Sting operations in general are supposed to bring out the truth in its realistic form but here Ekta Kapoor’s production tries to potray how it can be misused by the Media or Manipulators for TRPs & financial gains in the form of blackmail. But the plot is complicated with realistic camerawork ( which i believe is because of usage of real spy cameras ) which goes to the edge of being considered as amateurish renedition. Sometimes the shaky camera on the screen gives you a tummy burping feeling that you are paying to watch a sheer nonsenscial movie, but guys that is what Stings are all about without edits and crude and uncontrolled camera angles.
How does one weave 3 different MMS clips into a movie is ultimately the storyline of LSD. The elaboration of LSD in its true form Lysergic acid diethylamide, which is a psychedelic drug used for treating psychiatric and cancer patients for its potent properties. Of course when you come out of the theatre you get this heady feeling that you have consumed the real LSD drug and try to grapple as to what hit you in the end. Once you start interpretation of the movie you come to the conclusion the sordid part of sting operations or MMS clippings.
The director Dibankar has chosen newcomers, who are bold enough to pull off an adult subject with aplomb. Maybe the film would have been better recieved if made with recognised actors is my personal feeling, but who is to bell the cat and get into an akward situation of facing the media. Media is not interested to grill new comers, since it does not fetch any kudos or TRPs, for their channel or enhanced circulation.
In an age of Facebook, Youtube, Wave, Blogspot and Orkut spy cameras and amateur videos shot from an hidden purse, pocket, shades, are the main focus point of the film. How we enjoyed the cyber cafe sex scandals and car sex scandals without paying for the voyeristic episodes. But what is the motivation for guys who pay for such clips and upload it for the world to watch and enjoy without literally paying for it. Is it that they upload only a trialer and expect the public to buy rest of the clipping is an issue which still engages my grey cells. The days of papparazi probing into celebrities life continues, but now the arena has extended into lives of ordinary citizens too. Beware of the peeping toms, LSD is an adult movie with more of adult subject matter than content in terms of raw footage.
Now coming to the movie it is basically weaving of 3 MMS or Sting operations together to form a complete plot. The first story revolves around a young director named Rahul ( Anshuman Jha ) and Shruti ( Shruti) the heroine of his amateur movie for completing his course. How they fall in love and felled in a gruesome sordid way by the girls parents. The sex scene of their honeymoon seems to be totally censored. Don t be disappointed we get to see it in the second episode.
The second sting is related to Adarsh ( Raj Kumar Yadav ) and Rashmi ( Neha Chauhan ) work in a retail outlet. How Adarsh is enticed with payment of 70 k to film his intercourse with the counter salesgal is the crux of the clipping ? Does he do it ? Watch the film for the twist.
Finally the casting couch which is rampant in music album industry is a subject matter which is well dwelt in the sting operation. Here comes the revealation from the director, watch out for the pitfalls of interpretation, a consensual sex can be potrayed as sleaze, and how the media is hungry to elaborate the episode to enhance their TRP’s. Loki (Henry Tangri), music album singer and director pulls of his role with aplomb of a professional. Naina ( Arya Devdutta ) is the model who is involved in casting couch. Now the story takes an interesting turn. Watch the movie if you are interested to know the nitty gritties.
LSD a movie from the Balaji Banner is a bold film, which attempts to wake up the public from stupor, and belief that seeing alone is not believing altogether. If you have to probe, than you should know the inside story, i mean both sides of a coin. A la Nitya ananda episodes in the making according to me. Full marks to Dipankar Banerjee for dwelling on such controversial subject matter of MMS. Thank you sweet desire for the SMS alert, i enjoyed the movie equally so no ? of refunds.
