Reception edit
Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated this film 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted "LSD 2 remains a visually captivating and well-acted exploration of the dark side of our digital lives. The technically proficient film struggles to deliver a cohesive narrative as compelling as its predecessor."[5]
Bollywood Hungama critic rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 fails to make an impact as it's too confusing."[6]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated 3/5 stars and notes "There is startling accuracy to Dibakar Banerjee's portrayal."[7]
Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu noted " You can sense Banerjee channelling all these disparate frustrations in LSD 2, which is disdainful of corporates and algorithms, the soothing call of Big Brother and the animated bleating of electric sheep."[8]
Prannay Pathak of Hindustan Times noted "The formal chaos and the self-reflexivity of the plot and its treatment might suggest it is more suited to the self-guided OTT experience, but perhaps that’s not the point of LSD 2."[9]
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated this film 3 stars out of 5 stars and noted "If that is the kind of cinema that excites you, LSD 2 might be well worth your time."[10] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated this film 3.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted "‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2’ is a scream of rage, mixed with a confounded befuddlement. It’s been a while since I’ve seen an Indian film as politically and socially trenchant as this one."[11]
