Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
In this visually striking saga of one woman's
search for personal and sexual freedom in 16th century India, Maya (Indira
Varma) is a servant girl who is a handmaid to Tara (Sarita
Choudhury), a princess. Maya and Tara have been close friends since
childhood, and when Rasa Devi (Rekha),
an elegant courtesan, is brought in to instruct Tara in the lessons of the
Kama Sutra, the handbook of the art of physical love, Maya is allowed to
observe. Rasa teaches Tara the Dance of Enticement as a prelude to her
upcoming marriage to the King, Raj Singh (Naveen
Andrews), but the beautiful Maya turns out to be the more capable student,
and when Raj invites Maya to his bedchamber, he proves to be no match for her
seductive powers. Needless to say, Tara is furious when she learns that Maya
has stolen Raj's heart, and Maya is banished from the palace. On the road,
Maya soon meets a handsome sculptor, Jai Kumar (Ramon
Tikaram), who is entranced by Maya's beauty and sexual prowess; she soon
becomes his lover and favorite model. However, King Raj is still obsessed with
Maya, and while Tara has won his hand in marriage, he has taken to drowning
himself in opium and mindless sex with his mistresses when not trying to win
Maya back. Several of the erotic scenes in
Kama Sutra: A
Tale of Love were trimmed so the film could receive an "R" rating for its
American theatrical release, but it appeared uncut on home video; the film had
to be trimmed more extensively to gain a theatrical release in India, where it
was filmed.
