Animal to Gehraiyaan - Intimate movie scenes that went viral

From action to romance to comedy, our Bollywood movies have it all. Often, as part of the narrative, intimacy is an important part of the script and is needed to move the story ahead. While the entire cast and crew make all efforts to make such scenes look aesthetic on screen, they do become the talking point amongst cinema lovers. We take a look at some such scenes....

Ranbir Kapoor's latest release, 'Animal,' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has made a colossal impact at the box office, raking in a staggering Rs 61 crore on its opening day nationwide. The massy film, revolving around the relationship between a father and son, has garnered positive reviews despite its elements of bloodshed, violence, and certain controversial scenes.

While the song 'Hua Main' hinted at an intense love story between Ranbir Kapoor and leading lady Rashmika Mandanna, leaked scenes from the movie are generating buzz due to their intimate nature. One particular scene featuring Ranbir Kapoor and actress Triptii Dimri has gone viral, showcasing an intense moment where Ranbir's character, Balwir Singh II, shares an intimate connection with Triptii's character. This has sparked controversy as Ranbir's on-screen love interest, Rashmika Mandanna, is also a central character in the film. The scene, depicting Ranbir lying on a bed with Triptii, has left fans shocked and intrigued about the complex relationships portrayed in the movie.

The trailer of "Gehraiyaan" had captured the audience's attention not only for its gripping storyline, but also for the electrifying chemistry between Siddhant Chaturvedi and Deepika Padukone. The duo's on-screen connection, described as killer, is not merely the result of acting prowess, but had been carefully curated by intimacy director Dar Gai. Dar Gai openly discussed the process of building chemistry between Deepika and Siddhant, ensuring that it appears natural and authentic on screen. The significance of an intimacy director was highlighted by director Shakun Batra during the trailer launch, emphasizing the importance of creating a connection between the audience and the relationship portrayed between Deepika and Siddhant in the film.

Bhumi Pednekar, who embarked on her Bollywood journey with "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" (2015), has since become a sought-after actress. She recently shared insights into her experiences filming intimate scenes in the anthology "Lust Stories." In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhumi revealed feeling nervous before shooting a 'full-throttle' scene set in a room full of people. Her role as Sudha, a house help entangled in a complex situation with her employer (Neil Bhoopalam), presented challenging intimate scenes, and Bhumi candidly discussed the apprehension she felt while approaching those moments on screen.

Tamannaah Bhatia stirred controversy as she engaged in bold scenes for her role in Lust Stories 2, though opposite real-life boyfriend Vijay Varma. The actress, breaking her longstanding no-kiss policy for the first time in her 18-year career, did not shy away from intimate scenes. Photos and videos of these sensual scenes have surfaced online, leaving fans, particularly in the South, in a state of shock.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their disappointment, reminding Tamannaah of her previous commitment to maintaining certain boundaries in her career. Some questioned the reason behind her decision to break the policy, and criticism surfaced for her choice to perform intimate scenes, with some fans expressing their discontent.

Emraan Hashmi's ascent to stardom was marked by his role in Anurag Basu's "Murder," alongside Mallika Sherawat. The film gained notoriety for its intimate scenes, contributing to Emraan's "Serial Kisser" moniker. However, behind the scenes, Emraan and Mallika's relationship was far from harmonious.

The discord surfaced when Emraan labeled Mallika as his worst onscreen kiss during an episode of Karan Johar's chat show. Adding fuel to the fire, when asked about what he might find in Mallika's bedroom, Emraan quipped, "An Idiot's Guide to Succeed in Hollywood." This candid revelation on the chat show unveiled the contrasting dynamics between the onscreen heat of "Murder" and the offscreen cold vibes between the two actors.
