[delphineshailu]

Nandini you are great odissi dancer, all the best

[RestaurationWorks]

Nandini, your abhinaya is superb! I enjoyed your beautiful face tremendouly and the expressions of Radha's bhavas are excellent... Thank you for sharing.

I'm a dancer of bharatanatyam myself and the krsna padams are my favorite pieces.

[Leadingnorth]

Wow!! I can't believe it took me so long to find you. Beautiful!!

Thankyou for sharing.

It is always a pleasure to watch your performance. Infact, the expressions coupled with the beautiful mudras makes it mesmerizing as well as inspiring for young dancers like us. Watching you on television and then again in the classical form only raises the respect for your multi-talented personality.

Finally! No high-pitched tone singing from a woman! *sighs* So refreshing :-). I like this style of singing much much better. Please post more clips with the singer in it.

[Miakouzuki]

I can't believe how someone can dance as beautifully as you do..........i am currently learning shankara pallavi n hope i get to be at least half as good as you!

[ramanbhasker09]

beautiful performance, indeed.

[Akbarnoorbasha]

Very very Beautiful! Indeed

[apandaybuitenhuis]

Dear Nandini, I have no words to describe your beautiful abhinaya expression. As a Bharata Natyam dancer you really touched me with your Orissi. If you ever come to Holland please contact me to see a live performence from you.

[indian12american]

omg..this is sooo gooodd

[indian12american]

beautiful mudras

[seaofshe]

I love how expressive her face is-- it makes her movements even more evocative and draws us in. She's a storyteller AND a dancer!

[bhedabhedi]

you are God's gift to us!

[piasen1969]

Loved the dance, also loved the song...what's it called ? Would love to put on my ipod ?

[nandinighosal]

'Pranosongini re kali mu ki laje budhili ' is an old Oriya song written by the famous poet Banamali Das.

[piasen1969]

Thanks :) I'm Bengali, so I could follow about 70% of the words...and loved the haunting melody. Your abhinaya is exquisite!

[radioclima]

Great! I really hope to see you, one day, in Milan. Namastè.

[Raneesh11111]

Beautiful Perfomence Nandini.Really good facial expressions.All the best

[bharatanatyam2]

elegant and highly refined abhinay - but still in the human manner (as you say in your interview on webindia).

why don't you try to do it not in the human manner (well, the influence of the filmy world...), but in the way Krishna himself could have done it?

(btw, some torso twists are not very seamless )

[nandinighosal]

When Krishna in disguise imitates the gait of a woman the torso movements are exaggerated as opposed to the subtle movements of Radha (the uttama nayika). They have been intentionally choreographed that way. I am glad you noticed. I think this is a very human episode....when I show Krishna performing one of his miraculous feats I would definitely depict it in a god-like manner.

[sanjitas]

@nandinighosal ,I like this bhajan very much , but want to be very honest, one - the accent is very bad. Its not justification to the original language, besides the singer seems to have not enough classical singing background. The strong points seem to be dragged. The entire song including aalap is dragged in one flat scale. It's killing the odissi bhajan basically. With all due respect to the artist, I wanted to be very truthful. regards.

[shant10]

Beautiful and perfect with your moviments. Sucess!!!!!

[laurenvega123]

Hello, your dancing is absolutely marvelous! I am entranced when I watch you. You remind me so of a young Sanjukta Panigrahi who is also incredible. I would be lying if I didn't say I like you a bit more. Take care :D

[bollymasti827]

she kinda resembles shilpa shetty

[devjoy2dev]

Why can't dancers be more like her .....This is the pride of Srjan ...Dancers lack the delicateness and beauty expecially odissi so called dancers in abroad .

[VisvaGeet]

Easily said than done!

I think Nandini is delicately built, apart from her talent and trainig of course. If a so called dancer from abroad is built otherwise, he or she has to come up with that.

[shridanyam]

Good performance.Very nice..

I suggest you upload the same in 'Dynamycdesi'.It is a online talent contest site for people.

[Oumkul]

Thank you for sharing this!, you took me to another world!

[Gopidasi]

Thank you for sharing this lovely story of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna through your beautiful dance.

[minaiminai]

Wow. Wow. Amazing. I was enthralled from the minute the video began. Such gracefulness, soft limberness- beautiful!
