Janhvi was very good in Zoya's segment. Way way better than what she did in Dhadak. 💁🏻♂️ #GhostStories pic.twitter.com/7BJ4jjkzNl

Zoya’s story builds on you. Janhvi nails the emotions and Surekha is haunting.
1) Zoya’s one is scary at first but then kinda predictable. Jahanvi was good actually. She has good screen presence.

2) Anurag’s one, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS please someone answer them. Not scary but VERY CREEPY probably the creepiest thing I’ve ever watched. #GhostStories
Holy shit that was bad. #GhostStories on @NetflixIndia is the worst thing to happen to Indian cinema since #Dabang3 . Bad script, bad direction (except Zoya’s one, which initially did grab my attention but failed later on) bad everything. Not scary but a boring crap fest it was.

Dibakars had a few deep undertones, yes. Kashyaps had a few gory scenes. W/o a tight script none of them justify the title #GhostStories I honestly expected a lot particularly from these 2. Johars part gave unwanted comic relief.

#GhostStories it's okay types. The first one isn't that great. It's from #ZoyaAkhtar

The second is quite creepy, it's by @anuragkashyap72. This one is quite creepily awesome
Still watching. Rest to come

1. you shouldn't judge actors from their first movies
2. directors don't necessarily transcend genres because... whew the mediocrity
3. i understand the need to add complexity to scares but there's no point if you convulate the plot
The film is now available to view on the Netflix streaming services around the world. Lust Stories went on to receive an International Emmy Awards nomination in 2019.
