n this DVD pack, ‘Padma Bhushan’ Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, along with Jayanthi Subramaniam unfold the delights of Nayikabhava with an exposition on Ashtanayikas- the heroines categorized by the natyashastras under 8 different heads according to their emotional status..

In an exhaustive and aesthetic manner it presents the mindset, moods, conflicts, cogitations, tempers and tantrums of Kalahantarita , the heroine who defies all accepted norms and ventures out to meet her lover at a predetermined place.

The highlight of this product is a classroom session involving ‘Padma Bhushan’ Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, (‘Maami’ to her students), the greatest Abhinaya exponent of our times & Jayanthi Subramaniam , her distinguished disciple.

‘Maanini Vinavey’, a padam by Karveti Nagar Govindaswamy forms the pivot of maami’s engaging elucidation of Kalahantarita. Then follows a sprightly demo of this padam by Jayanthi Subramaniam.

Maami provides some practical tips for teachers and also students at different levels- beginners, those reasonably well-trained and foreign students who are not very familiar with our cultural milieu.

There is a wealth of information on how to approach the composition, understand its meaning and the mood it portrays before actually getting down to performance.
