Kama Sutra

Description

Tara and Maya are two inseparable friends in India. Their
tastes, habits, and hobbies are the same. Years later, the two have matured,
but have maintained their friendship. Tara gets married to the local prince,
Raj Singh, who soon succeeds the throne as the sole heir. After the marriage,
Raj gets bored of Tara and starts seeking another female to satisfy his sexual
needs. He notices Maya and is instantly attracted to her. He has her included
as one of his courtesans, and is intimate with her. Watch what happens when
Tara finds out and the extent she will go to keep her marriage intact.
If you’re looking for a deep, intelligently romantic movie with
complex characters and a richly rewarding plot, don’t bother with Kama Sutra:
A Tale of Love. On the other hand, if you’re feeling sexy and in the mood for
a lush, seductive, and visually stunning film set in 16th-century India, this
one will please you like the best foreplay you’ve ever experienced. Or it will
relax you like a full treatment at a pampering spa–either way, you’re gonna
feel pretty fantastic. Okay, okay… maybe we’re getting a little carried
away, but there’s no denying that director Mira Nair (best known for her
acclaimed film Salaam Bombay!) has crafted a sumptuous film for the eyes if
not the head. Its melodramatic plot is involving enough to elevate the movie
high above soft-core adult fare, so you won’t feel guilty after watching it.
Kama Sutra is the story of a young woman named Maya (the stunning Indira
Varma) who has always been lower on the social scale than her well-born friend
Tara (Sarita Choudhury), and has always lived in Tara’s shadow, wearing her
used clothes and being made to feel inferior. When Tara is betrothed to the
handsome King Raj Singh (Naveen Andrews, from The English Patient), Tara
sneaks into the king’s tent on the eve of the wedding and seduces him. Later,
after being trained to master the Kama Sutra’s many “lessons of love,” Maya
will be the king’s courtesan, and emotions will run high between the former
best friends. But the plot is of secondary importance here (a fact that
resulted in many mixed reviews), and so Kama Sutra works best as a colorful
and irresistibly sexy story that is worth seeing just for the startling beauty
of the film and its cast. –Jeff Shannon
