Here, for the record, are things you won't see in
Bollywood movies (besides that well-known and
long-established taboo on kissing.)
Censor Board Guidelines released in July 1994 (Formulated in
December 1991)
Double-meaning dialogues referring to a womans anatomy (e.g.
breasts as apples or some other fruit.)
Simulation of sexual movements (e.g. showing swinging of a car
with a couple inside.)
Man and woman in close proximity to each other or one over the other and making below-the-waist jerks suggesting copulation.
Pelvic jerks, breast swinging, hip jerks, man and woman mounting on each other, rubbing womans body from breasts to thighs, hitting/rubbing man with breasts, sitting on each others thighs and waist with entwined legs, lifting and peeping inside a
skirt, squeezing a woman's navel and waist.
Vulgar kissing on breasts, navel, buttocks, upper part of thighs.
Coins, etc, being put inside the blouse and other types of eve teasing.
Disrobing women in public.
There is a disapproval of display of violence in and on places
of worship such as hospitals and orphanages, particularly using
bombs and guns. (((Has Al Qaeda heard about this?)))
Taboo on the portrayal of violence on pregnant women,
handicapped persons, patients and children.
Kidnapping of children does not find favour.
Slapping/beating/assaulting of women by kith and kin.
Violence in police stations using chains, gun butts and other
third degree methods. (Any kind of violence that could be
imitated by the public at large.) (((I'd have to say that the most genuinely disturbing motif of Bollywood cinema is Bollywood cops righteously and gleefully beating confessions out of suspects. It doesn't help that suspects rarely confess under this treatment; frankly, we in the audience are just supposed to enjoy the beating.)))
Visuals of violence on and victimization of women by forcing
them into prostitution.
Stabbing by dagger, beheading, visuals of dead body hanging.
Setting human beings on fire.
