Take a look at the titillating stills and posters of Tamil films due for release or in the making (we have featured a few in our gallery). This Friday (July 25), two films- Pathu Pathu and Sutta Pazham are getting ready for release. It proves that suddenly there is a market for such sleazy films in Kollywood.

There has been a plethora of films full of titillating item numbers, women in provocative costumes, dancers doing hot gyrations and dance movements and stories with adult themes. The two films releasing this week were butchered by the censors and carries 'A' certificates as they had an overdose of sex and smutty dialogues.

The heart throb of the 80's Mohan (who can forget his Mouna Ragam, Nenjathai Kilathey, Payanangal Mudivithile etc) is reduced to doing a "sex comedy" Sutta Pazham as his comeback venture. He plays a guy in his early 40's who has Subha Punja dropping her saree pallav and lusting after him!

Even Bollywood films with glamour and glitz are getting dubbed into Tamil with very provocative posters and blurbs! The flop sex comedy 'Bachke Rehna Re Baba' (2005) featuring the hot Mallika Sherawat and Rekha has now become 'Mallika Kamini' with big 'A' and the tag line – open the door! Deepak Tijory's Fareb (2005) with Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty providing oomph is now 'Kamasadhileelavathi' in its Tamil dubbed version.

Next week there are more releases of such kinds of soft porn movies in the pipeline. These films have their own audiences, and are profitable. Made on a shoe-string budget of Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 crore, they make money for its producers.

This year according to censor board sources a record number of "glamour and temptation" films with cuts and 'A' certificates have rolled out of Kollywood, mainly with newcomers. These films are sold to small time distributors at reasonable prices, which mean the producer makes a table profit.

There is also a huge demand from television channels for such films to fill up their late night 'masala movie' slot.
