Oops! is a 2003 Indian erotic comedy drama film directed and produced by Deepak Tijori. It was his directorial debut.[1] Based on the topic of male strippers, the film faced protests before screening.[2] The film was produced on a budget of ₹25 million (US$300,000). It was considered controversial because of the subject matter and initially it faced troubles with the Central Board of Film Certification.[3] The film was released in two versions – Hindi and English.[4] It did not receive favourable reviews.[5] The film failed at the box office, and Tijori said that he had "alienated the audience with too much sex in the promos".[1]
