 So, how were children born? In '' Aa gale lag ja '' (1973?) Shashi Kapoor gave Sharmila Tagore, clad in a blanket but unconscious because of the extreme cold, a body massage (through the aforesaid blanket) so that she did not die of frostbite. That massage resulted in a baby.

 To that extent '' Aranyer Din Ratri '' shook up Bengal—and arthouse audiences in the rest of India. At least it implied that the two were copulating.

	In the Bengali film '' Parmapar '' (2003) Subhra Basu played a young girl persuaded by her grandmother, who had been an art college model herself, to pose naked for the first time for art students. The sequence ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtpFDcTxjuM YouTube]) got past the censors because the scene is too dark for anything to be seen distinctly, except that Subhra Basu is standing and then lying prone, totally naked. Even though this was the first Bengali film with total nudity and the scene got talked and written about extensively, the film flopped and Subhra did not get even one film role in Bengal or elsewhere, not even one requiring her to strip again.

		+	Antarmahal is set in the late 1800s, in the house of a rich landowner Bhubaneswar Chowdhury (Jackie Shroff). He has two wives, Mahomaya (Roopali Ganguly) and the very young Jashomati (Soha Ali Khan), and two goals. He wants an heir and he wants his estate to have the grandest idol of goddess Durga for the next Durga Puja. For the latter he hires a young sculptor Brij Bhushan (Abhishek Bachchan) and instructs him to make goddess Durga look like Queen Victoria, to curry favour with the British. However, Jashomati and Brij Bhushan are attracted to each other and the idol turns up looking like Jashomati instead, exposing an illicit relationship between the two.
