Why shud boyz have all the fun...2

Sequels ka zamaana hai...u had Dhoom2 , Lage Raho Munnabhai, Golmaal Returns, Phir Hera Pheri, Sarkaar Raj, et al............tht's a recent phenomenon in Bollywood; Hollywood has been there n done tht for years now....

But it is not this 'sequel' thing tht prompted me to write a sequel to my previous post....hua aisa ki, i had not watched Dev D till then, n after having it, i was tempted to add to my thots expressed in the last post, 'coz it came very close to wht i was trying to put across....

I wud call the maker of this movie a braveheart, for reasons more than one...... it proudly potrayed women as sexual beings, as much as men, without being derogatory....how menacingly flirtatious is it for a heroine to carry a mattress all the way on a bicycle and invite the hero to make it out in the fields and literally 'toot padna' onto him, there's nothin' sinful 'bout it.... n Mahie Gill rocked...and not just the heroine, the other girl (a certain Rasika in the movie) sends an open invite to him for some fun in the murghi ghar, n absolutely makes no bones 'bout it.......

In which hindi movie before this one has a hero asked the heroine for a nude pic of hers and she complies with an equal fervour? is tht crass or vulgar? i think tht's 'liberating' in the true sense of the word...it's ok for love n lust to peacefully co-exist 'coz they aren't sworn enemies, love doesn't lose its purity or truthfulness if u lust for ur partner, sexuality has been n wud always remain an essential part of a man-woman relationship tied by so-called 'love'.........

Sexuality is as old as humanity itself...why shy away from it? why talk 'bout it in hushed whispers? why associate it with a nagging sense of guilt? why mix it with morality? It's just a matter of seeing it in the right perspective..tht's it.............

  1. abosolutel right. in a country of billion plus, we actually shy away from talking about sex. and its really funny when men think girls cant and should not talk about sex and sexuality, their preferences and their rights in the bed!!!!i mean hello doesnt it take two to tango???? i loved dev d for the sheer fact that its shown a modern indian woman who knows and talks about sex and is not apologetic about.
