What sells more than sex in Bollywood?
It's sex in a horror story.
Throw in exotic locales, a scantily clad leading lady, a buff actor to play an eager lover and a horror story and you've got yourself a potential box office hit.
One such film is Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan starrer 3G, set to release later this week -- telling the story of a second hand phone that does supernatural things to its new owners.
Here's looking at Bollywood films that meant to titillate and scare at the same time.
Raaz 3D

Apart from black magic gone wrong, the film boasts of some hot lovemaking scenes and both the lead actresses at their glamorous best.
Ragini MMS

It's when Uday (Yadav) has tied up his girlfriend to the bed that they sense a supernatural presence in the house.
Hisss

It's a different matter, however, that our desi sex bomb looks more sexually charged that passionately vengeful in this one.
Darling

Saaya

The film showcases the much-in-love couple's chemistry by way of scenic Kerala backwaters and smoulderign song sequences.
Hawa

Only, Hawa is reduced to a rather daft plotline with a woman getting raped by a ghost.
