Jessica Rabbit isn't bad. she's just drawn that way!!But is there a reason why Jessica Alba's clothes to be torn off every time she runs into or away from trouble? Or for A-list movie stars to turn up as an item girl in a random movie? Yes, of course! The director is doing his fans true service.
Skimpy, skanky clothes are not a random error made by the costume department. It is a calculated move. And boy, does it work for the thousands of fans? Oh yes! No matter how many times you have seen ghouls and ghosts (both visible and invisible), nails protruding from walls, low branches of trees, or the grasping hands of villains chasing Jessica Alba rip off her skirt or shirt or both you are happy to see her in her underclothes. She has perfect comic timing, but as they say on the streets of Bollywood, 'Timing gaya tel lene!' (roughly translated, 'who cares').
Are you denying that you did not watch the jaw-droppingly fabulous behind of Transformers gal draping itself over a motorbike? Now, now, be honest. In the sequel to Transformers, one even watched the skimpily-clad Decepticon/Autobot seduce Shia LeBeouf in college...
Bad girls in Hindi movies have always dressed scantily, and that's okay because there is, even today a moral dress code in Indian cinema: bad girls wear western clothes, show skin... What is a-okay for Bindu, Helen, Aruna Irani to be wearing is not kosher for 'the good girls' aka the heroine of the movie. So what does the director offer fans? The 'dream' song. That's why the pattu-pavadei clad Trisha suddenly appears in western clothes in a song with Mahesh Babu in Athadu. The same reason why John Abraham materialzes in a short short short short pair of swimming trunks in Dostana...
We know that Bollywood actresses have suddenly developed a penchant to appear in bikinis for their fans, and their numbers are growing by the minute Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif,Isha Koppikar, Minissha Lamba, Deepika Padukone have all made their fans very happy. But that's not all, Vivah girl Amrita Rao too is hoping to get into the 'awesome wallpaper, dude' territory by appearing in bikinis. There was no earthly reason why Ameesha Patel needed to be in a bikini in Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic, but then the director could only stretch the story so much and voila! The director bowed to the fans and she appeared in a swimsuit!
So Photoshop crazy fans, earn your rest. The directors are happy to rovide you fan service!
