Plot: 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. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The truth on the cycle of love and life...
Added 9/17/2009

Man... where do you start. So many lessons to learn from this. Lessons on leadership, self expression, over indulgence, respect, abuse, and most notably love.
I learned from the king's confidence, from the sculptures appreciation for beauty, from his fear of letting go to his feelings, from the deception of friends, so much more I just am having trouble expressing them so I will stop here and just say to watch this movie with an open heart and be willing to take from it.

Don't buy from here!

This is another film that I saw years ago...but the DVD from this seller IS NOT a full movie. First of all it came in an envelope, no hard case. The quality is awful, it appears to be taped from a tv viewing (a logo pops up in the corner of the screen like they do on some cable stations). To add to that there are whole scenes missing.

I tried to contact the seller and got no response at all.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE IF IT'S FROM THIS SELLER!

Excellent Movie

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,

Sensual Masterpiece!

A truly beautiful piece. Very colorful presentation of the life of india. It is a tale about the life of a girl who becomes a courtesan. She learns from the Kama Sutra. I really don't want to get into it more than that, revealing too much of the plot. The movie is not about sex positions of the Kama sutra though it does have very well done explicit scenes that will make you hot. The movie is more about what Kama Sutra means.

Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love
This is not what 99% of people would think it is Its a subtitled foreign film having little to do with its title.
