The film, banned in several countries due to extremely graphic sex scenes, has been added to Netflix

For tonight’s Netflix viewing, how about a movie with graphic, non-simulated sex scenes that was banned in its home country?

Yes, a movie that was too complete to run in theaters is now available to watch at the click of a button, if that sounds appealing.

This 2010 Indian film was directed by Qaushiq Mukherjee, known as ‘Q’, who had the vision to create an abstract film with elements of sex woven into the story.

And with anything involving sex in cinema, some people have reservations.

However, even the riskiest of directors might not have gone for Mukherjee’s decision to include non-simulated sex scenes in his film.

So you can understand why some people took quite a beating about the film. Because even in the most believable movie sex scenes, most of the time the two actors aren’t actually doing the deed.

They will use crafty camera work to create the illusion. This movie? Not so much.

The movie is called thinking, which translates to “a*****e” and is now available to stream on Netflix.

The film follows a teenage rapper who steals from his mother’s boyfriend to fund his love of drugs, all while trying to make it in the music industry.

There are numerous graphic sex scenes between Gandu’s mother (Kamalika Banerjee) and her lover Dasbabu (Silajit Majumder), in which the main character Gandu (Anubrata Basu) intervenes.

If that wasn’t explicit enough for you, in one of the film’s most controversial scenes, Basu has a fully erect penis in a sex scene with co-star Rii Sen, with Q saying the pair had sex in life real.

What makes it even weirder? Sen was actually in a relationship with Q when they filmed the scene.

She told Open magazine: “There were physical workshops that helped us let go of our inhibitions and get real. If someone were to touch my breasts, it is natural for me to be aroused.

“But it’s the consequences that are important. How do you feel after such a shoot? I wasn’t shattered or anything after I shot Thought.

“I was shooting love scenes with my co-actor, which were being shot by my boyfriend. Now how weird is that?”

You can probably understand at this point why the film was seen as taboo. In India, the film did not premiere until July 2021 at the Osian Film Festival.

But despite the many controversies that have followed the film over the years, critics have received the film positively as Gandu boasts a decent score of 68% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
