“this little erotic thriller has the added attraction of being set in exotic India, complete with the erotic carvings on temples u0026amp; themes of re-incarnation. of course, other films have used those elements too (Tropical Heat, Monsoon, etc). only this time, the Indian girl is played by Shannon McLeod. it wouldu0026#39;ve been REALLY something if the (then-popular) Bollywood star Anu Agarwal had played the role as planned, but she dropped out after shooting began u0026amp; Ms. McLeod came in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003estill, i doubt Anu would have done the kind of steamy scenes Shannon did (with ample nudity). however, all that hard work by Shannon is somewhat clumsily u0026amp; hurriedly edited, which mean either that the film was tampered with post-release, or that B Subhash canu0026#39;t even make good softcore films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003efor some reason, this is a really obscure title (a while back this didnu0026#39;t even exist on this website!!!). i was lucky enough to have seen it back in 1997. despite its shortcomings, this one is worth looking for.”
