SUTRA is the tale of two girls, Maya and Tara, one
a lowly servant, the other a noble princess, both
raised together as children. But whilst Tara is raised
as a Princess Maya, as her servant, is forever reminded
of her subordinate position. It is though her striking

exacts her revenge on Tara by seducing her husband
on her wedding day thus beginning a destructive struggle
for power where revenge is the goal, but tragedy the

Comments:
An Amazing Movie. This film crinkles the corners of
the soul. It is beautifully cast and artful. The story
navigates the twists and turns of love set in a time
long past and modern conventions don't often remind
us of the things that make love amazing. Indira Varma
is quite possible the most beautiful woman in the
world, and she plays Maya skillfully. The story draws
you in and makes you want for the characters, you
feel for them.
