[@dhrubanandaroy8398]

Arangetram is done after a dancer reaches a certain stage of mastery over her craft. It is done paying homage to her Gurus and parents. I do appreciate the Ambani family taking forward the tradition of this beautiful art form, but it is quite clear that apart from her beautiful face, her whole posture lacked the discipline of Bharatnatyam. She has a long , long way to go.

Sigh, yes. Needs a LOT more practise.

[@gonggipegu639]

Yes I do agree with you. As a student of Indian classical dance I know how long it takes to master the art of dance. Her posture, her movements, her mudras they still need a lot of improvement. Her dances still needs a lot of finishing. Only giving expressions won't make anything.

She has a good face for camera and emotions, ambani can launch her in movies. But bharatnatyam, can't be bought with money. Only the ones blessed by the goddess get that grace and mudras after years of sadhana and abhyas. Good to see Indian culture being hyped and promoted and that's a big plus.

The Ambanis are likely too conservative to launch her in the films. But she does have a good face for the camera and a good stage presence too I'm sure. It takes years of sadhana which she lacks as of right now.

[@JustMe54328]

There are so many talented women who can promote Bharatanatyam, she needed a little more expertise before the Arangetram

[@leahhhh7981]

To all the ppl giving her positive critisism thanks for being respectful for her efforts and not to mention i just read yesterday somewhere that she is learning since around 2016-2017 so def she has a long way to go but she's def giving the most possible efforts.

[@Jiji_here_431]

I guess the criticism is arriving because one two reasons, one that Arangetram is done when the disciple has completed the mastery over the dance form and does it to pay homage to her guru/s. It's achieved after years and years sometimes upto 2 decades of training to achieve that mastery over the dance form. Though mastery can be achieved within 5-6 years it requires immense dedication and practice. Radhika started learning around 2016-17 which is barely 6 years and as one can see she is yet to perfect the art form so having an Arangetram makes no sense. Secondly she's to be daughter in law of the Ambani's so unnecessary media coverage as well as the extreme grandeur for someone who is at best mediocre at her art rn.

[@pianoismyeverything]

If she learnt not that long ago then it's actually very good but they could have not performed this specific ceremony which is done after decades of perfecting your craft

[@srirukminiiyer]

Just because one has money doesn't give them right to totally humiliate something worthy of tremendous respect, she needed to be taken off of the stage! Totally disagree

[@bhu9347]

Within 6 years of continuous learning, one can gain perfection in Bharatanatyam. Probably she was learning other classical forms along with Bharatanatyam and chose to do Bharatanatyam arangetram. Her Bharatanatyam still needs a lots to go. Some expressions were good but there is no perfection in the mudras.

[@swathisuchitra]

She is beautiful 🥰 yes her Bharathnatyam needs more practice but still she is a delight to watch. Respect for the family for promoting Indian culture.

[@hamburgerandspriteeyelash]

thats true! i j hope it was a mere performance or a ceremony rather than an arangetram

Those who argue that she would have been tense performing in front of celebrities should also understand that it doesn’t justify basic shortcomings like lack of proper aramandi posture and mudras.

With such an amount of affluence, there aren't that many who would stick to tradition grounded in modesty. Though Radika looks like an amateur in her dancing she is mature for her age in every other aspect which would help her in the long run. And the bond between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is amazing. Looks more like the bond between a mother and daughter. For me it's heart warming to see this when I am witnessing feud between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law all around. Radhika has an innocence about her. God bless her

[@nlalam]

Wow! I was completely moved by her emotional expressiveness. It evoked such feelings of sentimentality in me, which I usually feel when listening to Hindustani classical music. Such a beautiful rendition of Kathak in a theatrical format. ❤

[@secretaryofjinfromjinhit]

Girl it is not Kathak...Kathak has a Rangmanch Pravesh while other dance styles have Arangetram. First read and watch the video and description.

[@nlalam]

@@secretaryofjinfromjinhit I meant that the dancer herself is emulating the bhava prakatas part of the Kathak dance. She's definitely not doing Bharatanatyam. If you think it is Bharatanatyam, then show me her ode to Nataraja of Chidambaram in her entire performance. Also, don't go around giving free knowledge where it is uncalled for. Names may change, but content reflects what the form truly is, by nature. So, please refrain from correcting others when you are full of half-baked concoctions floating in your mind, just to peddle off meaningless jargon in a semi-literate section of commentary in a corner of KZbin. Okay? Good. Bye. Have s pleasant day. Hope I never hear from you again.

Hopefully she continues to learn , improve & promote classical art in future.

You can definitely see a difference in her performance from many others. However considering she has less than 10yrs and started as an adult this was a joy to watch. Many of us adults are just now being able to follow our dreams of practicing the Classical Arts and reaching the level of Arangetram. I hope that when I have my Arangetram, which will be at 45 years old with 10yrs experience, that people are much more kind to me than they are being to this lovely woman.

A lot of people say a lot things here. However, I grew up watching bharatnatyam and know what I'm saying. I think her abhinay is beautiful and footwork is strong. Her postures...her ang needs a lot of improvement. I'm unable to see a sense of proportion in her body which only comes with better dance postures. I hope it comes with time and practice. Her araimandi can also get deeper. She needs to practise more and especially watch other senior bharatnatyam dancers perform. The piece in the orange costume was relatively better. Kudos to her for how she took the pressure of such a grand show and her passion for the dance. This is just an arangetram and not a big deal unlike some people say. Dancers always grow. These days there is a lot of hype around arangetrams. Although I have seen better arangetrams honestly I think this was good enough for an arangetram/debut. Some aspects of this art take years to master. Keep going and never stop.

[@tejaswinisingh]

[@sundarihema25]

Disagree. As a dancer and a teacher, of my student is on this level, I will send her to junior examinations.. Not arangetram. Body is heavy, posture is sloppy.

[@lovereachable]

@@sundarihema25 Right. Postures are definitely bad. Like I said, I couldn't find any sense of proportion in her body. Araimandi can also be better. Also, I have a feeling she's bending her knees forward instead of flexing them outward in the araimandi sqat, at some points (not talking about the sabari character here...i mean even otherwise). The bent knee araimandi posture should also be deeper...she can afford to sit deeper...relative to her height. I hope she takes home a lesson from this. Just a hope...because everyone who came for the performance must have praised her. Who wants to hurt her family's ego? I wrote what I did because youth taking to classical arts itself is a good sign I think.

Radhika Merchant is a beginner in Bharatnatyam! The gestures of Bharatnatyam must be spontaneous!

[@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk]

I think that's why some people are disappointed. She is a beginner, she was no where close to ready for her Arangetram. She should've waited a few more years. Not sure how her Guru allowed it.

[@jollygood4819]

She is stunning. So gorgeous.

[@shobatk7481]

Regardless of status of people in society, rich / poor, Indian classical dance is liked by all . Ambani's, the pride of India takes every opportunity to uplift Indian tradition and culture as part of their life!!! Nita mam, you are a great mom . Love you all Ambanis❤️❤️

[@jayaramprabhu5595]

Indian traditional classical dance are liked by all but who are the invitees to this event. It's creamy layers of the society & party animals plus high society socialites who are addicted to booze & drugs. These people doesn't know anything about culture & tradition. 🤣

[@amiyamazudermazumder5301]

Our girls should start to learn our Idian culture.

[@JustMe54328]
