Lust Stories 2

Made for Each Other

While Veda and Arjun's families fawn over the couple's shared interests in an arranged marriage meeting, Veda's grandmother, dadi, interrupts the discussions. She believes a passionate sex life is the key to a happy marriage, and wants to know if the couple have tried having sex. They have not, since this would be taboo before the wedding, in conservative circles. However, dadi convinces Veda it is good to have a 'test run', so that she does not regret her decision for life. Taking heed, Veda and Arjun have sex after a date night. Veda confesses to not reaching climax, so the couple keep trying until they both leave the encounter feeling satisfied. They proudly convey the news to dadi, who is happy to now give her consent to their union.

The Mirror

Ishita, a middle-aged professional, uses a mirror to spy on her housemaid, Seema, who has sex in her 'empty' apartment with her husband. Both women have made peace with the 'arrangement', though Seema's husband is unaware. One day, Ishita is forced to come out of her hiding place, and alerts the couple to her presence. The women enact a forced confrontation, and Seema is fired. She is also berated by her husband for knowingly compomising their privacy, but Seema claims she didn't have a choice as the couple share a cramped shanty with their children. Meanwhile, Ishita cannot find a new maid, as word spreads of her impropriety (voyeurism). When out shopping, both women cross paths. Ishita hires Seema back, and Seema's husband comes over the next day with Ishita 'out', signalling a return to the arrangement.

Sex with the Ex

Vijay has a strained relationship with his wife, Anu. While videocalling from his car, he crashes. He seeks help in a nearby village, where he hears a familiar voice - his ex-wife, Shanti's - who mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Shanti suggests Vijay should leave or it might "get late", but he refuses. They discuss her disappearance, and Vijay reveals he married Anu soon after, also inheriting his new father-in-law's company. He and Shanti have sex, and she mentions the pregnancy test she took before her disappearance. It comes to light that Vijay planned her death/disappearance for a better life with Anu. Shanti confronts him, but he kills her again, then escapes to his car. Outside, onlookers are removing his limp body from the crash. Shanti (her ghost) reappears; Vijay realises he has died, and starts to scream.

Tilchatta

Devyani, a former prostitute, lives in an ancestral estate with her husband, Suraj, and son, Ankur, of another partner. Suraj is a sexual predator, and Devyani hopes to be rid of him by moving abroad with Ankur. Suraj is opposed to this, so Devyani conspires to permanently escape him. She hires a new palacemaid who has HIV, knowing Suraj will rape her and inevitably get the disease. Suraj eyes the young maid, Rekha. He spends the evening outside drinking, and returns to the palace intoxicated. Meanwhile, Devyani hears loud moaning sounds coming from Rekha's room. She struggles to understand initially, but reacts in horror as realisation dawns on her. Unaware of Devyani's scheme and noticing Suraj is out, Ankur took the chance to seduce Rekha. Outside their door, Devyani realises her ill-hatched plan has ruined two lives (her and Ankur's) forever.
