Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I found this film preposterous and not in a good way. A clichéd plot involving kings and queens in ancient India is a feeble excuse to engage in a soft core melodrama. The lead Indira Verma, although stunningly beautiful, is a very bad actress and mistakes posturing for acting. Vetern Hindi film actress Rekha is essentially wasted in a throw-away role as an elderly courtesan who teaches nubile nymphets the art of 'pleasang their man'. Yes, it is as yucky as it sounds, and unfortunately not treated with the campiness it deserves. Worth avoiding.Overall 3/10

Expected a lot more from the maker of Salaam Bombay. Bought a DVD version of the movie in Canada with a sequel from Mira Nair herself.She babbled erotic scenes and melodramatic sequences are a must to the story. But where is the storyline here? At best she has exploited the flesh of then beautiful women in the world Indra Verma.In Mira Nair rates herself as the purveyor of women liberation and wanna highlight the plight of a servant girl in the medieval India, whats the point in those surrogate scenes? Still cannot figure out why this movie was labeled Kamasutra.A billion dollar question even the director cannot answer

My favorite movie of all time. The colors, the tragic plot, the actors make this movie a perfect choice.The story of two girls from different social societies, one ends up queen the other a cortesan.The unique plot makes you sit at the edge of your chair for more. The twists and transitions are perfect from scene to scene.It leaves a good message with you.The sex scenes are real and hot. Contrary to the title, there is very little sex, but just enough to stir your mind.My all time favorite and i will sit and watch it again and again.

Commenting on a movie released way back now, is an understatement, but stating this I would!!! It is one of the most most beautiful and artistically exquisite movie I have seen in recent times...From the classic erotics scenes to the haunting background music, everything in this movie scores!!! I have become a great fan of this movie...a fan of Indira Verma for life time!!! She has the most erotically appealing body I have ever seen, and being an Indian I am proud of Indira's talents, her gorgeous drop dead looks and her elegant body language....the only miscast was of Naveen Andrews, u could have gotten a much more matured and classy actor from India, Ms. Nair, I presume....
