Bollywood movies are very popular for the "Romance" depicted in their plot. Romance in Bollywood has evolved over the centuries. But the one thing that has remained constant is the official and unofficial ban on any depiction that might suggest something that is not part of “Indian” culture. Westernization has always been shown as something negative and foreign. Let's take a closer look at how Hindi cinema deals with this censorship code that has been instituted. Bollywood has adopted a new way to recreate the same passion that a 'kiss' would normally generate; they replace them with song and dance routines. The songs are basically a description of the enthusiast seen without suggestive visual images to help him. It's left up to the audience's interpretation. While there is no written ban against “kissing” scenes in Hindi cinema, acts of passion are believed to be something that is done in private and not in public. Displaying a kissing scene on screen would be considered too public. However, the movement of the lips during the singing of songs can also be related to the movement of the lips when the act of kissing occurs, and the lyrics and emphatic music create the same atmosphere, with minimal physical suggestion. Ancient Indian tradition describes women as being the gender that represents the nation. They are supposed to uphold the culture and traditions that adorn this country, and depicting them in flashy clothing and in passionate sexual scenes is tantamount to belittling the nation and its respected “tradition.” It can be noted that in Hindi cinema, the female protagonist always appears naive and innocent, while this is not always the case with men. The other women who are shown westernized are clear... middle of paper... Indian culture. However, the industry is still not as fair as it could be to women, keeping them as those who represent virtue and morality on screen. During the 20th century, films were more conservative and it could be said that Bollywood was trying to perpetuate the image of a conservative India. One where they believed that even acts of love should only be shown in private. Furthermore, they have created a social commentary in which the message spread puts women in a situation where they have to live up to some idealistic qualities, proposed by men. Even though Bollywood films are fictional, they still give an idea of ​​the social pressure that women are subjected to. Finally, the movie ban should be more severe with the real vulgarity that is depicted on screen today, rather than focusing on the small display of affection.
