THE audience breaks into guffaws as actor John Abraham sweeps a brawny co-star Abhishek Bachchan off his feet and into a kiss in Dostana. Viewers
also share actor Priyanka Chopra's angst as she breaks down post a one-night stand in Fashion.

Have things changed while we weren't looking? A few years ago, when director Deepa Mehta's controversial film Fire released, its 'bold' theme witnessed rallies and violent mobs as headlines screamed "Lesbian film sets India
on fire". Today, when a heroine tries to clean the slate and start over, whether it's Chopra, as a supermodel gone astray in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion or Rani Mukherjee, portraying a high-class escort in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag last year, the audience merely sniffles in sympathy and support.
