    sensual costume drama

    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
