What is lust? A casual Google search led me to this definition: “to have an intense desire or need: to crave, specifically : to have a sexual urge”. In other words, it is less about having sex, more about the to have sex. Only Konkona Sen Sharma’s delightfully pervy episode in captures this sense of the forbidden. It’s called , and it shows a mirror. What are we – the audience – if not watchers, voyeurs? We see things happening on a screen, big or small, and get our kicks. Here, the “screen” is a literal mirror, and the reflection is that of a couple having sex. To extend the movie-metaphor further, they are the “actors” and the “audience” is someone else. Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash play the two women – house owner and domestic help – whose lives get intertwined. They are stunning, as is the film.
