Movie Reviews of Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love
Movie Review: Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie on tv (so all the 'extra' was cut out), and still loved it. The lady who plays Maya is absolutely gorgeous. The movie is excellent, with or without the 'extra' parts in it. The scenery is great, and I love to watch this over and over,
Summary of Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love
In a seductive tale of love and betrayal a kings courtesan is forbidden to embrace her one true love. Trained in the art of pleasure maya the beautiful servant girl becomes defiant rebelling against ancient tradition. As passion takes over the conflict brings consequences that no one ever envisioned. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 01/11/2005 Starring: Indira Varma Naveen Andrews Run time: 113 minutes Rating: R Director: Mira NairIf 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
