Padmini Bharatanatyam Dance
Padmini Bharatanatyam Dance Performers: Padmini, M.G. Ramachandran Film: Mannathi Mannan, 1960 Starring: Padmini, M.G. Ramachandran, Ragini, Anjali Devi I hope I haven't misled anyone with the title, but I can't find the real title of the song. If anyone knows, please tell me and I'll change it. I went looking for movies featuring Padmini dancing, and this one has a couple of good dances. Unfortunately the DVD is among the worst I've ever seen, with heavy blocking, crushed blacks and blown out whites. I did what I could with it and then tinted it to make it more presentable. The menus were in Tamil (?) and I couldn't get the song titles. In addition, the subtitles were so crude as to be nearly useless, so I left them out as they didn't make much sense. It doesn't matter, though, as here the dance is the important thing. To me, anyway. The guy with the finger cymbols is praising Padmini, saying she's the best dancer, has danced before kings, has won many prizes, is unbeatable, and challenges anyone to compete against her. So MGR jumps in and beats her (!). High Quality version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hp4Wy1ulaM&fmt=18
