One Day Before the Rainy Season (1971) is a cinematic adaptation of a three-act play that delves into the romantic tale of Mallika and Kalidasa, the celebrated Sanskrit poet and playwright. Vilom, a mutual friend who harbors feelings for Mallika, observes their relationship from the sidelines during the initial two acts. Kalidasa departs from his lush mountain valley residence to seek glory in the distant city of Ujjain, where he achieves renown. The narrative unfolds as Kalidasa returns to his village years later, only to discover that Mallika has married Vilom and is now a mother. Mallika's profound love for Kalidasa led her to make a selfless sacrifice, allowing the poet to follow his artistic pursuits.
