I have hated the guys who become "girly" after learning classical Indian dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak and what not......Man I hate it when men do that. Leave those feministic facial expressions to women! I was against it till I came across these videos. It has the legendary Kamal Hassan, the versatile Indian actor. He starred as a classical dancer way back in 1982 in the movie sagara sangamam which received the National Award for the best film at that time and the guy simply rocks!!! He dances the way a MAN should be dancing rather than incorporate feminine moves to them. I loved him in the movie which was dubbed into tamil and malayalam at that time and it became a stupendous success.......
The above video features the versatile actor Kamal Hassan and the ever beautiful Jayaprada together and the music is by ilayaraja and sung by S.P Balasubrahmaniam
The movie is shown as a flashback and due to some circumstances the main protagonist(kamal hassan) fails to become a well known dancer eventhough he deserved it and in the end becomes a journalist or art critic in a paper and makes fun of a dancer in his column and the girl who has only had people shower her with false appreciation thinks she is a big shot till she meets Kamal Hassan, who shows her how to dance to the same music in 3 different ways in "Bharatnatyam" ,"Kathak" and "kathakali" and it just blows you away! check it out below.
Isn't the actor something else? He is just so bloody versatile and I wish we had more actors like him! and please a request to all the male classical dancers out there, please show your masculinity in the movement. I know for portraying certain themes one has to show a bit feminity, but please, nobody likes a guy dancing the way a female should!
What is your opinion guys?
