These shrines are known as the Divya Desams. The Alvars sung these songs at various sacred shrines. The Prabandha sings the praise of Narayana (or Vishnu) and his many forms. The works were lost before they were collected and organized in the form of an anthology by Nathamuni. The work is the beginning of the canonization of the 12 Vaishnava poet saints, and these hymns are still sung extensively even today. The Nalayira Divya Prabandha (or Nalayira Divya Prabhandham) is a collection of 4,000 verses (Naalayira in Tamil means 'four thousand') composed before 8th century AD, by the 12 Alvars, and was compiled in its present form by Nathamuni during the 9th – 10th centuries. On the whole, "Maya Ravana" was an effort in bringing classical and semi-classical together making it stand somewhere inbetween! Infact selection of all characters has been regarded well and excellent sychronization. Though, the death of Ravana was not that very dramatic as was expected (though i also guess, this might have been purposefully underplayed )
The final war between rakshasas and vanaras was also very well choreographed. Mandodhari had a played her role very well and seetha suited to her character aptly. songs like "Narumgaye", "Chinnamma chilamma", parineeta's song (i dont quite remember the title now), and few old malayalam and tamil songs were used for bharatanatyam dance was inept.
#Pariksha bharatanatyam song movie
The drama would have been well appreciated if movie songs were restrained from usage. and like the agni pariksha of seetha, forced by lakshamana and not by rama! I could find a lot of twists done to the epic by the writers of the play! Like hanuman had to introduce himself to Rama rather that Rama figuring it out by the Chudamani Hanuman wore. a very good thought, were all the vanaras chanted it in their own style and voice. The scene where Hanuman chalisa was chanted by the Vanaras was fabulous. few scenes were very emotional and effective like the sringar rasa of ravana towards seetha, conversation between ravana and mandodhari and the description of Ravana himself and his lonliness during the night he was to die.īut, i would have appreciated if words such as "you old donkey" describing ravana by seetha would have not been employed. The dramatic dialogues (all in English) was a great asset. a lot of Odissi and mainly semi-classical dance steps were showcased.A good bold try on the stage in India i should say. One would have to search for bharatanatyam steps in the ballet. The well publicized show and the famous actress could have been the reason for the mad rush. The designer-costumes, visuals effects and the music (though with a lot of box office hits). rather only to lift and to shoot it was portrayed! another drawback i should say in showcasing the great epic "Ramayana". This 'spirit of ravana' entering mantra inturn into kaykeyi took the audience aback!ĭuring the 'Seetha Swayamvaram'.the very well known "break-the- bow -of -lord shiva" was absent. 'Mantra' laid by the 'spirit of Ravana' was a self made twist in the epic, where Kaykeyi gets influnced to send Lord Rama in excile for 14 yrs. It was held at APS college grounds and the grounds was filled with people all over.Įxpressions, music, narration by famous film industry persons, visual effects was a beauty to watch and hear! where shobhana takes the role of kaykeyi in the start and then Mayavi ravana.
