Utsav

Indian director Girish Karnad adapted the Sanskrit play "The Golden Toy Chariot" for this love story. Through a coincidence, a royal courtesan falls in love with a poor poet which has unexpected consequences. Set in 6 AD India, at the time when the Kama Sutra was written, Karnad brings the lavish period alive by mixing the play with musical interludes without losing sight. Indian superstar Rekha stars as the beautiful courtesan while producer Shashi Kapoor provides solid support. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
