Sagara Sangamam

It is such a wonderful movie from Vishwanath. with the music and dance and the sentiment, one can watch this movie many times. what a great dance and sequences by Kamala Haasan.. lovely songs...

This movie is a gem for two reasons. One, it had popularised the traditional dance forms of India in the telugu speaking land. Two, it is an excellent portrayal of complex emotions like Love, friendship, teacher-student relationship, and above all devotion to art.

When I saw this movie at age of 10, i thought it was boring. Very recently at age of 23 i watched this movie again, and was bowled over by the way Balu and Madhavi are portrayed in the movie. The love and affection between the characters is divine in nature. A must see for all.

Talking about one of my all time favourite movies should be easy right? Well thats not the case here. I first saw this movie when I was 12 years old and didnt understand what big fuss was about. Re-viewings would prove what a classic piece of confluence of art and emotions it was and why It was deservedly the National Award Winner.

Maestro K Vishwanath depicts the tale of of Balakrishna Bhagwathar, a dancer (brilliantly portrayed by Kamal Hassan), who goes to lengths to learn the various Indian classical dances. Whats most intersting about the movie is the way the director, Vishwanath, deals with the emotions of the poor and struggling dancer and an up and coming dancer.

Wish people out of India could also see this movie.

very good movie. good direction brilliant music and brilliant performances by the artists.

the drunkard who is also a columnist in a new paper comments about a dancer for some erratic movements. the girl and her fiancé call the drunkard and try to insult him ,but, insulted by him . he shows the dance movements to the dancer. it is later known that the dancer's mother and the drunkard were lovers in their younger days.

the girl keeps hating the drunkard but she is forced to take lessons from him. even the romance is handled in much more mature and appreciable manner.

brilliant performance by drunkard / dance master , drunkard's friend , dancer , dancer's mom .

Just saw this movie for the Nth time....

and i can never get bored of watching this beautifully made film....

Sad part is i cant give more than 10 for this movie...

Probably the best movie made in Telugu language.

Human emotions and feelings were handled in a sensible way.... and the best love story i ever watched...

Classical dance was portrayed with masterly touch...

I don't think any other director can handle with such elegance...

Kudos to K.Viswanath, Ilayaraja, Veturi.

I am sure their magic cannot be repeated again... A masterpiece.

This movie is highly recommendable.
