Summary: Folk mythological-biopic of Sanskrit poet and
dramatist Kalidasa. The illiterate but wise
shepherd (Kannada superstar Rajkumar) is
made to dress up as a prince by a wicked
minister (Balkrishna) who wants to get even
with the King for having rejected his son as a
match for the Princess. The Princess
(Jayapradha) marries the impostor, but when
she discovers the truth, she prays to Kali to
grant her husband the gift of learning. The
wish is granted but the shepherd, now
Kalidasa, loses his memory and ends up as an
admired and envied poet in the court of
Bhojaratna. The Princess follows him there and
the two are reunited after much intrigue.
