Taalam Talkies S01 E03 - Kamala's Natyam

The last and final episode of season 1 with the vivacious Ramaa Bharadvaj, a befitting end to this journey of Kamala's dance in Indian Cinema
Born on June 16, 1934, with a career span of more than five decades on the stage and three on the silver screen, Kamala, the prime disciple of Natyacharya Vazhuvoor Ramaiah Pillai, is acknowledged as the foremost exponent of the 'Vazhuvoor Bani', a style characterised by grace, finesse and aesthetic appeal.
Our host for the first season Ramaa Bharadvaj is an award-winning performer, movement-designer, folk-storyteller, acclaimed writer and arts-curator. After 31 years in the US, she moved back to India and currently lives in Bengaluru. Ramaa believes that every life is a story waiting to be danced or narrated, and that it should be lived with curiosity and expressed with humor!

4:51 is some of the best dancing from Kamala I’ve seen in film… she’s amazing and pushed the art form to new heights, her legacy should always be looked at with respect

[@bhuvanavenkatesh818]

Such a beautiful series! Just completed watching all the three episodes. It was scintillating to watch every move of the great dancer with such grace & agility. Such unique dance movements we rarely get to see. With the way Rama akka was weaving the narration, it was more exciting at every episode's ending. Wish the series never ended & more to watch. Thank you so much for this beautiful production!

[@Krishna-yw7qc]

Excellent dancer.. பத்மினி வைஜெயந்தி மாலா இவர் முன்னாடி நாட்டியத்தில் தூசு.. ஆனால் அதிர்ஷ்டம் அவர்களுக்கு கிடைத்தது...இது போல் நாட்டிய மேதைகளுக்கும் பெண் இல்லாமல் ஒரே ஒரு பையன் தான் இருக்கிறார்கள். இவர்கள் திறமையை வாரிசுகளுக்கு தர முடியவில்லை.. மற்ற மாணவிகளுக்கு சொல்லி கொடுத்தாலும் இவர்களது நாட்டிய திறமை வரவில்லை
