Call it coincidence but seems like the 'S' word is making it's presence felt in a much bigger way than what one may have presumed. Coming Friday there are as many six films (phew!) which are releasing. Now call it coincidence but out of these at least four have clear references to the sex element. The films in question are Naughty @ 40, Men Will Be Men, Queens! Destiny of Dance. No wonder, it seems like a record in the making. "It is unbelievable", says a trade veteran, "It used to be such a phenomenon in the 80s when a flurry of adult movies would arrive in one go. However they were restricted to the morning shows. Now with multiplexes coming in, films have been re-packaged to make it all look like a classy affair." "Yes, Naughty @ 40 is a sex comedy. Why deny that when it is actually a fact", says Jagmohan Mundhra, the film's director, who has cast Govinda in the role of a 40 year old virgin who still dreads the 'S' word.

"What is surprising though is to see a film called Men Will Be Men which has arrived out of nowhere. A film about four youngsters who head towards Pattaya (near Bangkok) to have their share of action, it is yet another film to have sex as an integral part of what goes on in the mind of men, hence the film's title", says an industry insider. However the film's director Gorky, a debutant, does acknowledge that the film is abound with 'suggestive dialogues and jokes'.

“If this wasn’t crowded enough then wait as there is more”, a trade follower adds, “There is also this small time film called Queens!

"If this wasn't crowded enough then wait as there is more", a trade follower adds, "There is also this small time film called Queens! Destiny of Dance which would try to make its presence felt in the coming week. This one is a film about the third sex, the transgender. Thankfully though it doesn't present them as comic characters and instead takes a realistic look at the issues faced by transgender people in the country." Wonder what are Tusshar Kapoor and Lara Dutta thinking about the competition as they get ready with their own Shor In The City and Chalo Dilli in the same week. "I am not worried actually. Our film is all set to stand out. It has a class of it's own", says Tusshar. Well, one would agree with you on this one at the least Tusshar.

I AM too has references to the sex element though it is more disturbing than titillating. Out of the four stories in the film, there is a story each around child abuse as well as gay partners. Also, no attempt has been made to undersell these elements and instead the makers have come out and told the stories for what they are, hence taking the risk of some uncomfortable moments when the visuals arrive on screen.
