A literary movie based mostly on a play in three acts, Ashad Ka Ek Din portrays the love of Mallika and Kalidasa, the famend Sanskrit poet and dramatist. Vilom, a good friend to each and concerned with Mallika, is a passive onlooker for the primary two acts. Kalidasa leaves his verdant mountain valley residence for the splendour of far off Ujjain, the place he wins fame. The motion of the movie is rooted within the village to which Kalidasa returns years later and finds Mallika married to Vilom and the mom of his baby. Mallika sacrificed her love in order that the poet may pursue his muse.
