Ever Lust Stories by evergreen Directors


Five years ago, we saw ‘Bombay Talkies’ and the gang of four hit back again exclusively for the ‘Netflix’ generation.  This time, we see the movie real time in the Fiji Islands after work. We see how they see people and places. There are four untitled stories done by Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar weaving Kiara Advani, Vicky Kaushal, Neha Dhupia, Radhika Apte and Bhumi Pednekar around a common motif.



The idea of launching the films on Netflix – a LIVE streaming platform is liberating for the filmmakers, I wish this existed when Kashyap made yet-to-be-released ‘Paanch’ I think, it would be a good idea to launch it legally now.  Coming back to where we began, there are clueless men and strong women fore-playing. The film is apt in a sexually liberated environment and very urban. All the films apart from the common theme ‘lust’ also portrayed how strong willed these women are and all of them exactly knew what they wanted in/from life.



Anurag Kashp’s opens the film with his muse Radhika Apte as Kalindi maam as a carefree, spirited women citing Amrita Pritam and Mahabharata giving a monologue in and out of the screen with the audience, was justifying her ‘acts’ at the same time susceptible by morality and legal arguments of rights and wrongs. Wont get into a spoiler mode as the film was released in June 15 and this is September, been three months already. 

The remaining Lusty stories can be seen at Netflix
