Shakeela

The movie 'Bhachelors' triggered the trend of semi porn films in the name of 'Youth Films'. The above named film banked on the natural instinct of college going guys to tease girls and mutter the filthy language. And, in the climax, these kinds of film deliver a message after showing all the scum.

In the past, Malayalam film industry was known for sex films. At that point of time, IV Sasi was famous for doing these soft porn films. He made lots of films with a heroine Seema, whom he married later. IV Sasi crossed 100 films mark eight years back. Another director called S Gopala Krishna was also famous for his frequent x-rated films. Later on, a director named Shankat Nair used to mix horror with sex and make his brand mark film. In 1990 onwards, with the advent of good directors like Joshi, Shazi Kailas and Madhu, the Malayalam film industry welcome action-oriented films. Vasudeva Nair and Adoori Gopala Krishnan did terrific art films and grabbed many awards. At this point of time, Malayalam film industry over took Bengali film industry for producing good art cinema.

In the last year, the sex movie trend rocked Malayalam Industry and the resonance is felt in Telugu movie industry through the dubbed malayali sex films. Kameswari, having Shakela, is the film that opened the floodgates for the sex movies. The dubbing right for this film was below 1 lakh. By the time the first copy was ready, the producer has spent 5 lakhs. And he made a profit of 20 lakhs in that film.

After seeing the Kameswari success, all the B grade producers grabbed the Telugu dubbing rights of all Shakeela films released in Kerala. Kerala films producers demanded 6 lakhs a film as the dubbing right for Telugu producers. The total cost of productions escalated to 10 lakhs per film. A couple films did well, but all the other Shakeela films bombed at box office. The audiences got fed up with these films that offered no variety.

A few Telugu producers signed Shakeela for straight Telugu sex films. Shakeela charged a lakh a day for shooting. Other Telugu producers went for alternatives like Maria, Swetha, Reshma and Anuradha. All these films revolve around a single point. The wife goes for extramarital affair when the husband fails to satisfy her sexual needs. The theater owners also insert some independent sexually implicit scenes pictured on some other actors in the screening to spice it up. But in the present scenario, where they can see Mtv Grind and FTV on TV every night, there are no takers for this sex films anymore.

The hottest sex super star turns in to damp squib in a span of a year, because of over exposure.
