Sex didnt sell at box office in 2005
New Delhi, Dec 29 : Bollywood seemed obsessed with sex and sleaze in 2005 but the flirtation rebounded, with the dozen-odd movies of this genre fading out without a whimper.It started with actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatts "Rog" starring Irrfan Khan and South African model Ilene Hamann. A murder mystery, the film was a mixture of sleaze and suspense. Bhatt has been pushing the envelope ever since she ventured into direction with "Paap" in 2003 and tried the same formula in her second film. Unfortunately, neither box office nor audience enjoyed watching steamy scenes on screen.

Bollywood seemed obsessed with sex and sleaze in 2005 but the flirtation rebounded, with the dozen-odd movies of this genre fading out without a whimper.It started with actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatts "Rog" starring Irrfan Khan and South African model Ilene Hamann. A murder mystery, the film was a mixture of sleaze and suspense. Bhatt has been pushing the envelope ever since she ventured into direction with "Paap" in 2003 and tried the same formula in her second film. Unfortunately, neither box office nor audience enjoyed watching steamy scenes on screen. After "Rog", a slew of unimpressive films hit the marquee and one of them was debutante director Leena Yadavs much talked about "Shabd". It revolved around a prize-winning author, played by Sanjay Dutt, facing a writers block after the failure of his second novel. Aishwarya Rai played his wife Antara and Zayed Khan her lover.
