+Vishwanath’s sequel to Shankarabharanam
+(1979) concentrated on classical dance. The
+drunken dance critic Balakrishna Bhagavatar
+(Kamalahasan) writes a review denouncing a
+mediocre but much-touted dancer (Sailaja). It
+turns out, in a flashback, that the dancer is the
+daughter of the reviewer’s old flame Madhavi
+(Jayapradha). Madhavi persuades Balakrishna
+to teach her daughter. He eventually dies of a
+broken heart but his pupil achieves mastery in
+classical dance so that the classical art (cf.
+Shankarabharanam) will live on. The film is
+dominated by Kamalahasan, who
+demonstrated a remarkable, unexpected skill to
+dance the Bharat Natyam, although the rest of
+the film’s classicism is pure kitsch.
