The film

‘The Cloud Door’ by Mani Kaul (1994): The first after Trishagni to show full-frontal nudity, pubic hair et al, though blurred because the action is underwater

‘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.

Underwater bathing sequence

‘The Cloud Door’ by Mani Kaul (1994): More blurred underwater nudity

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.

Love-making sequence

‘The Cloud Door’ by Mani Kaul (1994): There is nothing that the prolonged underwater sequence does not show

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.
