The story Malavika is based on poet-writer Kalidasa’s play Malavikagnimitra. Kalidasa is respected as one of the greatest poets and playwrights of all time. Scholars are not quite certain about the date in which kalidasa lived and wrote. From the 6th century BC to the 10th century AD, various dates various dates are proved and disproved to be the period in which Kalidasa lived. But when it comes to Kaladasa’s writings, there are no two opinions – they are unanimously considered exquisite.

As Kaladasa’s first play, malavikagnimtra has more of the young enthusiastic writer’s sense of fun, play and intrigue than the spectacular imagery and poetic expressions displayed in his later works. Kaladasa was a court poet and the play receals his first grand experience of the intrigue and cunning, and the jealousy, love and valour that rage behind royal curtains.

The poet’s more memorable works are abhijanna-Shakuntalam, Ritusamhara, Raghuvamsh, Kumarasambhava, Vikramorvashiya and famous Meghduta, which is matchless work of poetry. Kalidasa is respected all over the world as one of the greatest poets and playwrights. Some of his works have been translated into almost all the major languages of the world.
