Plot[edit | edit source]

This is a movie which gives you knowledge about the origin of Kuchipudi dance. It is about people who considered a girl performing "Kuchipudi" dance an embarrassment and about a man who is fighting tooth and nail to pass on the heritage of "Kuchipudi". He finally manages to find a girl who he trains in "Kuchipudi". As girls learning Kuchipudi were not accepted in that era, he gets outcast from his caste, place and also the religious places.[1]
