Thanks to Minai for unearthing this Kamala dance, among several others that I hadn’t seen before, for her great Tandav Dances post. As soon as I saw it, I thought of Padmini’s dance for “Mannavan Vanthanadi.”

If you would like to contact me, e-mail to chardsinger [at] yahoo.com. I also have a Facebook timeline, where I have been spending too much time. (But it is only partially like this blog in terms of subject matter.) Anyway, especially if you know me somewhat, and you are on Facebook, you might want to connect there. Send an e-mail so that we can talk more about it and maybe exchange URLs to “friend.”
Who is the goof ball that keeps appearing in each video? He drove me crazy in the first one and I could not watch it anymore. The second one ..hmm I could not get past the idiotic context in which it was presented.
What do you mean, “goof ball”? That’s Sivaji Ganesan!
I’m not sure, either, what you mean by “idiotic context” for the second one… I guess the design was a little over-the-top for some tastes, but wasn’t that the style of these ’60s Tamil devotional films?
By the way, I reviewed the movie that the second clip comes from, a year and nine months ago:

I was actually quite impressed by Sivaji’s acting in that film. Maybe he looks goofy to you, but I think he’s very good!
