  Bollywood in India has long been known for its chaste storylines and 
traditional song and dance routines. But now, the Hindi film industry, 
based in Bombay (Mumbai), is set to release a clutch of daring, 
sexually-explicit films. These include Oops, a film about the shadowy 
world of Indian toy boys or male strippers. And there are others that 
focus on the newly self-confident Indian career woman, who is definitely 
not coy about sex. But not every one is impressed. With Bollywood 
reeling from the worst financial crisis in its history, many believe 
it's just a money-making gimmick - and bad for traditional Indian family 
values as well.
