If there is one genre in Bollywood still waiting to be exposed... err... explored to the fullest, it is that of sex comedies. There is an occasional Masti or a Kyaa Kool... that comes calling (and does well too). By and large, however, the Hindi film industry has played safe as far as credible names coming together to explore something in the style of American Pie. Moreover, in times like this, when the Censor Board is baring and gnashing its teeth like never before, even the handful of sex comedies could well be wondering about the eventual content that would be permitted to be unveiled on screen.
Mastizaade
Milap Zaveri promises to unleash some more masti for the audience. Along with Sunny Leone, he brings in partners-in-crime Tusshar Kapoor and Virr Das for Mastizaade. There was much hype generated for the film right through its shooting.
Current state: Awaiting Censor Board certificate
Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
There was a considerable gap between Kyaa Kool Hain Hum and ‘Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum’. Now for the third in the series, while Tusshar Kapoor stays on, Riteish Deshmukh has moved on as he wishes to take a break from sex comedies. Aftab Shivdasani has stepped in instead. Not much has been heard about it for a while now, considering the current embargo on anything around sex.
Current state: Slated for September 11 release. However, since no promotion has begun as yet, this date could shift.
Sonam Nair’s untitled next for Karan Johar
She started off with the sensitive yet light-hearted Gippi, which told the story of a girl in her mid-teens. Later, Sonam Nair decided to take a different route by getting into the sex comedy space. This isn’t all. She has even managed to sell the idea to Karan Johar who has greenlit it. This will be Dharma Productions first foray in the genre.
Current state: Buzz in industry circles is the film has been shelved for a while given current resistance to sex comedies. Moreover, Karan wasn’t too happy about the AIB Roast backlash either.
Saxxx Ki Dukaan.com
For Virr Das, being part of a quirky comedy isn’t something new. Now with Saxxx Ki Dukaan.com he is only going to up the ante further, what with producer Siddharth M. Jain making his intentions clear of going all the way as far as presenting this truly out-of-the-box affair on screen. A sex comedy that has Virr in a double role, the film deals with a sex-toy shop in the heart of Gurgaon, Haryana!
Current state: Complete, but waiting for the right time for release.
Great Grand Masti
With Grand Masti entering the Rs100 crore club and turning out to be the only sex comedy in this elite bracket, it was but obvious that filmmaker Indra Kumar would be making his third in the series as well. While Riteish Deshmukh has made an exception stepping into this sex comedy franchise, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani have continued without any apprehensions whatsover.
Current state: Shooting is on in full swing. Slated for November 2015 release.
