Dare To Bare

“Parda na uthao parde me rahein ne do
Parda nashi ko beparda na kar du to…….”

………Then that film hits the blockbuster and now a days it’s become the ‘mantra’ for the silver screen to achieve the success agenda. All credit goes to our silver screen Divas who had exposed themselves not for show off but for blockbuster. These actresses changed the conception of entire film freternity As all we know at the time earlier the heroines were appeared on screen, wore saree, ghagra-choli but now it’s better to forget all those fashion now the actresses are becoming very much comfortable to wear short-sufficient clothes. If you think that it had destroyed the heritage of Indian culture, then you are thinking to be an awkward audience ,because today’s divas aren’t unstoppable and they’re moving with the  time and this transformation create a new, flourishing and modern silver screen for us. For this as a woman I salute them to their boldness and dedicate them through my article.


In India now a days we have thought that now the society, their thinking & the scenario are changing specially we think that the ancient concept about the difference between the girl & boy are the past but the true fact is still in somewhere this concept is alive and for this India is not fully modern country. And in this confused stage the silver screen divas show their gallantry to the film-lover by showing their bold & sensuousness without any awkwardness. criticizer have criticized on this but these Divas as well as these women will never stop and they move and move forward unless they will achieve the Everest of success like the superhero.



 


The old but gold divas not always wore the “sati-savitri” dress, sometime they also wore some bold costume and especially on that time in the item song some actresses like Aroona Iirani, Helen they also showed their sensuousness in front of the audiences. Don’t forget that in the silver screen the Patoudi-begam Sharmila Tagore was the first Indian actress to wear a bikini in “An Evening in Paris”, in 1967 then Praveen Babi, Zeenat Aman, Dimple Kapadia also wore bikini so what’s the big deal! It is also the factors to hit the blockbuster along with to hit the heart of audiences.

 

Now gradually I will present a detail about the Divas who  are not alarmed to bare in front of us. So let’s go, at first take a look on the boldness of the old beauty.


The “Bobby” girl Dimple Kapadia,on her first movie she surprisingly appeared in sex avatar by wearing bikini & first to last she wore blouse &bobby print short skirt which made Ms. Kapadia one of the most sex iconic. Not only this, she also showed in topless in the film “Saagar”.so this girl not to be ashamed at all to bare infront of audience.

·         
Now let’s talk about the most talented & gorgeous Rekha.In Her films like Utsav(1985 &,Astha(1997)she appeared as a prostitute &in both of the film her bed scene with Sekhar Suman in Utsav & with Om and Naveen Nischol in Astha was the not vulgar but on that time these scene made  controversy

   
    
     Kama sutra-A tale of love (1996) this film was the most erotic on that time. The lead actress Sarita Choudhury & Indira Varma darely showed the heterosexuality & homosexuality but although the erotic scene was banned by government but we must hats-off to those two girls.


After Kama Sutra the audiences were familiar about the term ‘lesbian’,& in the film “Fire”(1996)the most talented Shabana Azmi & Nandita Das were  portrayed as a lesbian couple in that film.


Well not actress Mandakini who appeared in the film “Ram Teri Ganga Maili Ho Gayee” (1985) & the scene where she bathed and her body show after the white saree became transparent. And the scene which are very holy in the world but in this film the scene was surprisingly showed, the scene when Mandakini showed her breast when she fed her baby.
           
 So we had noticed that the past  but never the last Divas were not in backfoot to bare their physics because on that time & still now the script need this effort but one different is on  that time those actresses show their boldness rarely & not erotically but in preset day’s actresses show there body openly without any hesitation & they have not any regret to do this because “jo dikhta hain,wohi bikta hain” so let’s check today’s scenario of today’s actress.


So let’s talk about the hottest Murder girl Mallika Sherawat who first seen in the suspense with adult movie Murder & everyone perplexed to watch that brave girl who bravely done those sex-scene with Emraan Hasmi.Not only one film she has continuously uncovered with little bit dress in Khawahish, Hiss and so on.


"Mahebooba o Mahebooba" which is the famous item performance done by the dance queen Helen in Sholay & this performance also done by mallika Sherawat in "Aag".In sholay we saw the bold Helen in that item But Mallike was much bold than Helen Ji in same performance in "Aag".Let's take a look----







Neha Dhupia, the most sizzling actress in Bollywood, she has done Sheesha & Julie types of film in which she was half naked and done bed-scene .I also refer the name of Udita Goswami who is all set to woo her co-actor Anuuj Saxena in Jag Mohan Mundhra’s “Chase”And done some sex scene in “Paap” with the Hot & Macho John Abraham.



In the blockbuster film of 2012 “The Dirty Picture”Vidya Balan break all the hesitation &limitation of Indian actresses.She try to level best to copy the feel of famous South Indian actresses Silk Smitha who noted for her erotic role.Vidya is uninhibited in expressing her sexuality in that film & her expression was much more sensuous than her half cover body And she were enjoyed to do this film & she didn’t care the controversies which occurred around this dirty picture.


 Where the Bolly Diva are baring their dress for hit the films then why the Bong actresses are backing out? No they aren’t.


                                             We watched that Moon Moon sen was the sexiest women in Bengali movie ,but Paoli Dum the young girl continuously made surprised the audiences through her daring step, she did the most erotic film made by Srilakan Director Vimukthi Jayasundara in which she had done the sex scene just like porn clip, although the film is not release in India but most of the net user saw this clip on You tube and she is not halt abruptly, the bold picture of the film “Hate Story” of her learn us that no boundary are exist for today’s silver screen’s Divas.


           Now I have to focus on south Indian actresses who are as bold & sensuous as bolly divas & bong Divas. Actually they are continuously exposed herself gallantly. Actress like Shweta Menon, Sakshi Shivanand, Shobana are showing their boldness in many films which has accepted & enjoyed by people but the oomph of Silk Smitha  to whom the bolly diva copied in her film “The dirty picture” is done those scenes which most erotic than boldness & this is to be criticized & I agree that in South Indian films the actresses are doing their job but sometimes their boldness has been unpleasant but as a woman I salute for their daring contribution in silver screen.

Watch the difference of appeal & costume of Padmini in "Mera Naam Joker" & Vidya Balan in "The Dirty Picture"

 



 

I’m a woman and I am not hesitated to watch these types of film doing by  the bold and sensuous actresses because now a days the film industry has changed tremendously & in this changing modern environment it’s obvious for those Divas to took this bold step and I’m not surprised when I saw the scene of Vidya Balan in “The Dirty Picture” and Paaoli Dam’s half nude picture in “hate story” because it is the factor, factor of success, factor of hit the blockbuster, factor of modernism and this is the factor which teach us that whatever the censor board has thought and whatever the critics has criticized the erotic but truth, the shameful but hit fact is that “film shirf  tin chiso se chalta hein entertainment,entertainment & entertainment…..” and I must rewrite this line in my own term that “film shirf tin cheeson se chalte he item song, adult scene aur chote kapde”---- and rememder the result of these factors is sensuousness…So hats off to all of the Divas.
