Back in 2010, Dibakar Banerjee's Love Sex Aur Dhokha made Rajkummar Rao, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Anshuman Jha, and other young talents a huge sensation. Though bold, the film engrossed the audience with something they had never seen before. Now, 14 years later, Ektaa R Kapoor teams up with Dibakar once again for Love Sex Aur Dhokha's highly-anticipated sequel.
The makers of the film released a clip titled Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 Pehla Dose yesterday. It introduced the cast of the upcoming A-rated film. The known faces include Paritosh Tripathi, Mouni Roy and Uorfi Javed. Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 makers issue a disclaimer right before the clip begins. Loaded with explicit content, the teaser offers the bare minimum to the viewers.
The Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 Pehla Dose begins with screams and loud noises that can instantly put one interest to continue watching the clip to rest. Renowned names like Mouni Roy acting in shady films will make you wonder what was she thinking while signing Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2.
While it is important to promote freedom of speech and expression among filmmakers, showcasing and shooing family audience away isn't a wise decision in the current scenario. It's the family audience that holds the power to make a film successful at the box office. The first installment of Love Sex Aur Dhokha was a path-breaking film. The sequel seems to be focusing on creating sensation headlines.
Yes, sex sells in India but is the Indian audience ready to grasp in boldness beyond measure? Will social media sensations like Uorfi Javed step outside their La La Land and actually act correctly? Only time shall tell.
