Sagara Sangamam

Talking about one of my all time favourite movies should be easy right? Well thats not the case here. I first saw this movie when I was 12 years old and didnt understand what big fuss was about. Re-viewings would prove what a classic piece of confluence of art and emotions it was and why It was deservedly the National Award Winner.

Maestro K Vishwanath depicts the tale of of Balakrishna Bhagwathar, a dancer (brilliantly portrayed by Kamal Hassan), who goes to lengths to learn the various Indian classical dances. Whats most intersting about the movie is the way the director, Vishwanath, deals with the emotions of the poor and struggling dancer and an up and coming dancer.

Wish people out of India could also see this movie.

It is such a wonderful movie from Vishwanath. with the music and dance and the sentiment, one can watch this movie many times. what a great dance and sequences by Kamala Haasan.. lovely songs...

this movie is truly a cornerstone for all kinds of cinematic expression, as far as indian art is concerned. very unfortunate that present day cinema (indian) has been overtaken by crass storytelling and thinly veiled attempts to dump undeserving kith and kin of who's who on the unsuspecting audiences. kamal haasan performs his work beautifully as a struggling but talented dancer who lives( and dies) for his art in a moving portrayal. it must be one of his greatest roles in the past two decades.

i am yet to see another presenter of k.vishwanath's class in movie-making for a long time.technical wizards, yes, but true creators of evergreen masterpieces , hmm..., , i don't think so.

and to think every director(read " son/brother/daughter/sister of .... who has chosen to make the business his fiefdom") talks about his new

" attempt to emulate vishwanath" today with a poker face!!!!

i am sorry but , at least in hindi and telugu cinema, sorry, no ---i think few of you deserve to be there.

this is certainly not a movie to be missed.

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were good. The movie lagged a lot at 1st half. The movie was interesting at 2nd half. This movie had one of the Best Performance of Kamal Haasan. Good Movie.

Sagara Sangamam is one of those few Indian dance films which are really good. I think only Kamal Haasan could do this. Because he danced with such perfection and also acted brilliantly. Jaya Prada was looking gorgeous in the film. She shared such a beautiful chemistry with Haasan.

Some emotional moments will touch your heart directly. I think only problem of the film is it's Runtime. Otherwise if you're a Kamal Haasan admirer then you should definitely watch this film. Ilaiyaraaja won National Film Award for Best Music Direction. The film is listed among CNN-IBN's list of 100 greatest Indian films of all time.

You can watch the film on Amazon Prime Video.
