Lust Stories 2

Lust Stories 2 (2023) is an Indian drama anthology you can watch online on iFILM. Four directors — Konkona Sen Sharma, Sujoy Ghosh, Amit Sharma and R. Balki — each contribute a short film about desire, intimacy and love. It follows the much-talked-about 2018 collection that earned an Emmy nomination.

Every segment stands on its own and treats sex in its own register. In one, a grandmother bluntly asks her granddaughter whether she's tested the bed before the wedding. In another, infidelity curdles into quiet revenge, while attraction across a class divide drifts toward something dangerous. What ties the pieces together isn't plot but a single gaze: at how Indian society can be embarrassed to talk about lust and run on it at the same time.

The ensemble brings in Neena Gupta, Mrunal Thakur, Tamannaah Bhatia, Kajol and Vijay Varma. An anthology is uneven by design — some chapters land harder than others, and that's part of its honesty. It's for viewers who like short-form storytelling and grown-up conversation without the prudishness. Stream Lust Stories 2 (2023) online on iFILM.
