About Mahakavi Kalidas
Mahakavi Kalidas Directed by R. R. Chandran. Princess Vidyotama vows to marry the man who defeats her in debate, but she wins every time. Through a ruse, her spurned suitors manage to marry the princess to the simpleminded Kalidas. Ashamed of his ignorance, Kalidas becomes a seeker of knowledge and is bestowed with wisdom by the goddess Kali. This moving story of love and enlightenment is based on legends surrounding real-life poet Mahakavi Kalidas.
Directed by R. R. Chandran, Mahakavi Kalidas leans on a strong ensemble — Sivaji Ganesan, Sowcar Janaki, K. B. Sundarambal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1966.
