MOVIE REVIEWS

Compared to the brilliance of Nana Patekar, every other actor appears ordinary except Rukmini Vijayakumar who has done justice to her role. (Bommalattam)

	"Elegant in muted shades of grey and gold, Rukmini Vijayakumar, from Bangalore, displayed the same sense of aesthetics in her Bharatanatyam performance for Bharat Kalachar. Her style is like a supremely crafted piece of work, where every angle, tilt of the head or eye movement represents a chiselled moment of poetry. The effect was dynamic. ЕЕ.. The dancer displayed good stamina and control over laya in the Thanjavur Quartet's Kali Kauthuvam and in the kriti on Muruga composed in Sudha Saveri set to Adi taalam. In the latter, the movements in the theermanam mimicking the peacock were impressive as was the narrative on Muruga's birth. ЕЕЕЕЕ Rukmini's sparkling finale was a Valachi thillana, composed by Dwaraki Krishnaswamy and set to Aadi taalam." The Hindu, Aug 26th, 2005

ЕЕЕЕ. The danseuse with the perfect bhavam, demonstrated the piece so efficiently. Her stunning performance held the audience spellbound. Her Lord Nataraja pose in the Varnam, which she performed with ease, was highly appreciated." News Today, Aug 22nd 2005
