Lust Stories 2 Review: This Season Entertains With Captivating Stories

Netflix is back with the second season of highly acclaimed Lust Stories (2018), this time with a studded cast as Kajol, Tamannaah Bhatia, Vijay Verma, Angad Bedi, Mrunal Thakur, Tillotama Shome, Kumud Mishra, Anushka Kaushik, Neena Gupta, and Amruta Subhash in pivotal roles.

The anthology consists of four episodes is directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, Konkona Sen Sharma, R. Balki & Sujoy Ghosh. Unlike the first season or any other series or content in this genre Lust Stories 2 focuses on very different types of stories and plots like finding a perfect partner, Voyeurism, Ghosts Story & a revenge story.

Episode 1 - Mrunal Thakur, Angad Bedi & Neena Gupta | Directed By R Balki

Episode 1 directed by R Balki revolves around a couple who recently fell in love with each other and have decided to get marry but the grandmother dwells in between the couple and asks for a unique expectation from both of them to have successful married life ahead. Neena Gupta helms the role of that grand mother & who else can do it better than her! Mrunal Thakur plays her character perfectly, her embarrassing expressions are pretty evident and natural. Though in this anthology star-cast could never go wrong the only thing we can notice is the captivating stories. Episode 1 is a good lovey-dovey one but lacks of lust and sounds more romantic.

Rating- 3.5/5

This episode is the perfect offering for the audience who is here to watch some pure lust pouring around. In this season each story is representing some elements of lusty natures.

Episode 4 - Kajol, Kumud Mishra | Directed By Amit Ravindernath Sharma

This one has a special hooks and twists with perfect pull offs by all the characters. It revolves around a so-called King who owns a palace in Ujjain but don’t have enough money or we can say enough ability to be the true king & a better family man. The king shown always either drinking or having forceful sex with random ladies in the village as the privilege of being a King, he also has his wife (Kajol) who he picked up from red light area. The depth of the story has been shown perfectly scene by scene and the Royal setting too has been kept smoothly. Kajol’s overall character could have been more better but its fulfilling the need of the story over here.

Rating- 4/5
