Why Porn Movies Are Called Blue Movies?
Have you ever wondered why porn is referred to as a "Blue Film" in India? This is something that you would not hear in any other part of the world.
Though most of us have seen porn at some point of time or the other, there are a few who are still scared to watch a porn alone, as they feel quite skeptical about it.
The word "Porn or blue films" are enough to make people raise their eyebrows or to make a person feel guilty of what they just told, as it is considered as a taboo, at least in this part of the continent!

Reason #4
Porn was shown often as late night shows in some of the worst, dirty movie halls. Audiences of all ages viewed these cheap films and even coined the name "blue movie" to refer to cheap films!
Reason #5
It is probably a spin-off from the "blue laws" that existed in many states, until about 50 or 60 years ago. According to the "blue laws," most businesses were not allowed to operate on a Sunday. Hence, blue movies were not shown on a Sunday. And that's why the term!!
