New Bollywood Movie Sex Scenes 2019
Watch Now
Bollywood may be the blushing ballerina to Hollywood's brazen pole-dancing stripper, but, as the history of film censorship in India reveals, its screen stars are no stranger to the lip lock
With India being the world's biggest producer of films (around 1000 last year, twice that of America) its censor board, aka the Central Board of Film Certification, has its work cut out. It watches and certifies every film, both Indian and non-Indian, before they can be shown to the country's masses.
There is the popular misconception that Bollywood films do not show scenes of a sexual nature: they do. However, when comparing the screen time or manner in which kissing (or more "bedroomly" activity) is portrayed in Bollywood versus Hollywood, Bollywood is a blushing ballerina, whereas Hollywood is as brazen as a pole-dancing stripper.
Today, Bollywood's most successful actor (in terms of earning and award-nominations) is Shah Rukh Khan. His first movie appearance was in 1992 and he has since starred in more than 80 productions, earning the title "King of Romance". But for the first 20 years of his film career, he didn't kiss a single one of his co-stars. He had a rule: no kissing the heroine and no riding a horse. Jab Tak Hai Jaan (As Long as I Live), in 2012, was when his resolve faltered (on the kissing front at least). Whether to please director Yash Chopra, or simply taking the chance of getting closer to Katrina Kaif, we shall never know, but kiss Katrina he did – three times …
Simple osculation can still cause quite a stir in Bollywood. Films are actively marketed on the numbers of lip locks they contain. Last year's Shuddh Desi Romance traded on its rumoured 27 kisses to tempt in the audiences. With all these excitable tongues wagging, you would be forgiven for thinking it's something new on screen in India, but it's not: Anglo-Indian actress Seeta Devi became the first to pucker up in 1929 in the German-Indian production A Throw of Dice, aka Prapancha Pasha.
