Title: a good story of eroticism and love from classical India
Review: The title may be misleading, as this is not really a film version of the classical Indian book by the same title. While there is a strong erotic charge in the film, there are no sex position tutorials, no philosophical discussions, no classical references here. It is a beautiful tale of love, as the subtitle correctly puts it, set in a archetypical Indian mansion of a Maharajah. I found the story credible and it, less the costumes, could be transposed in any number of XXI century social situations. A good way to become acquainted with classical India, an India that does not exist any more though some of the family relationships depicted here are still to be found in the more traditional parts of the country.
