“In India, censors barred theaters from showing the historical drama about two women who love the same handsome king. Nair, India's best-known female director in the West, appealed to her country's supreme court, which reluctantly gave the green light. But part of the deal she struck was that three times each week theaters would admit only women. "In India, movies are attended for the most part by men. But I wanted to find some way for women to see my film and feel safe and comfortable," Nair said over tea in San Francisco.

In the United States, where "Kama Sutra" opens Friday, the ratings board of the Motion Picture Association of America received Nair's film with misgivings similar to those of the Indian censors. "They wanted us to cut out the full frontal nudity, and to eliminate a scene where the two women make love to each other. So we were forced to distribute the film as unrated or get one of those NC-17 designations that really make you come across as trying to be purposely sensational.”

—Peter Stack, “Sensual `Kama Sutra' Arouses Censors' Ire / India's Mira Nair explores history, sexual politics in adaptation of classic tract”, SFGate, March 1997.

"Consider the state of "gay and lesbian" theatrical movies in the United States before 1969. Arguably there was no such thing, just a scattering of gay and lesbian directors, often closted, making films that were masquerading as mass-market heterosexual fare, albeit with the occasional gay or lesbian actor or subtle wink. If characters were openly identified as gay or lesbian on screen, it was most often for a punch line or tragic demise. George Cukor, Dorothy Arzner, James Whale: they were about fitting in, not standing "out." There were instead gay and lesbian audiences that adopted certain films as their own, celebrated subtexts and coded language, knew enough gossip to be able to identify gay and lesbian actresses, and prided themselves at being adept enough to read their own desires into the plots. The category was a relational one, constituted by the interaction of viewers with films."
