Meet and Greet: Bollywood’s Long-Term Tryst With ‘Sexy’ & ‘Nude’

Turns out, the 2000s did not usher in kalyug.

‘Sexy’.

Shh! Don’t read that word out loud. That’s not very becoming of you.

Now, be very, very careful before you choose to add a suffix to the word ‘sexy’.

Filmmaker Sanal Kumar Sasidharan received a letter on Tuesday from the Central Board of Film Certification, ordering him not to exhibit S Durga (earlier called Sexy Durga) as the board would need to re-examine the film.

Earlier, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry too had made its reservations crystal clear. The staunch watchmen had pulled out the Malayalam movie and a Marathi movie, Nude, from the 48th edition of a film festival in Goa this month.
