Dance like a man

Me being a fan of Shobhana had to watch this movie sooner or later. And that too it involved very important Indian traditions like Bharat Natyam and all. The movie beautifully depicts how the Indian culture is burdened by the dogmatic notions of the society. Even the so called progressive thinkers are unable to cross the orthodox principles to move into a more utilitarian society. The way this movie shows the complications involved in the inter-community marriages and male dominance of olden days is amazing. A nice watch for anyone interested in Indian culture.

I have watched the play written by mahesh dattani, the master story teller
it was really engrossing within that short time

If you liked the movie, you would surely like his other works.

Read Collected Plays (Paperback - January 2000) by Mahesh Dattani if u haven't before :)
