Sunny Leone Likes Jism Too

Posted by bsriter in Blog

When I think of jism, I usually think about the stuff on the floor of a porn viewing booth and the poor fucker whose job it is to mop it up. So, when I heard that Indo-Canadian Porn Star extraordinaire, Sunny Leone was going to star in a Bollywood film titled “Jism 2”, I automatically think that this is a movie in which the cum is really going to fly and Sunny was going to be there to mop it up.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

It turns out that Jism is not only the sticky stuff pooling on your significant other’s back, it is also the Hindi word for “Body”, which kind of makes sense when you think about it. So after translation, the movie that Sunny Leone just recently signed up to do is really “Body 2” ,making it not some Indian Porn with lots of money shots, but rather a mainstream Bollywood thriller being produced by Indian film heavyweight Mahesh Bhatt.

Cum just don’t fly in India

It turns out the reason why an Indian director can come out with a move titled Jism and not have the country thinking it is some porn, is because hardcore porn is illegal in this little country of 750 million people. While India does not necessarily have porn police busting into homes to look for secret porn stashes and jerking teenagers, it still has laws on the books making it illegal to distribute hardcore porn in stores or even online. While you can still find bootleg copies of Porn on the streets of Calcutta as well as on the cellphones of certain Indian Politicians , getting caught with it could mean a heavy fine and even the possibility of jail time (take that Alabama).

This is why Sunny’s appearance on the popular Television Show “Big Boss” was so controversial. Unlike Americans, who accept porn stars into their homes with open arms, revealing yourself as a porn star to a bunch of Indian roommates is kind of like telling a room full of Vegans that you happen to be a butcher who really likes their job. You are certainly going to get some stares and whispers.

Stares and whispers aside, it does appear that Sunny’s motherland has warmed up to the Indo-Canadian-American Beauty despite the fact that she is a “Blue Film” star. In fact, it seems that the forbidden path that Sunny chose to take has actually helped with her exposure in the country, making “Jism 2” one of the most anticipated Bollywood events of this year.

Soft Core

While straight up cum flying pornography is illegal in India, soft core films like the crap you find on the Lifetime Movie Network late at night is acceptable. In fact, it would be a safe bet that soft core films that are forced to have a story line and severely edited sex scenes are a booming business within the porn deprived country. This was what probably made the first “Jism” film which was basically an erotic twist on “Double Indemnity” such a smash hit way back in 2003. While not exactly as controversial as Sharon Stone’s beaver shot in Instinct, Jism was very explicit by Bollywood standards. For this reason,it really captured the country’s attention. It was believed to help kick start a new erotic film trend in Bollywood and help pull the film industry out of a bit of a slump that it was going through. It also helped make the career of both the director Bheet and the stunning star Bipasha Basu.

Getting Harder

Just like how the state of Utah can boast the highest percentage of online porn viewers, the country of India has also displayed a healthy interest in porn despite the country’s traditional prurient stance on the matter. The current popularity of porn stars like Sunny Leone in the country is further proof that the Indo culture is started to soften up (pun kind of intended) its stance towards hard core pornography. While Jism 2 will probably not feature any B/G anal penetration shots (check out Sunny Leone’s “Goddess” for that) you can be damn sure that it will be featuring Sunny in many erotically charged sex scenes that would have been unheard of in Bollywood a decade ago. This is a good sign that the film industry in India is growing up a bit while still clinging on to their song and dance numbers.

Sunny Leone is currently busy working out and learning as much as she can about the Hindi language and Indian culture as she can. “Jism 2” is being helmed by Pooja Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter) and is excepted to be released sometime this summer. I am not sure when you will be able to find it on Netflix.
