Its the movie which shows ...ART never dies...
This is a Telugu language film starring Kamal Haasan and Jaya Prada.This is a dance based film most enjoyable for the dance performances of Kamal and acting skills of Jaya Prada.
This movie is easily one Kamal Haasan's most impressive performances acting wise and dance wise. Especially in the 80s, it would've been so different to see the hero dance with the heroine watching.
Direction--excellent, writing-- excellent, acting--excellent, cinematography--excellent, Music-- excellent, editing--excellent, costumes--excellent, art direction-- excellent Overall a masterpiece supported by the masters of the crafts.
This movie is a gem for two reasons. One, it had popularised the traditional dance forms of India in the telugu speaking land.
One of the best telugu movies of all time,excellent performance by Kamal Hasan as an Indian classical dancer who fails to make it big & takes to alcohol.Jayaprada plays the role of an admirer who helps him to get into a big classical event ,Kamal falls in love with her ,not knowing that she is already married but living alone.
K Viswanadh direction, Ilaiyaraaja Music, Kamalhaasan acting and dance performances are fabulous and no single point i can ignore to highlight in the movie.It is the stage for Kumari Shailaja(S.
A hit movie based on classical dance is something unimaginable. But was pulled off by K.
