Winds of change
Bollywood has undergone some serious revival and in the words of the world has become BOLD; Bold in the sense now they show a kiss as a kiss without reason but still, they show Indian chicks in actual bikinis and not trunks and banyans like they earlier did, Also they even talk about SEX like a word you can use on screen and not feel the burden of betraying morality, Good amount of movies also show love making scenes at least so you should guess from the expressions on the womans face which says either “Retake Please” Or “Mr. Director no retake on this on please”. Our hunks try too hard onscreen.
The lip locking bug that stung bollywood since the last 4-5 years, has fostered in an era of liberation for artists so every time there is a conscious effort to make the script demand a lip locking scene irrespective of what’s happening in the background. If only Raj Kapoor lived to see this day, Hugh Hefner would have been less popular besides battling a hostile takeover of his playboy empire by a Desi Playboy. Coming back to the lip locking here’s a coincidence I cannot miss, both Lord Kisser and Lady Kisser of our generation have ape like Jaw lines: Imraan Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat, So Murder the movie was More like Brother Sister from a different mother in bed together . Not nice, our culture does not approve but then they only protest the art of obscenity.
Now to the Bikini, after Raj Kapoor a couple of decades missed the aesthetics of swim wear especially the bikini. Attempts were made to somehow get women in swim suits so the late 80’s to early 90’s ensured every actresses’ debut had her showing some skin usually in the boring one piece swim suit the trend then was to grab the lime light and next time on make the same thing pricy. Much similar to how software companies today give free trials and then make you pay a bomb. Anyways coming back on track women have grown from voluptuous to slim so swim wear has moved from covering to now blending. All pre release rumours and hoards of stories do rounds of channels and tabloids of the love making scenes and how a particular actress has very comfortably executed the script. What they don’t tell you is what you don’t want to see, like, when Mallika Sherawat Starrer Khwaish was due for release all campaigns yelled the 14 odd kissing scenes, for this I so wanted to watch the film, what the campaigns dint tell is, I’d have to see Himanshu Mallik in Underwear also,
that is something I wouldn’t want to do at gunpoint; Still Five stars for Marketing. When tashann was due for release the idea of seeing kareena kapoor in a bikini send goose bumps to atleast half a billion Indians, but when they movie released the anorexia pretty much killed the excitement.
In almost all movies released in the last couple of years Kissing scenes and Bikini clad chicks make headlines before they crystallise on the release dates, now a day’s even political wings have stopped protesting, Nobody can afford malls and multiplexes running out of business.
Beyond chicks bollywood has become bold when it comes to Pakistan, After Border they’ve shown a neighbouring hostile nation as Pakistan unlike tehelka (1992) when the neighbouring hostile nation was a small hamlet called DONGRILLA ruled by a dictator called DONG whose commanders conversed with each other with one party raising the right hand to say BOM CHICK BOM BOM and the other with the same enthusiasm replied by LONG LIVE DONG.
