Bollywood seems to have its first hit of the year in a film that is
candid about bodily passions. Jism, which opened to long queues on
January 17, may have delivered a winning formula to the Hindi film
industry -- sensual yet sensitive takes on erotica. Despite some poor
reviews, the small-budget Rs 3.5-crore film has clung to its rock steady
position at the box-office and is expected to make sizeable profits for
Fisheye Network.
Sexual promiscuity is being explored increasingly as a theme. The trend
will perhaps climax this year when Pankaj Parasher unleashes his own
version of Basic Instinct, one of Hollywood's most erotic thrillers that
catapulted Sharon Stone to superstardom.
