sex sells

Of course, after working on the equivalent of a literary treatment for a film (combination magic-realism and other tropes, if you can believe it), I discover that nearly two-thirds of new Indian films have recieved an "A" rating for adult content.

In other words, the very common sex flicks you'd find any time in the Philippines are gaining ground in India. These adult Indian films (shown in theatres) show kissing on the mouth and simulated copulation, which are rather passe by Philippine standards.

Their poster girl? The luscious Mallika Sherawat, who debuted in last year's "Khwaish" ("Desire").

Mallika: God has given me a great body and I will show it off. If you don't want to see it, don't.

Ay-yay-yay.
