It would be a crime to have a subject as bold as ALT Entertainment’s Love Sex Aur Dhokha and not to ask director Dibakar Banerjee about the controversies surrounding it. Talking about the theme of voyeurism which is the crux of his film, he says, “I made a film I believe in without the intention of creating a controversy, the controversy is an after effect.” He smirks on being questioned about an unusual title like LSD and wittily replies, “My mum was a little hesitant while pronouncing the title at a stretch.”
The title track of LSD is ruling charts all over and Dibakar is all smiles about it, “It’s a great feeling when small films that need all the publicity acquire the same on their merit, thanks to the catchy music of the film. This is the first lip-synch song I have ever used in any of my films and has an extremely intricate relationship with the movie.” Looks like everyone wants a little bit of LSD these days!
This film has been divided into three stories, each focussing on different plots pertaining to voyeurism. Hence, Dibakar feels that there was a need for fresh faces in order to portray the realism. With this film, the audience can look forward to a new approach to filmmaking as this film has been shot in a digital format where various kinds of cameras have been used to bring out the aesthetics of the digital medium on the big screen.
Since the film is slated for release on March 19, we ask Dibakar about last minute apprehensions prior to the release. “I just hope this film does not get misunderstood for being what it’s not and the desired message is conveyed to the audience,” he says. Dibakar is confident of not losing out on family audience and in fact, says that his film is a must watch for families in the modern century where parents and children are more like friends. We shall definitely pay heed to your words of wisdom Dibakar!
