Summary: A Tale of Love and Desire
Review: A deliciously erotic movie that never becomes pornographic despite the subject it traverses. This is a breathtaking film from a superb director. The love scenes are moving, the acting first rate and the scenery breathtaking. Karma Sutra will not be to everyone's taste but if you like the unusual, and don't mind a fair amount of nudity (well it is called Karma Sutra for heaven's sake!) then go out and buy or rent this film. You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Visually stunning but not much more
Review: I could watch this movie over and over again if I turned the sound off. Though some of the love scenes are a bit cliche for my taste, the director does a great job of bringing out the beauty of these women and the beautiful setting in which this movie takes place. The script is somewhat insipid, and the story could use some creativity. If your looking for a mediocre love story you don't really have to think about, this movie is for you. if your looking for something with a little more quality, i'd pass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch again after the first time.....
Review: This movie is more complex then meets the eye. When you watch it the first time, you get the major plot elements and the superficial love story. Watch it again, and the subtler dynamics of the plot unfold. The movie is not only sensual, but an emotional and personal journey of a young woman growing up in a jumble of worlds. The heroine is a girl who is of servant status and caste, yet is raised as royalty. She is kicked out when she sleeps with the groom at a wedding. A man that will probably have many courtesians anyway, but her role in the household is muddled enough that reaction to her tryst is extremely negative, and filled with jealousy from all angles, and the double standard of the role of a woman vs. a man. From there, you see her explore herself, and her own desires, instead of following what is directed of her. In the end, it becomes a conflict of her heart and her role in life, a duty that is iron-clad in the Indian Caste system. Tara could be seen as the foil to her character...a woman who gives in to duty and represses her own heart. A strong movie about a woman and her will at a time in history where women did not have a choice. A story of a person finding herself, and following it at all costs.
And the strong ending is that she does not end up with either man, but with herself, instead of an accessory to a man's life, she walks out to meet her own. A powerful movie on the dynamics of not just passion, eroticism and love, but of independance and power.

Summary: KAMA SUTRA A BEAUTIFUL FILM
Review: KAMA SUTRA IS A BEAUTIFUL FILM, SET IN 16TH CENTURY INDIA AND TELLS THE STORY OF MAYA, A LOVELY SERVANT GIRL WHO DEALS WITH THE MALICIOUS BEHAVIOR OF HER FRIEND/ENEMY, TARA. THROUGH PASSION AND OBSTACLES SHE DISCOVERS LOVE, AND FINDS COURAGE TO GO ON WITH HER LIFE AFTER LOSS OF HER LOVER. KAMA SUTRA IS BEAUTIFULLY FILMED, AND THE COSTUMES, SONGS AND DANCES ARE ENOUGH TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS FILM AND INDIAN CULTURE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM, YOU WILL ENJOY THE RAPTURES OF THIS FILM.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow..Amazingly Gorgeous Film
Review: Mira I tip my hat to you. One of my all-time favorite movies. Through your labor of love you have produced a one of a kind masterpiece. Great performances throughout. Very colorful and visually stimulating movie. Absolutely wonderful sets and costuming. The sex is only part of the spectrum, so the movie doesn't really exploit sex but gives insight on how sex affects the lives of the characters. Fabulous commentary from Mira that really gives insight on what she wanted to accomplish in the film. Great DVD mastering job from the film print.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A historic, erotic love story.
Review: I found this movie to be very interesting. I absolutely loved the costumes! That designer deserves an Oscar! This film lets us see the Indian culture from the past, and they're many ways of seduction. I say we Americans can learn a few "moves" from their culture. Where can I sign up for a Kama Sutra class???!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie of the Century!!!
Review: Acting, plot, and script were absolutely superb. Better than Basic Instinct or Saving Private Ryan. Should have won dozens of Oscars. A must own for everyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: simply love
Review: i loved the movie every bit;it was great;the cast ws great;my favourite being indira verma & ramon tikaram. if anyone who expect a porno movie will be disappointed; its not abt just sex.it;s abt LOVE. sex is taken to a higher level when its shared by 2 people who truly love each other. it has got nothing to do with the kamasutra by vatsyna. its about society's treatment of the underclass and how the women is affected. great movie; indira verma ws simply breath taking in her indian beauty.

would recommend anyone who is interested in a love story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome movie
Review: The Kama Sutra one of the greast movies I have seen. The story is beautiful and the cast is gorgeous. It is more than just about sex, it is about the heart break of love, the viewer feels the pain of Maya not being able to be with her lover and having to be a concubine to a distgusting king. Anayway, I think that it is a great movie.
