Oops! (film)

Oops! is a 2003 Hindi drama film directed and produced by Deepak Tijori. It was his directorial debut. Based on the topic of male strippers, the film faced protests before screening. The film was produced on a budget of ₹25 million (US$370,000). It was considered controversial because of the subject matter and initially it faced troubles with the Central Board of Film Certification. The film was released in two versions – Hindi and English. It did not receive favourable reviews but proved to be a turning point in actress Mink Brar's career. When the film flopped at the box office Tijori said that he had "alienated the audience with too much sex in the promos".

Jahaan (Kiran Janjani), Aakash (Vikas Sethi) and Jahaan's girlfriend Nikki (Adyasha) are good friends and members of a dance troupe. Jahaan wants to get rich very quickly while Aakash wants to establish his career as a dancer. Impressed by Jahaan's dancing skills, Sonia (Mink Brar) tells him that he could earn a large sum of money by stripping at shows. The other also joins him on the condition that he will do it only once. The second friend refuses to do another show and both the friends quarrel over this matter. Jahaan continues to perform at strip shows. At one of these shows he meets a middle-aged woman, Sharon (Mita Vashisht), and falls in love with her. When Sharon gets bored of this affair, she breaks it off but Jahaan is unable to recover. He does not behave properly with Nikki and eventually she leaves him. One day, Aakash's father Mr. Rai invites Jahaan to his home for dinner. At his house Jahaan learns that Sharon is actually Mrs. Rai, Aakash's mother.

For the striptease scene, Tijori had told actors Janjani and Sethi that the first portion of that scene would be shot first where they had to remain bare-chest. However, when filming started Tijori decided to shoot the entire scene that very day. On being asked why had he chose debutantes, Tijori relied that "no established actor will play a male stripper on screen". Janjani was signed before Sethi. Newcomer Adyasha Satpathy was cast for the lead role. The film was released with an A certificate implying that it was to be seen only by adult audience. Reportedly, the lead actors received invitations from nightclubs in Mumbai to perform for them.Rediff.com declared the film a box office flop. The film's strip choreography was done by professional strippers. Tijori got the idea of making a film on male strippers after meeting them.Oops! was simultaneously shot in English.
