It’s always great to see Indian directors moving away from the clichéd topics, and coming up with content that will be loved by the millennial audience. It is refreshing to watch a film that’s not from a dreamland where everything is about ‘happy endings’, but more realistic and veristic.

Following that trend, Netflix has released the trailer of its second Indian film after ‘Love Per Square Feet’, ‘Lust Stories’ that’s quite intriguing.

‘Lust Stories’ is an anthology of four short films by famous Indian directors Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee. The film weaves in four different stories with one common point, which brings modern relationships to life from a woman’s perspective.

This becomes the second film after ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ that portrays what love, lust, and betrayal is like from a female point of view. Call it a need of the hour or need of modern times, it’s interesting how these topics are finally being given importance.

The first part shows a house help (Bhumi Pednekar) falling in love with the owner (Neil Bhoopalam). The second one highlights the issue of sexual dissatisfaction between a newly married couple Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani, a topic that’s very much neglected in our country. 

We also see Neha Dhupia making a small appearance, though nothing much can be said about her role yet. Sanjay Kapoor, Manisha Koirala and Jaideep Ahlawat star in the third part which revolves around a marriage, its complications, and an extramarital affair. The final film, featuring Radhika Apte and Akash Thosar is about an unconventional modern relationship.
