India is the birthplace of love. There’s nowhere else in the world where so much is dedicated to the idolizing and immortalizing of the concept of romance. India was one of the first civilizations to recognize the human need for love and give cultural expression to that, in poems, pictures and monuments. LOVE IN INDIA looks at how the concept of love has evolved and changed over the centuries. From the Kama Sutra to Shak Rukh Khan’s Bollywood movies, the viewer is treated to a voyage of discovery looking into love’s promises and deceptions right up to the modern day.
