While his clues are very easy to crack, what really puzzles us is the logical gaps in them. He throws hints at us and asks us to take a guess. Vijay doesn’t really explain everything for the audience. How come? The director doesn’t really try to explain it for he knows that would sound very foolish. Why? Because she holds the art of dance responsible for her lost love. Her mother Nandini (Aishwarya Rajesh) is against letting her pursue her passion.
Lakshmi (Ditya Bhande) was born a dancer so much so that she busts into a dance hearing a mobile ringtone. And he has been more clever in picking the cast, which is made up of mainly adorable and supremely talented children.
Just to ensure that the audience doesn’t leave the auditorium at the halftime, he has cleverly written the story around children. Or the vested interests planning an accident to prevent the protagonist from taking part in the finals.ĭirector AL Vijay’s dance film Lakshmi falls into the same trap.

It is as if the filmmakers don’t know how to make a dance film anymore without tropes like a top dance competition. The filmmakers presume that the audience will be magnanimous enough to overlook the absence of an engaging story and screenplay as long as the films have a slew of good dance performances. Films like Raghava Lawrence’s Style, which is loud and unintelligent, and ABCD series, which are flashy and melodramatic, make for dance films these days.

Influenced by Hollywood Step Up series, we have had a series of modern-day dance films that were mostly devoid of meaningful plot or real emotions. In the 21st century, we are yet to see a meaningful dance film like Salangai Oli. But, mainly because the film had a very strong and hard-hitting plot which was handled by veteran director K Viswanath with the skill of a remarkable tragedian. It is the best dance drama not just because of the terrific performances of its star cast and the well-choreographed classical dance pieces. Prabhudheva added it was gutsy of the producers to back such a subject and not bet on a regular commercial film with songs, dance and fights.If you ask me which is India’s best dance film, without a moment’s hesitation I’d say Kamal Haasan’s Salangai Oli (Sagara Sangamam in Telugu). Also starring Aishwarya Rajesh, Karunakaran and Salman Yusuf Khan, the film has been produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallappa.

Lakshmi is a film that’ll make audiences laugh, cry and celebrate.” Having made films that have appealed to all sections of the audiences, Vijay has handled a dance film in a very sensible way. The last 25 minutes of the film will be a dance fest, yet it’ll be highly emotional.
I believe Lakshmi will set a benchmark for dance-based films which are rare in Tamil cinema. He had a clear vision about what he was doing and he successfully pulled it off. “When I agreed to do the project, I told Vijay that if we do a dance-based film then it should really stand out. Having already worked in dance-based films such as ABCD and ABCD 2, Prabhudheva didn’t want to do another film in the same genre just for the heck of it.
