Love, Sex & Dhokha - The serious Dhokha!

When the title of a movie is this, its bound to generate curiosity. The promos were good, exciting and pulled audience. Good reviews over the newspapers enhanced the same. Excited...I decided to watch the movie, especially when it was directed by the man who made Khosla ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!

The excitement however soon turned into disappointment. I found it difficult to sit in the theatre and watch the whole movie. It is aw, brutal and real but a drag inspite of being a movie of under 2 hours.

What makes it a failure?

The biggest draw back was the fact that the main plot or storyline or the script was weak. The raw brutality was presented in a manner which I would say is undoubtedly appreciable. But when the main plot fails, nothing else works (not even the good acting).

Connecting 3 stories into one also came up a few years back in a movie by the name "3 Deewarein" by Nagesh Kukoonoor. It was a classic movie though not very popular given the fact that it wasn't commercialised. Yet a movie from which every director can take an inspiration.

Back to LSD - What would have made the difference?

A much better plot was the basic need as already stated. A strong one essentially. The connectivity between the 3 stories did not have a big impact and thats why the try that the Director made to bring twists or create a new sense of excitement essentially failed. The connectivity was weak and not of much relevance.

The filming technique also fails. Similar to the style used in Blair Witch Project, the style doesn't work for me here. It merely added to the misery and created further disinterest.


We can just hope that a person of the quality of Dibakar Banerjee (The Director), comes back to his usual quality which has had an impeccable record before LSD...

I am back!

I a back after a long time. Finally changed job and have shifted to the land of opportunities - Mumbai. The lifestyle and work culture is so much different and so much better. I hope further opportunities open up for me and I can move ahead in life!

I thought it would be easy but it wasn't to be so. Its difficult to live alone suddenly especially when you've been dependent on family and friends till now. However, a month and a half already gone and I have finally been able to settle down and cope up with the new fast-paced lifestyle.
