Has anyone watched LSD(2010)?

I saw this movie in the theatre in 2010 and it left a deep impact on me.

Brutal and brilliant, the film explores the dark realities of society. But what is most interesting is the use of the found-footage technique. The entire film is constructed using footage from cameras that are placed within the plot: In the first story, it's a handycam; in the second, CCTV cameras; and in the third, a spy cam.

The images are blurry, shaky, and too dark: it's as if we are watching life captured by another camera.

The first story, Blockbuster Love, lands the hardest punch. It's about honor killing and the gap between the kind of romances that Bollywood sells us and the actual reality. The gruesome climax will make you feel nauseous, it's so hard-hitting!

The second story, which is the debut of Rajkumar Rao, is the story of a young man who emotionally manipulates a salesgirl into having an affair with him -- it's a trap, whereby he plans to seduce her, make a sex tape, and sell it to the highest bidder. The conversation between the men in this particular story will have your skin crawling with its crassness.

The third is about a Punjabi popstar named Loki Local and how the greed of the television channel operators sours the sting operation planned on him.

I love Dibakar Banerjee's work. This movie, especially the first story, made me actually feel as if I'm part of the dystopic landscape. It's not a movie for the faint-hearted.

Has anyone watched it?

Not even heard of it

Dibakar Banerjee's Love, Sex Aur Dhoka which released in 2010.

I had seen it. I remember the honour killing story giving me the chills but lost interest later as I didn't like the CCTV camera shooting. Will give it a go once again. Maybe, I'll appreciate the camera techniques better now.

Yes.. i saw and agree it still effects me. Mainly honour killing and sex tape. I hated Raj Kumar Rao with a passion after this movie... It took shree movie for me to come out of that hate 😳

It is gut wrenching. I loved the first story, it was pretty unexpected. Nusrat was really good in her role, sadly I don't see that rawness in her anymore.

I have always loved Dibaker Banerjee's work - Byomkesh Bakhsi, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, That ghost story in Ghost Stories, Khosla Ka Ghosla and also Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar.

Agree with every word!!!!

I had watched it long back as a kid and remember being paranoid about it all.

Somehow the CCTV kinda shot movie felt more raw and horrifying than a regularly shot film. It felt closer to reality and that just proved too much for me as a kid 😆

Oh and the title song was stuck in my head. One of Dibaker's finest for sure.

I thought it was pretty good. I remember watching it.

I usually dont like films like this but Id give it a 7.5 out of 10
