Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
4 short stories. The first has a lady college teacher who is possibly undergoing counseling, because of her sexual predilections. She is neurotic, a stalker and a cougar to boot. Well played by Radhika Apte. The second short is the best of the lot, with Bhumi Pednekar excelling in her role. Almost no dialogues, yet one can empathize with the lead characters. The third is perhaps the worst. Slurred dialogues ad infinitum, No plot and a very unpleasant looking Manisha Koirala, who is full of attitude. The fourth: Confused fare, from who else but Karan Johar, who seems permanently divorced from reality in his films. So it is a story based in Lucknow (one fleeting shot of the city's skyline is enough), where there is a rather fancy school, which only has 2 lady teachers (the rest are nowhere to be seen), a slow-witted Principal and few students. These two teachers are always dressed most inappropriately (but then it is Karan Johar!!), with sex on their minds. While one takes the help of a vibrator to relieve herself, the other takes the path of matrimony. So what happens when the second one also feels that a vibrator can be better than her imbecile husband? That is what the story is all about. The idea of film anthologies, minus song and dance routines is always welcome. It takes away the tedium of watching boring films. But this one disappoints as it takes a desultory look at a very serious and interesting subject. See the second story and walk out.
'Lust Stories' is the sequel to 2013's uneven Bombay Talkies, presenting four short films by four of India's biggest directors exploring love, sex and relationships in modern India. So its Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Karan Johar, calling out the shots!The First Story centers around Kalindi (Radhika Apte), a fickle minded college professor, who after engaging in sexual intercourse with a student of hers named Tejas (Akash Thosar), introspects her life. Kashyap Directs this appealing & bizarre tale of a woman gone cuckoo with energy & outwardly humor. Apte is simply extraordinary, while Akash Thosar shows signs for a gift in comedy. The Second Story centers around Sudhaa (Bhumi Pednekar) and Ajit (Neil Bhoopalam), who are secretly in a passionate sexual relationship. It is revealed later that Sudha is his maid, who, despite giving him love & lust, can never be seen as Ajit's wife due to her stature. Zoya is in stupendous form & easily delivers the most affecting story out of the 4. Padnekar is richly controlled, while Bhoopalam gets little to do. The Third Story centers around Reena (Manisha Koirala), a housewife, who is indulging in an extra-marital affair with her husband's best friend Sudhir (Jaideep Ahlawat). Things get tense when the husband (Sanjay Kapoor) arrives to the scene. Banerjee's tale is average & a tad too verbose. Koirala is a delight to watch, while Sanjay Kapoor steals the story. Jaideep Ahlawat, who was so good in Raazi recently, appears miscast here.The Fourth & Final Story centers around Megha (Kiara Advani) is a young school teacher who gets engaged to be married to Paras (Vicky Kaushal), an office worker. After their marriage, Megha discovers that while Paras is continuously pleasured during sex, he is not aware of her dissatisfaction. But Megha's urge take a new form when she gets some help from her colleague Rekha (Neha Dhupia). Johar has fun with story & even takes a jab at himself in the story's most hilarious sequence. Advani is pure perfection, while Kaushal & Dhupia are fabulous.On the whole, 'Lust Stories' is a mix of good and ordinary! Not a bad way to spend your lazy Sunday afternoon.
The first plot is really good. Radhika Apte is a genuine actress. She did very well in her role. The second part, it doesn't make any sense. What is the actual message here? The third part, very weak plot but the actress did her job superbly. The 4th plot, I always thought Karan Johar make meaningless movies but here he opened new side of his direction level.
Finally some stories that don't needlessly romanticise sexuality. Storytelling, acting and direction is steadily robust across the four stories. You can definitely see the strong imprint of each director if you have watched their movies in the past.
