SEX Sells

How many times, damn how many times have you heard them..on the television, on the tabloids, splashed on the pages of the daily newspaper and here, there and everywhere, these two words..SEX sells..the VHP and Shiv Sena Sainiks opposing it, and Mahesh Bhatt and troop defending it. Mahesh Bhatt screaming out his lungs to state that," Yes, I want to watch pornography, so who'll stop me!!". Well, the man has got a point. Man, I mean..India is a democracy, at least we say it so. But in the name of democracy, what we get is Moral Police monitoring over each one of us. Who the f#$k are they to do so? Well, I got carried away. The point is , in the land of KamaSutra, is it really a big deal to watch a couple doing the most natural thing in the world.
But then, when it comes to the creative aspect of Cinema, are we really getting sensible cinema, or is it just a sleaze-fest..in the face Soft Porn with Wet-Saris, Shower Scenes, and Satin flowing over Flawful Obese South Indian "Actresses". I mean, consider Hollywood. Was Titanic a huge grosser because of the nude painting scene of Kate Winslet. The Answer is a big NO. Take any other movie for instance in Hollywood. There nudity and issues of sensuality are dealt with so much sophistication, and movies which do not believe in this, bomb at the Box Office. e.g. Barb Wire..need I say any more.
So, the bottom line is, for the sake of raking in some cheap money, these even more cheap filmmakers won't hesitate to cut down some costume bills from the Movie Production and add into the Water Works. All in the name of Show Business. And yes, SEX does Sell.
