Kamasutra, una historia de amor (1997)
India, siglo XVI. La víspera de la boda de la princesa Tara con el gran Rey Raj Singh, Maya, una sirvienta que ha sufrido largamente por culpa de la impulsiva Tara, y que ha sido criada junto a ella, descubre la forma de realizar su venganza. Maya se cuela en la alcoba del Rey y utiliza sus seductoras artes para tentarle. Hipnotizado, Raj Singh se deja atrapar por la irresistible sensualidad de Maya. Pero, cuando la traición de Maya es descubierta, es desterrada para siempre del palacio. Tara luce finas sedas y joyas y aprende las reglas del Kama Sutra, el libro hindú del amor, gracias a la afamada maestra Rosa Devi. Más tarde, cuando Tara y Raj Singh consuman su matrimonio, él solo puede pensar en Maya. Vagabundeando por el reino de Raj Singh, Maya atrae la atención de Jai, el escultor de la Corte. Cuando él la ayuda para encontrar un lugar donde vivir, Jai, sin darse cuenta, reúne a Maya con Rosa Devi, quién finalmente le confía también a ella las antiguas enseñanzas del Kama Sutra.
