Bollywuud-- bikini or bindi???

[kushal_657]

well ... shud bollywood actressess resort to bikinis or bindis .......??

[mehulved]

I'd like both. There should be a nice mix of traditional and modern.
They should be able to carry off modern fashion with ease but at the same time should respect the values and tradition.
I don't see anything wrong in wearing clothes that show off the body parts, as long as it's not done in a vulgar manner. The person should have the personality to carry it off.
And why just restrict it to Bollywood actresses. I'd extend this to every women.

[mediator]

^^Agreed!

[Vyasram]

^^^ my stance

[eagle_y2j]

is it necessary to show off ??????

True. A person can look beautiful without showing her skin.

But there's nothing wrong in showing off too. Have it flaunt it.

Vulgarity doesn't count on the type of clothing, or lack thereof. I find many of the Bollywood movies and their dance steps quite vulgar in their expressions and stances, regardless of their clothing. OTOH, there are some western movies with quite some (necessary) nudity in there, but none of it comes as vulger or indecent.

[rahul_becks23]

the thing is......indian movies show this stuff for SHOW OFF
and................hollywood shows that stuff only if the STORY DEMANDS IT.
thats why indian cinema is hopeless.

There is one thing few of us would disagree (at least the guys), a woman's body is the most beautiful thing of nature and art in this universe. If bollywood can show it in an artistic manner it is fine and good, no problem. Bindis and bikinis shouldn't be the center of controversy and if a movie tries to use bikinis just for marketing value without plot or artistic requirements, it goes way over head. Same for frivolous PILs against PDAs and 'indecency' in movies.

Not liking scantily clad women or naked women does not make you more Indian, if that is your preference don't try to justify is by nationalism, that is just one's tastes, nothing else. We should shed the hypocrisy and realise we don't get a population of 1 billion spring out of the earth.

Perfect argument. Couldn't have put it better myself.

Other than the bold text which very remotely resembles your quote, I don't see much similarity with the rest of my post Am I missing something??? Its not a good style, its completely different point.

Exactly.

[rahul_becks23]

exactly what........? ......the curse of the blackpearl

well the bikini thing comes down how 1 defines vulgarity .... in india its a simple definition u show ur ne part of ur body tht is covered by the regional dresses of india is vulgarity .... and the only solution acc. to india is ban karo .... ban jeans they are vulgar .... ban television coz it shows ppl in less clothes .... be bikini or bindi its the mind set of the ppl (elders and our moral govt) tht think tht less clothes is vulgarity which is not the case and many will reply to this post saying tht im infected by the western bug .....

[rahul_becks23]

wtf........its our freedom that we go in underwears or eskimo-suits.

[iMav]

ya its ur freedom .... exercise it in the public and u end up in jail .... r u frm india?

[rahul_becks23]

and we do the exercise in jail too...........well , its ur freedom and our thing .

[mehulved]

These moral police will stop at nothing. Remember Shiv Sena breaking into a private party on Valentine's Day and causing damage and injuries. Why? Coz according to them celebrating Valentine's Day is against our culture.
Moral police don't see sense, they see the sensibility of the local public. And the last thing they care about is freedom.

[rahul_becks23]

hehehe

If we were to really look at Indian history showing off body is not such a vulgar thing at all. FYI check the customes at Ramayana or Mahabharata serials, look up Kama Sutra, read the Vedas. Who started all these showing-body-parts-is-vulgar? The Victorian British rule or the Mughal muslims?
