Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKamal Haasan is classically trained in Bharathanatyam but the film required him to perform other forms of classical dances as well. So Kamal, amidst his busy schedule, took a few weeks to train himself in Kathak and Kathakali. Interestingly he performed Kathak again 28 years later in Vishwaroopam.
Featured review
Perhaps the best movie ever made in Telugu
For those who have read economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility does not work here. This movie continues to grow on you. I have seen this time and again and would love to see it again.
For the casual observer it might appear to be a movie based on a failed classic dancer but it is much beyond that. True, it has popularised the classical dance format to such an extent that every time I see this movie, I repent not learning. Much beyond the dance, this movie is an amazing portrayal of human emotions.
And anything I talk about the music is less. Veturi has penned lyrics in a manner, which have made him the legend he is and Ilayaraja, the maestro, gave life to the lyrics. Its been 23 years since the movie has released but the songs are still considered the best Telugu Movies have ever seen.
About the performances, anything said is less. Kamal Hassan and Jayaprada have always received rave reviews for their performances in this movie but another actor who deserves a mention is Sarath Babu. Spell binding performance. Not to forget, Jandhyala's dialogues render life to the characters.
