Lust Stories (2018)
7/10
Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap saved it!!
10 April 2020
When I saw the trailer, it seemed like the usual pretentious and hypocritical take of bollywood over 'modern' relationships, but it's not!

The first story is about Kalindi and Tejas, directed by Kashyap, and I found it to be the best among the all four stories. The character of Kalindi was well written and brilliantly played by Radhika Apte, and the character of Tejas was played really well by Akash thosar. Kalindi's conflicts are intriguing and keeps you hooked, I wanted to see a full film over her character actually.

The second was directed by Zoya Akhtar and it was a let down. It was not engaging for me and just felt very slow with unnecessary pauses and a hurried climax, it could have been a better story.

Same was with Dibakar Banerjee, five minutes into his story and I felt too bored to go ahead and hence I skipped it.

The last was great and really entertaining by Karan Johar. Crisp dialogues, interesting characters and interesting subject which was handled pretty well.

It's actually great that two best parts of lust stories are at the first and the last of it! Overall it's worth watching for those two parts.
