Obviously, it was termed unethical and the cross-generational kiss was bombarded with questions. In 2005, a kiss between Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan for Black opened a Pandora’s box of discussions. Leaving little to the imagination, Murder, did something which many movies before it did not. The 2004 movie Murder, earned Emraan Hashmi the tag of a serial kisser and his steamy scenes with Mallika Sherawat created a lot of noise. The start of a new millennium made Bollywood somehow bolder. With Karisma Kapoor and Aamir Khan’s surprising kiss in this ‘family-drama’, awkwardness took over everyone.Īnil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala too kissed each other on the silver screen in 1942: A Love Story, which released in 1994. Till Raja Hindustani of 1996, kisses were a taboo. A steamy scene between Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit got the term ‘bold’ by many. While Bollywood chose to show something as basic as a kiss using flowers, the 1988 movie Dayawan, changed it. It was even termed ‘un-Indian’ but all the controversy only helped the movie in becoming a hit.
In 1973 movie Bobby, a scantily dressed Dimple Kapadia and her chemistry with Rishi Kapoor got attention.
