just okay. I loved seeing Manisha Koirala after a long time with a powerful role. The best part although was Karan Johar's which was hilarious and at the time had a beautiful message which is also my title for the review. One scene from the movie reminded me of a similar scene in Veere di wedding which was pathbreaking. 1st part- 4 stars 2nd part- 3 stars 3rd part- 3.5 stars 4th part- 4.5 stars

All the stories are based on a certain issues, which if one is aware of or has experienced would make it an enjoyable movie. Apart from Karan Johar one, others were difficult to comprehend as in what is happening, why are they behaving in that manner. I guess the runtime for each story was very small to establish anything in detail. In order of liking,

1. Zoya Akhtar: It seems she has taken upon herself to show poor people stories after being accused of having made movies about the rich. She does a fantastic job and the potrayal, dialogues felt authentic. Bhumi Pednekar outshines everyone across all stories. She just has 2 dialogues and the entire story hinges on her. Exceptional performance in a completely deglamourised role. Speaking of the direction, I thoroughly enjoyed the match cuts and how the story was established.

2. Karan Johar, this one is the comedy and easy to understand, watch this for sure. I felt one could have made an entire movie on this, but this one is made for the one comedic climax it felt nevertheless the climax was funny.

3. Dibakar Banerjee, I didn't get this one, a conflicted middle-aged woman it seemed, but I was left with more questions, which is may be a good thing, I don't know.

4. Anurag Kashyap, a conflicted teacher figuring out about love. I kind of understood the message being wanting everything, but without any logic about if it is morally right or wrong. It is entirely about dilemma may be best suited for people who have gone through this patch. I got bored few minutes into this and was waiting for it get over.

Lust Stories fmovies. Basically another movie where the male gender is bashed just to make the female gender look good. Yes women are suffocated in the modern society, torn apart between being a respectful woman in society but at the same time being an emancipated woman.

The director basically compiled a list of gossips shared by women in bars and clubs and made a movie out of it. I am pretty much sure that most women in india are aware that they're capable of much more, no need to spoon feed them.

I got bored watching this movie! only focusing on problematic characters who try way to hard to figure out their relationship! so what?! what's the point?! total waste of time!

It seemed to be a decent show seeing the advertisements and hype but the show, in reality is dark and depressing without any reason. I don't what kind of an audience would even enjoy that.
