If kissing is so taboo, even same sex is big deal

I hope it never happens.

Kissing scenes is not what bollywood needs to grow up lol

Just because Hollywood does something, it doesn't mean we need to do it too. I don't think it would necessarily show any maturity or open-mindedness for two actresses to smooch at an award show.

However, I do think we need to grow out of the whole "sex is bad" mindset. Sex is natural and so is kissing and it's about time our movies were able to portray that in a classy way. We made a feeble attempt at portraying lesbianism in Girlfriend but that ended up more like a sleazefest than actual cinema. I thought Parineeta actually had a very well-portrayed so-called sex scene. Movies like Kurbaan, Jism and several more have been able to portray sexuality in a subtle, erotic way without it looking like po*nography so I think we're getting there. It'll just take some time.

bollywood cant be hollywood sooo and that is madonna she is unique no one can do wat she does cause she is the best at it that is historyyyy wow it was one helll of wonderful performance of themmmm 👏

and kissing has nathing to do with sexxxxxxxxxxx

one thing i dont understand is why u make topic where u always compare bollywood with hollywood

bollywood got a different culture n audience...dey wont accept mayb comically bt.... nt ny serious attempt...>>>>>

sigh**....leave bollywood as it is....its famous because its cheesy..😆 ...we all kno sex and kissing is a part of life....but I feel such intimate and private details are better off not shown in muvies....they become too commercial and lose their importance and worth. And as for the "growing up", it is to do with acknowledging sex and kissing as a part of life, not necessarily to do with indulging in them. Sexual themes are very much accepted in our movies (Hello!! Dev d, LSD,Jism, ishqiya anyone??)...so Bollywood has "grown up".. but the explicit depiction of sex seems unnecessary to me and to a large section of the audience. I dunt get how showing a sex scene can be "important to the story" or for any other purpose apart from titillation...the sexual act can be shown implicitly and people would still follow the story... Its better to leave certain things to the imagination anyway, according to me.

That said, bollywood is pretty hypocritical. Showing a woman in a saree under the rain doing suggestive dances is just a more "conservative" substitute for depicting sex. I feel filmakers want to venture into that zone, but fear losing a large segment of the audience (namely "family audience" and "women"), thereby affecting the box office collections. At the end of the day, it is all abt business!
