Girish Karnad's Utsav (1984) is a true piece of art, sculptures and costumes.

Vasantsena a courtier in search of love flatters

Charudatta who is a married man and how she gets along with his family.

Aditi (Charudatta's Wife) when asked why she let's her (Vasantsena) stay in her house even when she should be against it.

She tells various reason to let her stay but I have found one reason that she doesn't is she also likes Vasantsena more than just as his husband's lover.

The role of the king who desires Vasantsena was to be played by Amitabh Bachchan but for medical reasons he couldn't and the producer (Shashi Kapoor) himself played the role.

It is based on 2nd Century BC sanskrit play,

Mrichakatika ( The Little Cart) by Sudraka.
