As a fan of Bharatanatyam, I really enjoy this clip. The setting is not Hollywood or Bollywood "fake" so that the art of the dance is highlighted. The combination of several clips of dance, shots of the musicians, some interview background on the dance style, and accurate text "translations" on the dance movements make for a visually and intellectually engaging clip.

I think the theme of the project is interesting to watch and know more, but the context which it has been placed looks amateurish. It appears as if it is done by someone who does not know about Camera and aesthetic of filming. It is not easy to pass everything as art for it requires an in depth understanding like the portrayed music.
