This classic is really well re-made.
One can not say more of the story-line as this has been remade so many times. I was surprised that the first version was made in 1925. The setting and costumes are really classical and the acting by all three lead actors tugs on one's emotional strings. The two mothers also had their share of fine performance.
The dancing in this movie is one of the best. The solo classical dancing of Chandramukthi is exquisite; every movement of her body down to the fingers and eye movements tells something. Ash really look beautiful here. The coupled dancing by Ash and her later on was also very well done and enjoyable. No wonder MJ went to India to learn dancing! He really had a thing or two to learn from India.
