#LustStories is 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 but too predictable.
★★½ #LustStories2 fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor #LustStories The films are well-made & feature strong performances, but the stories are all too predictable and uninspired. Overall, If you enjoyed the first, you may want to give this one a try, but don’t expect it to be as good.

lets see the stories one by one –
Story 1 – Neena Gupta: The relationship between Mrunal Thakur and Angad Bedi is the focus of this tale. But before they proceed with their relationship, their grandmother is adamant that they take a sexual compatibility test. The narrative demonstrates how even a family that appears to be forward-thinking can become traditional when it comes to sexual topics. Neena Gupta gives a superb performance in this tale. Although some of her dialogue may be uncomfortable, the way she delivers it is captivating.
Konkona Sen Sharma is the main character in the second story, which also stars Tilottama Shome and Amrita Subhash. When exploring women’s desires, Konkona deftly takes the audience to a darker and more intense side. Single woman Tilottama and Amrita, who works in her home, each present lust’s complexities in a different way. This story features exceptional acting from Konkona, who gives one of her best performances to date.
She does a good job of showing how gender, class, caste, or other distinctions are irrelevant to lust.
The third story in this series, starring Tamannah Bhatia and Vijay Varma, has garnered the most attention. It was written and directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Sadly, the audience is not effectively engaged by this story. The background score doesn’t do a good job of supporting the narrative as Tamannah and Vijay portray characters who are having an extramarital affair. Despite a strong beginning, the story suffers from a lack of direction that makes these gifted actors’ performances lackluster and give the story a mediocre on-screen portrayal.
The series’ standout tale is Story 4: Kajol and Kumud Mishra, which is told by Amit Sharma. It tells an unusual story of lust between an elderly couple. The plot involving Kajol and Kumud Mishra is interestingly unoriginal thanks to Amit, but the buildup and climax are superb. Your opinion of him is strongly negative as a result of Kumud Mishra’s portrayal of his persona. A standout performance from Kajol further enhances the impact of the narrative.

4th story still is not getting into my head logically.
The end seems to be foisted on it to add to the shock value.
Woh character mein kahin toh kuchh dikhta na. #LustStories2OnNetflix #LustStories2 #LustStories2Review
