Remember the Grand Masti franchise starring Aftab Shivdassani, Vivek Oberoi and Riteish Deshmukh. The sex comedy franchise was a laughter riot when the films showcased and spoke openly about the sexual pleasures of guys. The jokes were double-meaning, depending on the situation. The situational sex comedy became a rage over time, but soon the craze died down and cinephiles started to cringe over the Grand Masti franchise. Then came Sonam Kapoor starrer Veere Di Wedding, which was Bollywood's first chick flick received mixed response.
However, after the makers of the film have ventured into sex comedy and showed women's side of pleasure the film in a nutshell talks about sex, pleasure and women's orgasms. More than the love story, the movie focuses on the lust side of it.
