The Anurag Kashyap thriller tells the story of a British woman who arrives in India looking for her father. This is quite simply a film unlike any other Indian film you’ve seen. The film’s major focus is directed towards exploring the dark sides of Mumbai’s C-Grade porn-horror film industry of the 80s but sexual frustration and angst are some of the themes the film explicitly deals with. It takes a disturbing look at the very edges of society and the various lives that ordinary people with ordinary dreams and desires lead everyday. It delves deep into places we fear, places we wish never really existed. One of the most underrated Indian films of the decade, ‘Miss Lovely’ is a film of staggering ambition and authoritative vision. The story takes disturbing turns throughout with suspense and tension consuming the atmosphere and its exploration of profoundly dark themes is startlingly bold and painfully truthful. Based on The Railway Aunty’ written by Mohan Sikka, the film follows Mukesh who loses his parents in a car accident and stays with his aunt. ‘B.A Pass’ is easily one of the most important Indian films made in recent times and the way it manages to portray a flawed society and bring out the monsters in ordinary human beings is simply astounding.

No other contemporary Indian film has managed to handle sexuality with such remarkable maturity and striking truthfulness. While it may seem like a simple romantic drama on the surface, the film’s subtle, layered depiction of teenage sexual angst makes it a love story of infinite complexity and profound depths.

Aditya Seal and Manisha Koirala star in the lead roles and the film, as you’d expect, did generate controversy in India over its unusually bold depiction of sex and promiscuity. Yes! Well, in case you are still wondering, it’s a remake of the Krzyzstof Kieslowski classic ‘A Short Film About Love’. Ek Choti Si Love Story (2002)Ī 15 year old boy spies on his gorgeous neighbor and falls in love with her. It’s a very disturbing, honest portrayal of sex and how it’s still widely considered a taboo in India with women often ending up being on the “wrong” side of the act. The second segment of the film deals with sex and it follows a girl working in a supermarket who gets entangled in a complex relationship with a man who tries to take advantage of her by making a sex tape involving her and then sell it so that he can settle his debts with the loan sharks. This Dibakar Banerjee directed anthology flick tells three stories each dealing with a different theme. this is not a Indian porn movies list, by the way.

So let’s take a look at the list of top adult Indian movies about sex. And so we, at The Cinemaholic, think that it’s time to speak about this subject and get people to watching movies that are far more relevant than what mainstream Bollywood cinema churns out blatantly for the sole purpose of multiplying investments. Filmmakers in India have often struggled to express their personal views on sexuality and also to present the subject in a bold and truthful manner.
