The Oscars & Kamasutra 3 D

The Oscars & Kamasutra 3 D

M K Sinu

The details could, even today, provoke and bewilder one's imaginations. Vatsyayana’s Kamasutra, a window for the West into the culture and mysticism of the East is jutting out in 3 D format. Rupesh Paul, the director of ‘Kamasutra 3 D’ with Sherlyn Chopra in lead is running for the Oscars. Yes, the director is doing everything right so that the ‘West’ is impressed. Kamasutra 3D is in contention for the 86th Academy Awards in the categories of best motion picture, original score and original songs.

What upset Rupesh was the fact that the movie is being perceived as a B-grade soft porn. Nothing wrong. When you have Sherlyn Chopra can’t blame anyone. Having said that, Rupesh is confident because the film is of international standards and made with the best technophilia available.

This 3 D format is a more imaginative in its narrative. The film is story of a princess on a voyage in search of her husband. And, during the journey the character transforms her body, mind and soul with fellow passengers. We’ll love that. 

Also, we’ll permit us the luxury of self-congratulation, because there are more category of awards now than cinema knew existed at the time of its birth. So, tangentially Indian presence in Oscar also features in post-production departments and in the casts. Amitabh Bachchan has a cameo in Oscar eligible The Great Gatsby and Priyanka Chopra in Planes. She lend her voice for the Indian racer plane named Ishani
