But there is much in the book beyond technique: It is a work of art, dance and philosophy, and Maya proves a good student, telling her teacher: "I want to learn the rules of love and how to use them. (Concerning the pressing of the nails against the body, for example, I have always much preferred the subtle "leaf of the blue lotus'' technique to the more abrupt "jump of a hare''). She then meets a wise older woman (Rekha), who runs a school for courtesans, based on the ancient book "Kama Sutra,'' or "Lessons in Love.'' This book is known in the West mostly for its exhaustive (and exhausting) lists of sexual positions, and for its carefully delineated caressing techniques.
She becomes his lover and model, until he decides she cannot be both at the same time, and unwisely (in my opinion) prefers her as his model. Now something I have used is yours forever.'' Maya is exiled from the village by the bitter Tara and drifts from town to town until she falls beneath the gaze of a sculptor ( Ramon Tikaram). The next day she taunts her rival: "All my life I have lived with your used things. When Tara is betrothed to the king, Raj Singh ( Naveen Andrews), Maya slips into his chamber on the night before the wedding and seduces him. The heroine is a servant girl named Maya ( Indira Varma), who has always lived in the shadow of her childhood friend, the well-born Princess Tara ( Sarita Choudhury, from "Mississippi Masala''). Nothing in her previous work (the great film "Salaam Bombay!" and two good films, " Mississippi Masala" and " The Perez Family") prepared me for this exercise in exotic eroticism. To find a film like this from the 1960s, made by a man, would be one thing to find it made in 1997 by Mira Nair is more startling. 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."Kama Sutra'' is a lush, voluptuous tale told in 16th century India about two young women who grow up to pleasure a king-one as his wife, the other as his courtesan. 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.
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. Needless to say, Tara is furious when she learns that Maya has stolen Raj's heart, and Maya is banished from the palace. 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. 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.
