Most helpful review Utsav

  • sensual costume drama

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Arun from Liverpool, UK , 31 May 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Based on the play Charudatta, this film boasts of realistic sets and costumes for the period. It captures Ujjain in its glorious era.

    the romance between vasantsena, a prostitute and Charudatta, a poor Brahmin unfolds amidst a successful coup attempt to overthrow an evil king. The hedonistic people who could afford all pleasures virtually unmindful of a tyrannt continue the festival of spring when there is change of guard.

    Rekha is glamorous and gorgeous. Shekar Suman debuts convincingly.

    Shashi Kapoor is the villian who stalks Vasantsena.

    Amjad Khan as Vatsayana, author of Kamasutra evokes few laughs.

    A different kind of costume drama with a slow pace

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Anita Richards from Harrow , 26 Sep 2008
    this film is dubbed and it has a good cast but its made in merchant ivory style and the actors don't have there own voices which is good and its well directed shashi kapoor produced this film and i don't think it was very successful at the cinema but its a bit on par to ashoka
