I came across the trailer of an upcoming Bollywood flick Mastizaade this morning when a Malayalam content aggregator website shared it with a headline that translates to "Sunne Leone goes completely nude, Indian Censor Board jolted".
Trailer had released on December 23, but hadn't made it way to my timeline. Not being hypocritical about it, intrigued by what Miss Leone has "uncovered" for her desi Bollywood audience and placing my bets on Vir Das' choices, I opened the link.
Trailer begins with Vir Das and Tusshar Kapoor doing "something" to each other’s legs, and text saying "this horny season, rub it, spank it and blow it". Then came Miss Leone's towel being vacuumed and she walking towards the audience, totally nude!
Her first dialogue goes "aaj mai aap sabko khol ke dikhaana chahti hun" and her second is too direct I don't find any ambiguity in it. You should see for yourself, because I stopped watching the trailer there!
The trailer of India's first Porn-Com Kya Kool Hain Hum - 3 had released on December 15, but when it comes to vulgarity, it doesn't stand a chance in front of Mastizaade.
I would love to see how our sanskari Censor Board will censor these films, for they've, in the recent past, censored statements like "who's the state to decide that" from the critically acclaimed film Angry Indian Goddesses. I guess the whole of Mastizaade will have to be beeped, sparing couple of scenes and songs (hopefully).
I understand adult-comedy, I get slapstick humour, but this one trailer was too hot to handle (no pun intended). Till what I saw, Mastizaade trailer is filled with nudeness, adult-jokes that put adult-jokes to shame and an attempt so hard (no pun intended, again) to beat the likes of Grand Masti and Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 in terms of sexual content.
Do we really need such movies? Why not show porn instead.
In a world where a nude image is at the fingertip of minors, do we want such adult content to add to easily accessible sexual content, that too, starring people like Vir Das and Riteish Deshmukh, who have got decent fan following?
I don't think so!
