 By the 1920s, film companies in Bombay and Calcutta were making films with generous doses of sex and skin-show, and it was alleged that students and younger people were drawn into promiscuity by the moving pictures. Such was cinema's sway that in 1927 the government set up the Indian Cinematograph Enquiry Committee to investigate the adequacy of censorship and the supposedly immoral effect of cinematograph films. The 1920s' silent stars like Sulochana and Ermeline were overtly sexualized; the screen kiss was common in silent films before it became taboo after the coming of the talkies.
