I saw this movie a very long time ago and it was quite controversial when it was released, because of the erotic scenes. The movie is not at all vulgar, there is a beauty to even the adult scenes and it shows how open minded India was at that period.
Rekha is fantastic in her portrayal of Vasantasena, the courtesan whom the entire Kingdom desires. Shashi Kapoor as the evil minister was also good. Shekhar Suman was cast probably for his innocent looks at that time. Amjad Khan as Vatsyana is hilarious. Rest of the cast are also good.
The music is phenomenal. It's sad that the core message of the movie was lost on the masses.
The best part of the movie for me was the last scene which I will not reveal here.
