Advisory for children under 18: Though these are scenes from an art film made by an intellectual film director, though the film is based on two Sanskrit classics and though all the scenes shown here are available on the Net, we would still advise children under 18 to avoid this page.
‘The Cloud Door’ by Mani Kaul (1994) is a short Indo-German film that begins with Anu Arya Agarwal (of ‘Aashiqui’ fame) apparently topless on the sets of the film: though the viewer gets to see only what an intervening birdcage will allow.
Then there is a prolonged (though slightly blurred) underwater bathing sequence in which several absolutely naked young women swim past each other, showing their breasts, pubic hair, derrieres, everything.
Finally, there is a prolonged love-making sequence in which Kum. Agarwal is topless, easily the longest and most vivid display of breasts by any Indian film actress. The 28 minute film is freely available on YouTube. However, it was probably not screened in regular theatres in India.
