Fourteen years is a long time between a film and its sequel. But Dibakar Banerjee is certain that Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 (LSD 2) required a decade of experiences and observations. When producer Ektaa R Kapoor called him in 2020 to propose the possibility of LSD 2, the director knew it was time. “I thought that a decade has passed and everything has changed in this period. So, there is enough masala [to create] a spiritual offspring. If LSD 1 was about the camera serendipitously spying on you, LSD 2 is you living for a thousand cameras,” he says.
Spanning three stories, LSD 2 is a result of Banerjee’s observations of the invasion of social media in people’s lives. It shows how the internet is both a medium of freedom and enslavement. He elaborates, “The internet gives us a certain kind of independence. In the virtual world, we can be whoever we fantasise to be. But when we reinvent our identity and try to sell it, we are caught in it and that’s the exact opposite of freedom.”
