Roses are red, violets are blue. Sex can be dangerous, but love can be too, Love Games, proudly proclaims. Intriguing? Definitely. There is something, prohibitively delicious about an erotic film. This is a world where characters feel each other up with their hands and knock each other down with their words. If it makes you uncomfortable, or leaves you disturbed, it has only done its job. We take a look at some of Bollywood's fleshy fare, bubbling, deliriously sinful and vibrating with eroticism, in this lacerating seven-question quiz, bursting with kink and lust.
1. The sovereign of smooches, meets the kissing king in this erotic thriller about the conventions of a typical bored housewife that falls for a charming man with disastrous results.

2. An unhappy alcoholic lawyer meets a seductive heiress and the backwaters of Pondicherry begin to steam and sizzle. The dusky Bong-bombshell headlined this flick, sexy as hell, adding murder, to marital infidelity. But femme fatale love is all about lascivious blackmail and incurable immoral. An incisive study of sex as a playground for manipulative power games, where eventually, everyone is screwing each other and screwing each other over. This flashy, film noir styled romance, was perfectly complimented by music maestro MM Kreem's haunting melodies.

3. A 15-year-old boy feels sexually drawn towards his much older neighbor when he sees her coming out of her bath, Rear Window style, her hair dripping wet. It's creepy. And heartbreaking. He feels jealous when he catches her making love to her boyfriend. An unnatural obsession begins, evoking in their twisted relationship, an unsettling reality, that privacy, like love is just an delusion. The film created some controversy when its lead heroine asked for a court order to stay the release of the film pending deletion of some shots she found to be objectionable claiming, illegitimate use of a body double. The film is an adaptation of Krzysztof Kie?lowski's A Short

4. Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned. A business tycoon, blackmails an innocent girl, all parts sleazy and repellent and destroys her like. She, hell bent with vengeance, makes it her sole purpose to turn the tables on him. Before the release of this film, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) ordered the sex scenes in the movie to be reduced by 50 per cent. The film spawned two equally debauched sweaty and steamy sequels with a fourth part under production.

5. A dejected girl with starry dreams becomes a high class hooker eventually falling in love with a millionaire. Disguised as a precise and damning indictment of feminist social steeplechases, but as tawdry as used panties, this one ended up being a spectacularly sleazy send-up to carnal cravings. The title of the movie, was inspired by a famous song, and also served as the character name for the lead girl. One of those films for which the phrase 'guilty pleasure' was invented.

6. The film is loosely based on Ismat Chughtai's 1942 story, Lihaaf (The Quilt). It became the first mainstream film in India to explicitly show homosexual relations between two women, making this a sharp-social commentary, about an emotional oddity. The film successfully challenged permeating pigeonholes vis-a-vis the politics of physical passion. After its 1998 release in India, a variety of right-wing groups staged several protests, setting off a flurry of public dialogue around issues such as homosexuality and freedom of speech.

7. Sly, torrid and tantalizingly wicked, this is a story about a reluctant pornographic writer who aspires to be a litterateur. Inspired by the anonymous author of popular Indian pulp fiction, known only, by his prurient penname, this understated erotic thriller lived out its protagonist's chapters in fits of teasing and eroticism. Devilishly inventive, the narrative baited the viewer with its saucy screenplay dipping with sex-sweat hopelessness, role-playing masala, saas-bahu simulation and eccentric, small-town-culture soaked in a world of virtual-reality escapes, alter-bhabhi egos, sexual fetishes and rabbit-hole trips – available at a bookstand, on a local platform near you.
