‘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=

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=

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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odbN7ULJ9BM YouTube]. However, it was probably not screened in regular theatres in India.
=Full-frontal nudity?=

Contrary to media reports [http://in.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/popvulture/11-bollywood-stars-who-went-naked.html],  Anu Agarwal, who debuted in 'Aashiqui, did '' not '' do the full Monty in this film. However, the model-cum-actress regaled audiences with her top in greater detail than any Indian actress had, before or after.

At least two other actresses, in bit roles, did indeed do the full Monty in the prolonged bathing sequence.
