Lust Stories 3 trailer teases four takes on love, desire and marriage

Netflix has released the trailer of Lust Stories 3, the latest instalment in its anthology franchise about love, desire and complicated relationships. The new edition brings together filmmakers Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj, with actors including Konkona Sen Sharma, Radhika Apte, Aditi Rao Hydari, Radhika Madan, Vijay Varma and Abhishek Banerjee.The anthology is set to premiere on Netflix on September 18.The trailer moves between the four stories, with the characters finding themselves in awkward, intimate and sometimes funny situations.Aditi Rao Hydari appears to be at the centre of one of the stories. In one scene, she explains that women are not like light bulbs that can simply be switched on and off. She compares them to candles, saying they "don't simply burn, we melt". Later, she is seen telling her students that vulgarity depends on the writer's intention and aesthetics. The exchange is followed by a more suggestive conversation. Another story features Radhika Madan and Ali Fazal as a married couple dealing with frustration in their relationship. When Radhika tells Ali that he needs to invest if he wants returns, he responds that he has already given up his life and got married. She then asks whether he did her a favour by marrying her.The anthology also appears to play with humour and misunderstandings. Konkona Sen Sharma and Radhika Madan also share a funny exchange in another sequence. Konkona asks Radhika if she is ready for "fireworks", referring to what Min and Jin are doing. Radhika points out that they are in Kandivali, not Korea. The trailer also introduces Gurfateh Pirzada and Sana Thampi as Karan and Lisa. Their brief introduction plays with the language barrier. Siddharth and Aditi are seen sharing a more intimate dynamic. In one scene, Siddharth asks Aditi why she is "burning up", while another exchange has him saying that her ride is ready as he gets his bike ready. Aditi then asks him why he does not show the same dedication when it comes to getting his wife ready.There is also a playful exchange involving Konkona, Abhishek Banerjee and Vijay Varma. Konkona asks Abhishek whether he is only good at wrapping or can unwrap too. The trailer ends on a playful note with a line about everything getting swapped in the water, with left becoming right and right becoming left.The four stories are directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj, each bringing a different approach to the anthology.Lust Stories 3 premieres on Netflix on September 18.- EndsPublished By: shweta keshriPublished On: Sep 9, 2026 11:24 IST
