ABSTRACT

Love and love making is natural to all human beings. Yet it is considered as a taboo to discuss about the modes of love making in the families. In traditional Indian social set up it has been considered as a forbidden topic. Even falling in love in bachelorhood is deemed as a stigma at the white sheet of parental dignity and honor. Depiction of such themes in Indian films is just forbidden. But Mira Nair has been bold enough to take up this theme in her film Kamasutra. The film conveys the idea that chaste love is above all filthy thoughts. It cannot be confined to seeking erotic physical pleasures. Infect there is a yawning gap between love and sex. This research paper tries to study the depiction of this forbidden topic. Efforts have been made to discuss the thematic and cinematic aspects of film making.

Key words: Love, Taboo, Erotic, Forbidden, Kamasutra.
