One of the most popular movie franchises on Netflix, 365 Days and its sequel are packed with steamy scenes from beginning to end. We’re talking about sexual tension and provocative moments that will quickly set the mood. While the first one was comparatively a better watch, the sequel, which brings more of the same energy with added BDSM elements, feels a lot tamer than the original.
2. Challengers (2024)
Before its release, Challengers stirred up conversation with teaser scenes featuring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor entangled in a, err...threesome make-out sesh? Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the film brims with seductive undertones and simmering tension, featuring a lot of making out and sex, scored to rave music for some reason. But the real intrigue lies in the dynamic between the leads, unfolding both in the bedroom and on the tennis court, making it a captivating watch for fans of slow-burn romance.
3. Dev D (2009)
Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D is a modern, edgy retelling of Devdas with a dark twist. The film’s bold take on relationships and addiction is paired with a raw portrayal of lust and self-destruction. It’s gritty, unapologetic, and sultry, with scenes that explore the murky waters of desire. Abhay Deol and Mahie Gill’s performances keep the heat rising as Dev D delves into the complexities of love, longing, and self-destruction. Perhaps, stick to the raunchier parts of the movie for your date night.
4. Duck Butter
Directed by Miguel Arteta, Duck Butter follows two women who agree to spend 24 hours together, having sex every hour. The film delves into vulnerability and intimacy, offering a unique look at the dynamics of a relationship accelerated by time and desire.
5. Raaz Series
Raaz is a staple for lovers of supernatural thrillers with a seductive twist. This Bollywood classic combines eerie mysteries with steamy chemistry between Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea. The gothic setting, along with an intense storyline of love, betrayal, and everything in between, keeps the tension alive. While there have been several sequels, some steamier too, none quite capture the “vibe” of the original, so to speak.
6. BA Pass (2012)
Perhaps skip to the best parts in this one. BA Pass is a dark, erotic thriller that explores the grim underbelly of Delhi through the eyes of a young man who becomes entangled in a web of seduction. With bold scenes and an unapologetic narrative, it’s a film that lays bare the consequences of desire and desperation. Shilpa Shukla delivers a performance that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a captivating choice for those seeking a more serious, moody movie night.
7. Fire (1996)
Deepa Mehta’s Fire remains one of the most courageous films in Indian cinema, exploring a forbidden relationship between two women within a conservative household. The chemistry between Nandita Das and Shabana Azmi simmers under the surface, portraying love, desire, and the struggles of societal expectations. It's as bold as it is beautiful—a must-watch for those seeking a story of emotional and physical intimacy.
8. Parched (2015)
Leena Yadav’s Parched is a story of four women in rural India, navigating their desires and the societal shackles around them. The film doesn’t shy away from exploring themes of love, lust, and liberation, with scenes that are as intimate as they are intense. The beautiful desert landscapes provide a vivid backdrop to the characters’ emotional and physical journeys, making Parched a visually and narratively enriching experience.
9. Kamasutra
Mira Nair’s Kamasutra offers a cinematic take on the ancient text, exploring themes of love and sensuality in 16th-century India. With beautifully crafted scenes and intricate storytelling, it remains a bold representation of human desires and romantic entanglements—with, as you can imagine, a lot of nudity.
10. Lust Stories (2018)
If commitment isn’t your style, Lust Stories offers four steamy short films from some of India's top directors. Each story delves into the complexities of intimacy and desire, exploring everything from hidden fantasies to the everyday challenges of marriage. With bold, unapologetic narratives, it offers a refreshing look at sex and relationships from an Indian perspective—something the sequel couldn’t quite capture.
11. Call Me By Your Name (2017)
After watching Call Me By Your Name, you'll never look at peaches the same way again. This coming-of-age romance, directed by Luca Guadagnino, captures the languid, sun-soaked charm of an Italian summer like no other. Seventeen-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet) spends his summer in northern Italy when he meets Oliver (Armie Hammer), his father’s charming research assistant.
12. Malcolm & Marie (2021)
Shot entirely in black and white, Malcolm & Marie is a moody, simmering drama that proves you don’t need a big cast or sweeping locations to keep things intense. Zendaya and John David Washington play a filmmaker and his girlfriend whose relationship unravels over the course of a single night.
