Lesbian acts on screen

The girl-on-girl actions on screen always spark controversy and raise objections. But still film makers do it with utmost courage turning a blind eye towards the agitations. Let's have a look at cinema's most amorous girlie scenes... Though a very bold topic in a country like India, Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth handled the theme with great potential and courage in the movie 'I Can't Think Straight'.

The duo Isha Koppikar and Amrita Arora rocked the nation in a passionate interlude in the movie 'Girlfriend'. Their wild passion drove and the controversial subject drove the nation into a tizzy.

The heavily cliched script of 'Mandi' was the depiction of a lesbian relationship between sister-in-laws, Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. The movie inspired Bollywood to come up with similar subjects.

Lisa Ray's and Sheetal's fast friendship turns to love in the 'The World Unseen'. The film was applauded by some for handling a volatile topic with dignity.

With a lot of seduction scenes thrown in, 'Men Not Allowed' is a lesbian love story gone awry. Payal and Tina Mazumdar, indulge in lust and love just to titillate the audience without conveying much meaning.

Divya Dutta bared her back to be shot tastefully in the film 'Monica'. She shared her room with Kitu Kidwani in the movie and slowly blended into homosexual acts with her. Divya, it's not just about baring... it needs a strong woman to portray such roles!

Nandita and Shabana made headlines with their depiction of lesbianism in 'Fire'. Though they were hunted by the moral police, the duo came out unscathed.
