    Salangai oli

    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.

    Can never get bored of this movie

    Just saw this movie for the Nth time....

    and i can never get bored of watching this beautifully made film....

    Sad part is i cant give more than 10 for this movie...

    Probably the best movie made in Telugu language.

    Human emotions and feelings were handled in a sensible way.... and the best love story i ever watched...

    Classical dance was portrayed with masterly touch...

    I don't think any other director can handle with such elegance...

    Kudos to K.Viswanath, Ilayaraja, Veturi.

    I am sure their magic cannot be repeated again... A masterpiece.

    This movie is highly recommendable.

    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.

    ARS GRATIA ARTIS

    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.

    a masterpiece of indian cinema

    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.
