Kissing? In Bollywood movies? What happened?

I’m a white guy, but I enjoy Bollywood movies. Hey, if you like musicals, India is pretty much the only country that produces them. There are some things about Bollywood movies that seem odd at first to someone raised on a diet of Hollywood films, like the apparent ban on kissing.

But the last couple of films I have seen featured kissing! Kites (the awful Brett Ratner cut) and Raajneeti (not a musical).

Is Indian society becoming more liberal, are filmmakers pushing boundaries or did I just happen to see two films that accepted an “adult” rating?

I can’t answer your question, but your question has answered my question about this music video done by the cast of The Guild:

The video is done in parody Bollywood-style, and the lyrics at one point actually say “almost kiss”.

… and now none of Bing’s videos will load for me. Page loads, but no video.
