^ Why though?
If you are not the intended conusmer then you can skip it. We have to realise there is a ready market for everything and this is business which run on the Demand Supply concept as long as it doesn't question morality and masturbation is not immoral, it's as normal as sex. Now I don't like most Salman khan movies so I don't watch it but I don't go around saying Band karo ye Salman Khan movies. Culture kharab kar rahe ho. LOL.

I have not seen Blackmail so I cannot comment on it.

Veere Di Wedding and Lust stories both show female masturbation. In both cases it shows women as human beings with sexual desires. In both cases it shows women as being in control and having complete agency over their bodies in fulfilling their sexual desires. The overall narrative around both of them shows that women deserve to have their desires understood, respected, and fulfilled. Both cases had a place in the narrative of the film.

Item songs in most situations have no place in the narrative of the film. They are inserted in there for gratuitous purposes of titillating the audience and providing them with eye candy. Women are often portrayed as sexual objects. They do not have complete agency or authority over their bodies Their desires and aspirations do not matter. They are there for the sole purpose of satisfying the male gaze.

It is a subtle but important difference that sadly people do not get.

Now I personally do not have a problem with item songs. They exist because there is a market for it. The women in these item songs are acting out of their own free will. However, in a country like India where consent is not truly understood or choices are not respected. People object to item songs because of their potential to worsen existing issues in India.
