Then when Madhavi departs with her husband, Balu takes and keeps a photo of the couple as a reminder to himself of what had to be. The photo fails and all that can be seen is a worried Madhavi and ghostlike blur of Balu. One of the most moving examples is when Balu and Madhavi try to use the timer thingie to take a picture of themselves together. She gives a sensitive portrayal of a woman who is tempted by a love she cannot act on and manages to be sympathetic despite having been, at best, deceptive by omission.ДЄs it happens, she is SailajaвЂ™s mother, and so BaluвЂ™s life turns back on itself as Madhavi secretly engages him as a dance teacher for the stylish but shallow girl. Jayaprada is lovely and manages to be light and funny as young Madhavi without being shrill or giggly, ably matching Kamal Haasan in the physical comedy. This episodic style seems apt as her love for Balu is revealed through her candid and perceptive snapshots of him long before either of them acknowledges any feelings. Her side of the story is also revealed through flashbacks.

Madhavi tracks down her old friend and would be lover through the newspaper and Ragu. There were lively glimpses of BaluвЂ™s character in a couple of scenes that made me believe in the friendship, and perhaps I missed a lot in the dialogues. IвЂ™m not entirely sure why Ragu stuck by his friend as he seemed to give endlessly to an often ungrateful sod. Sarath BabuвЂ™s role was small but he is a constant and reassuring presence and instilled Ragu with an air of integrity and generosity. I could empathise with Balu, but I really wanted him to see sense and find a way to bend before he broke.

He falls into a bottle after losing his mother, missing his big dance debut and then learning that Madhavi is not free to return his love (she is married to a man who looked absolutely miserable in their wedding photos).

Because he is such a perfectionist and intolerant of things that donвЂ™t fit his vision, Balu is ill equipped to deal with setbacks. Life seems set and success is just around the corner so naturally, I expected a tragedy. He adds some sweet comedic flourishes dancing with kitchen utensils, and plays up to his mother who dreams of seeing Balu on stage. Despite his dedication to dance as a pure art form, Balu isnвЂ™t a total stick-in-the-mud. This is one of my all time favourite film dance sequences and I love it for its joyous emotion, simplicity and the brilliant editing. Balu dances his joy, pain and despair вЂ“ he dances his heart out and it is hard to look away. Yes, there are some dubious wardrobe moments and bizarre posturing, but they were intentionally ridiculous, being BaluвЂ™s commentary on the commercialisation of dance. Since we more or less know how the story ends before it begins, it really does require a great performance to keep a viewer engaged on the way to the foregone conclusion, and he delivers. The fragments fall together to make a cohesive story, and it is easy to follow the narrative. ItвЂ™s a big challenge for a film maker, and in this instance it is handled beautifully by K. She gives him many opportunities, and becomes more than a sponsor in his eyes.Д®ach episode reveals something more of BaluвЂ™s character and how he came to be in his current situation. He also meets Madhavi (Jayaprada) who is wealthy and happy to be his patron. He has his mother, dance, and his friend Ragu (Sarath Babu). He wants to be successful but is held back by his dislike of the shallow sexified version of dance that is in demand (and is perhaps dismayed by the outfits).Д«aluвЂ™s world is small.

Young Balu is a poor boy, dedicated to dance in many forms вЂ“ and a purist.
