It tells the story of two girls, princess and queen-in-waiting Tara, and Maya, a servant in her court and a close friend. The execution struck me as being a little bit amatuerish, but I'm not sure if writer/director Mira Nair just didn't have that much finesse back when this film was made or if she was using the traditional Bollywood style, where it seems finesse and subtlety aren't the order of the day. It doesn't shy away form showing you beautiful naked people making love, and nor does it leer like a softcore porn film over it all without any emotional context. Along with Samsara, Kama Sutra is as romantic and beautiful as it is sensual (and sexual). For such buttoned down cultures like those in the East, I'm amazed at what sexy movies they can make.
