LSD: Love, Sex aur Dhokha

In a world saturated with hidden lenses, the film unfolds through the grainy, handheld perspectives of everyday cameras—security feeds, camcorders, and covert devices—that capture intimate moments as if the audience were silently watching from the shadows. The three interlaced segments each explore a different facet of human desire, using the raw aesthetic of amateur footage to blur the line between documentary and drama, while maintaining a tone that feels both invasive and strangely compassionate.

The first story follows Rahul, an aspiring filmmaker whose passion for Bollywood collides with the ambitions of Shruti, a young woman from a newly affluent but traditional family. Their creative partnership quickly becomes a delicate negotiation of love, artistic vision, and familial expectations, set against the backdrop of a bustling city where every gesture can be recorded and replayed.

In the second segment, Rashmi works long hours in a supermarket, supporting her family while dreaming of a brighter future. She encounters Adarsh, a store supervisor whose own pressures push him toward risky choices. Their uneasy rapport evolves amidst the constant presence of surveillance, highlighting the tension between private longing and the ever‑watchful eyes of a society that never truly turns away.

The final tale introduces Prabhat, an investigative reporter who relies on hidden cameras to expose hidden truths, and Naina, an aspiring dancer determined to carve her own path. Together they navigate a world where truth and performance are intertwined, confronting the ethical gray zones that arise when the act of recording becomes an act of influence. Across all three narratives, the film’s stark visual style and omnipresent voyeurism invite viewers to question what is real, what is staged, and how desire reshapes both.
