Why the world was shocked to see Ram Gopal Varma's Guns & Thighs trailer?

Have you watched Ram Gopal Varma's Guns & Thighs trailer? If not, you should watch it now because it may get banned soon from Youtube. 

The 6-minute trailer has many shocking scenes which shook superstar Amitabh Bachchan. The actor was so shocked that he didn't approve of it at all when RGV had shown the trailer. In fact, he warned RGV to not go ahead with it. Guns & Thighs trailer has many nude scenes (fully naked woman in a bedroom with a cop), violence and explicit language. 

 

 

 

Some of the dialogues include:
“When all is done all men want from women is their vagina”. (She uses the crude Hindi word for the female genital)
“It seems your father put only half of his penis in your mother’s vagina. That’s why you are half-cocked.”

The title of the web series is an obvious reference to the two weapons that were once used to gain success in the murky world of the mafia in Bombay (guns and sex). In the trailer, you will see amazing shots of Bombay. 

The trailer starts with a voice-over of an old woman, who lost her young son in a gang war in Mumbai; the story is about the partnership and subsequent fall-out between don Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan's D-Company who ruled the city. The trailer also talks about the time when the two dons split ways and swore to kill each other. 

In an interview with PTI, Ram Gopal said, “I always wanted to tell the complete true story of the Bombay mafia. In its raw and real form. Since for various reasons (CBFC) I couldn’t do that in my films, I am going to do it here.” 

The "Satya" helmer says his web series "Guns and Thighs", which is named after his memoir, will chronicle the fights that ended the underworld in Mumbai. "I am concentrating mainly on the time when Chota Rajan and Dawood Ibrahim broke up in 1996. So, between Daya Nayak, Praful Bhosale, Pradeep Sharma and Sachin Vale and others, 300 people (gangsters) were killed in the period of four years which technically finished the underworld. "My series will focus mainly on that, but it will have a lot of flashbacks in the '80s with Karim Lala, Haji Mastan and others," he adds.

 

 

 

The CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani has also slammed Ram Gopal Varma and called it, “perverse imagination without control or restraint.”

Further, Nihalani said, “Varma should know that freedom comes with lots of responsibility. We’ve something called self- censorship on the internet. Our filmmakers know nothing about self-censorship and laws on the Internet. Whether it is Ekta Kapoor, Vikram Bhatt, Anurag Kashyap or Ram Gopal, they all use the internet to vent their most secret fantasies.”

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt had produced a desi version of Fifty Shades of Grey in web series, Maaya. TV actress Shama Sikander was featured in the web series which shows BDSM -- bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism.

'Guns and Thighs' is produced by German company Stormcell Entertainment and Ram Gopal Varma Talkies. It will have four seasons of ten episodes each.

After watching the trailer of Ramu’s web series, you will for sure say that the time is near when Pahlaj Nihalani will inevitably intervene in the web zone too, and for good.
