Nudity Rating:
This is an interesting time to make this post. There was a lot of chatter on comments why Web Series do not have enough male nudity! But this post kind of makes all the skeptics put to rest. This Bengali crime series sets almost very single suspects butt naked on the show. I do not know the actor's names, so please suggest in the comments my Bengali blog members. The nudity is not sexual or sensual & the men are not always in great shape but it is LEGIT nudity nonetheless. Also I can see this is the maximum number of nude male actors (7) in a single series. This is legendary & this blog will surely focus more on Bengali web series going forward.
On flip side, OTT platforms are surely not censoring male butts. So if we have lack of it it is because too many straight male directors...we just need to support & watch more content from female or LGBT makers. Change will only happen then.
Comments
I guess in d current era of analytics, it won't be hard to convey our preferences to them.
Meanwhile plz refrain from expressing any nasty, absurd and expressions in bad taste in any media on either d subject or the people concerned with such series.
Consider a somewhat related example. Oppenheimer (produced outside of India) is censored BEFORE it's released in India (granted, it's not web series, but it does highlight my point). CGI is used to cover Pugh's breasts with a black top. Season 2 of Made Heaven is released (which is produced in India) and what do they show? A fully naked Arjun Mathur from behind.
There is very much a double standard in India (and perhaps other parts of the world, too) that permits more male nudity than it does female nudity. In fact, I've read articles which admit this (based on comments provided by the boards that create the ratings).
I really can't see what people are complaining about.
You're likely to see a penis before you'll ever see a vulva.
Why can't people just enjoy what the actors decide to show, rather than complaining that there isn't enough nudity?
Females are sexualized way more than men. Period.

But I think no one is denying the fact that women are more sexualised than men. I mean, most of the popular culture is created by straight men with male gaze.
I think the complaint here is there's more male nudity than female nudity on Indian OTTs.
We have literally null female nudity for the past two years. Even in Made in heaven S2, the women never even show bare shoulders after having sex.
A woman covered from head to toe is also easily sexualised in India while totally naked men could be considered religious.
It's just that female nudity is not at all accepted in India, even though sexualistation is accepted.
