Insaaf Ka Taraazu
The film was notoriously synonymous with rape. Apparently an anti-rape film, it has one of the most explicit rape scenes ever in Hindi cinema. Zeenat Aman plays a model and a beauty queen. Raj Babbar plays a rich guy who tries to woo her and ultimately rapes her. He later rapes her sister played by Padmini Kolhapure. Remake of the Hollywood flick Lipstick , the film lived up to the original in recreating the realism of rape.
Audiences had condemned the rape scenes as they were extremely graphic and bordering on titillation. The premise of the director was to show a realistic rape scene in all its crudity. A half-naked, battered Zeenat Aman featured prominently on the publicity material. The scenes were gruesome and the helplessness of the victims was mortifying. For some, Raj Babbar’s image has been permanently etched as a rapist villain in their minds.
