'Sex doesn't always sell'

Love him or hate him, but ignore him? Better luck with that. Because Dibakar Banerjee just loves to push the envelope.

His latest film after Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! -- the provocatively titled Love Sex Aur Dhokha -- is already getting a lot of reaction. The movie has earned a lot of praise from critics, who hail him as the country's innovative filmmaker.

So is he worth all the praise? Well, his fans and curious others got to know more during this scintillating chat last week. For those who missed the chat, here's what transpired.
Dibakar Banerjee says, Hi everybody, this is Dibakar. Let's have your questions.

kishor asked, hi sir how to made this story
Dibakar Banerjee answers, By seeing life around me, the MMSes, the sting scandals on TV and by seeing Bollywood films.

afsar asked, Jahan love hota hai waha sex jarroori to nahi?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Aadmi aur aurat ka pyaar ho toh sex ko aap daal mein chhoka maan sakte hai. Swaad badta hai. Lekin uske bina bhi agar sirf man ka pyaar ho toh bhi daal achhi hai.

sexy asked, are there any nude scenes in the movie?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Yes. Some of them have been blurred by the censors.

kris asked, Hi Dibakar, is it not a vulgar title
Dibakar Banerjee answers, No.

Harsha asked, Is this film focuses only on Sex & Dokha?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, No, also on love.

KLPD asked, Your movies have been quite different and yet conventional in a way. Is this intentional?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Not consciously different; I just make the films that I want to make and people define them the way they want to define.

KLPD asked, The censors deleting the scenes- Will it have the same impact now?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Yes, it will. I just saw it again with a hall full of other people who were not aware of the 10-12 second cuts that we had made and were affected by it. But it all depends on what impact you're looking for.

KLPD asked, KKG was fully entertaining, OLLO was arty. LSD is more real. What next?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, More angry.

KLPD asked, Ekta is known for her tear jerker joint family dramas. How come you chose her as a producer for LSD?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, She chose me.:)

KLPD asked, What is the secret of "putting" in entertainment in any story or How do you make a film entertaining, and yet retaining the fabric of the script
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Lovely question. Maybe it's got to do with respecting the characters, respecting the audience's time and drawing the correct balance between what you want to say and what is relevant to them. One golden rule: humour helps. Of which LSD has a lot!

pankaj asked, hi what is ur film all about
Dibakar Banerjee answers, It's about all of us and our society, and what's private and public and what's film and what's life.

rmm85 asked, Is it going to release internationally?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Not immediately. We'll take it to the festivals first and then release it internationally.

KLPD asked, Doesnt LSD release warrant a post by you on passionforcinema
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Would have loved to, but the last two months, I've been working insanely against deadlines and time.

Dibakar Banerjee answers, See the film, see if you find one, then we'll talk! :)

Dibakar Banerjee answers, They agreed with the scene but they thought it was too explicit, and therefore wanted to reduce 10 seconds of it to avoid disturbing some parts of the audience.

Alirocksn asked, Tu nangi achi lagti hai...... Can this song be released somewhere instead of tu gandi achi lagti hai....please????????
Dibakar Banerjee answers, No, because it's been banned by the censors, and to flout that rule would be illegal.

AB asked, What's your next movie with IMRAN KHAN about ?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, No one told me about it -- maybe you know something I don't! :)

babu@123456 asked, why are u spoiling the young generation u bollywood people does not have shame as u have habbit of seeing such nonsense with u kids u don't have any culture
Dibakar Banerjee answers, See the film alone, se if anyone will be spoilt by it, and then let's talk!

soumyanayak asked, r u banking on the fact that, no matter what, sex always sells?
Dibakar Banerjee answers, Actually, it doesn't. What sells is a topical and relevant story. Otherwise our films would have been a string of disconnected sex scenes from beginning to end.
