The adult content in Bollywood films is often a hot topic in the media and tends to stir up controversy. When it comes to adult Hindi films, there is a noticeable difference compared to Hollywood. Indian cinema generally takes a more conservative approach when it comes to showing affection or intimate scenes.
Bollywood filmmakers have become bolder in their filmmaking style. Kissing scenes and, at times, even lovemaking scenes have become more common in films. Unlike earlier, these scenes are no longer kept under wraps, and movies featuring such content often receive a U/A certificate instead of an A certificate.
1. Jism 2 (2012)
When director Pooja Bhatt made a promise that Jism 2 would be even more explicit compared to its predecessor, Jism, starring Bipasha Basu and John Abraham, it definitely caught people’s attention. To make the film more daring, the director cleverly cast adult movie star Sunny Leone for her debut, alongside Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh. While the film did feature lengthy sex scenes, the combination of explicit content and Sunny’s bold performance failed to captivate the audience.
2. Hawas (2004)
Although not as widely known as other thrillers from 2004, Hawas deserves a spot on our list due to its boldness. Directed by Karan Razdan, the film loosely adapts the 2002 Hollywood thriller Unfaithful. Meghna Naidu, Shawar Ali, and Tarun Arora take on the lead roles in this movie.
3. Hate Story (2012)
Director Vivek Agnihotri delighted audiences with the erotic film ‘Hate Story’. The stunning presence of Bengali actress Paoli Dam added to the allure as she portrayed passionate love scenes with different men. The movie revolves around themes of revenge and thriller, and its bold approach, explicit content, and nudity played a significant role in its box office success.
4. Murder (2004)
If there’s one actor who can pull off bold scenes with conviction in today’s time, it’s definitely the stunning Mallika Sherawat. In this 2004 film, she showcased her seductive charm to perfection. The story revolves around a passionate extramarital affair between the actress and her former flame, leading to marital complications. With its captivating theme, steamy scenes, and enchanting songs, this movie was a box office hit that left audiences enthralled.
5. The Dirty Picture (2011)
“The Dirty Picture” is a Bollywood biopic film that takes inspiration from the life of Silk Smitha, a prominent actress known for her bold performances in South Indian films. Although the movie is centered around Silk Smitha, the filmmakers have clarified that it also incorporates elements from the lives of other contemporaries, including Disco Shanti. Directed by Milan Lutharia, this film proved to be a turning point in Vidya Balan’s career, establishing her as a versatile actress. The cast also includes renowned actors Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor, and Emraan Hashmi in leading roles.
