 DocuBay, the global documentary-streaming platform from the IN10 Media Network, announces the release of its latest original, Dirty Entertainers: The Business of Indian Erotica. Directed by Heena Dsouza and produced by HumaraMovie, the documentary takes a bold, unfiltered look into India’s underground erotica industry, a world that has long existed in the shadows. 

 

With OTT bans and increasing content regulation, the film explores how the industry’s creators and performers continue to navigate censorship, survival, and stigma. Featuring intimate conversations with prominent names such as Shakespeare, Maya Jafar, and Rajsi Verma, Dirty Entertainers dives deep into lives shaped by secrecy, desire, and resilience. 

 

Aditya Pittie, Managing Director, IN10 Media Network, “At IN10 Media Network, the idea has always been to create thought-provoking storytelling around topics that people often discuss in whispers or secrecy, but rarely speak out loud. Dirty Entertainers is one such story which are bold, compelling, and relevant, yet rarely explored on screen, as the glamour of the entertainment industry is often spoken about, but there’s a large, complex side to it that remains unexplored”. 

 

Samar Khan, Chief Operating Officer, DocuBay, “DocuBay has always explored a wide spectrum of genres from social issues to untold human stories and Dirty Entertainers continues that journey. The film doesn’t just explore the world of erotica; it delves into the economics behind it and how content, commerce, and censorship intersect. It’s an unfiltered look at an ecosystem that thrives despite being pushed to the margins, and a reflection of the resilience that fuels it.” 

 

Abhishek Gautam, Associate Producer, HumaraMovie, “With Dirty Entertainers, we wanted to give a platform to some of the most prominent artists in India’s erotica industry, who have rarely been able to tell their side of the story. Their experiences add authenticity and depth, and it was invaluable to capture these real-life perspectives for the documentary. Collaborating with DocuBay has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life with the platform’s strong global presence ensures that stories like these, rooted in India but universally relevant, reach audiences across the world.” 

 

Heena Dsouza, Director, “My goal was to humanize this space, to move beyond judgment and showcase the people who make this industry what it is. Bringing their voices to the forefront and piecing together the layers of this hidden ecosystem has been an eye-opening journey.” Dirty Entertainers: The Business of Indian Erotica is now streaming exclusively on DocuBay Originals.
