“Main iss shehar ki sabse badi randi ban-na chahti hoon (I WOULD LIKE to the largest whore in town)…I f. . k folks who f…k with me. ”
These aren't lines from a blue film, but Bengali sizzler Paoli Dam’s dialogues in Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘uncensored trailer’ of Hate Story that's currently gone viral on the web.
There also are repeated sequences of Paoli going nude and a slightly unsettling shot of actor (Joy Sengupta) grabbing her upper torso.
And in the event you think that is only for the internet, then wait.
Agnihotri, actress Pallavi Joshi’s husband who has earlier made the thriller Chocolate and the football film De Dana Dan Goal, will not let the censorboard chop off any of the nudity or profanity within the trailer, not to mention the film.
Says Agnihotri, “My film isn't a type of Bollywood erotic thrillers where we see a glimpse of a bra strap or a silhouette of a woman’s underwear, or tantalizing peek on the cleavage or the thigh. My actress is nude on camera.
We’ve gone the entire way way to my lead pair Paoli Dam and Gulshan Davaiya who didn’t hesitate in getting naked for the camera.
Paoli is a profound actress without a inhibitions about her body. A UNPRECEDENTED combination. Our profound actresses are all middleaged. The last one was Kajol. ”
“Let them decide. My film is as bold because the German erotic thrillers. There’s no coyness concerning the sex act. If my heroine aspires to be a randi she says so…and why should she not?
It’s the characters that’s stripping and saying all those things. I'M unwilling to dilute the content. If the censorboard asks for the trailer to be toned down I’ll withdraw the trailer. ”
So far love-making scenes in Hindi films have always been kept under covers. We hear the rule of thumb has changed, and how!
The hot and uninhibited Bengali actress Paoli Dam already known for her no-holds-barred nudity in Bengali cinema, has apparently gone the entire way along with her co-star Gulshan Devaiya (of Shaitaan fame) in Hate Story.
Says Agnihotri, “I had explained to Paoli that I didn’t need to sham the nudity or the love-making. She understood what her character was presupposed to do.
I expected my leading man to be shy. Usually in our films it’s the male who has more inhibitions about stripping, kissing and love-making. There’s an excessive amount of performance anxiety within the male.
Gulshan was every piece as unabashed as Paoli. What we’ve captured within the film is the type of explicit love-making never seen in Hindi films. ”
Agnihotri hopes the censorboard would display as much maturity in evaluating the high erotic-content of his film because it deserves.
“This is a movie about sex and sexuality. The actors don’t fake the nudity and the love-making. In the event that they are acknowledging their authentic intentions why should the censorboard negate them?” reasons Agnihotri.
The Hate Story: The Censor Angle
We have it from reliable sources from throughout the government that the censorboard intends to make rules against putting on the web uncensored film footage from forthcoming projects.
Sources inside the censorboard feel there’s a large number of ambiguity on what will also be placed on the web without censorial intervention and at the present time the federal government is in no mood to test any flow of content lest the verdict proves unpopular.
Sources say that that Censorboard Of Film Certification is planning to very shortly raise this issue with the federal government in order that there's more clarity on whether exhibition on You Tube and similar web pages may well be included within the definition of public exhibition as defined within the Cinematograph Act.
