Watch it for the dancing, songs, acting, and cinematography
contactnsk29 October 2021
Great dance choreography, costumes, songs and cinematography. The sets and locations were very attractive and visually stunning.

The core premise of the story was a little confusing.

Spectacular Artistry and Dance
A-Thunder2 December 2023
A story woven through two time periods (modern day and British Colonization) and two cultures (traditional/rural and western/urban). I found the juxtaposition of the two quite clever and the respect for cultures handled well. The story is captivating, revolving around a young woman's ambition to perform a tradition dance of a forbidden story in her village, and a young man's ambition to take his dance team to a world-wide competition. Although the plot was simple to guess from here, the story itself still held some unexpected plot twists and provoked thought about the concept of identity and the meaning of honor in both a modern and traditional culture.

Ultimately, I love that the story promotes hard work, ethic, mutual respect and understanding, and to be ambitious about reaching for one's dreams.

Kamal kamaraju's and sandhya Raju Intro song, "Namah shivaya cha Namah Shivayah " Grandeur Goosebumps Moment of the Story!!! Connected To The Souls, Last Kadhambari story was Extraordinary.

Each and every element Is a Gem factor to the Movie.

Revanth Sir Thank you so much for presenting Natyam Movie To This Generation people.

Don't see a movie from meme pages
vikram-3170829 October 2021
This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I just watched this movie by seeing their promotions on meme pages. I was excited to see a movie which is meant to be our cultural representative. But I was very disappointed to see the movie. I was just literally asleep during the movie. But I applaud the efforts made by the entire movie team to make this movie. But ultimately the movie experience matters the most which I missed in this movie.

All the best to the entire team. 👍

Big Disappointment
santosh053517 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Thought more about classical dances and all. Felt like an artificial lovestory and it didn't suit in the movie, to save a superstition and marriage between a British and Indian all felt like forced scenes.. Apart from 1-2 dance performances, remaining all felt like they don't belong in this movie.. just my opinion..

Superficial, Frivolous and Insincere Attempt
sudheerabbaraju28 December 2021
To summarize - The movie felt like it was made to promote the lead actress more than anything else, which is understandable because she's the producer.

Saddest part is it doesn't stand up for the title of the film. Though it is supposedly about dance, it doesn't do justice at all to ANY dance form.

Weak storyline, half cooked characters, poor acting, pretentious, insincere and frivolous. These are the words that come to my mind.

The only thing I really liked about this film are the costumes of the lead actress (well, that is expected, isn't it?)

Also, the locations are good. They shot in Lepakshi temple in Andhra Pradesh and that famous temple in Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

All in all, a forgettable experience.

Natyam is a visually spectacular
nagaphanendrapasumarthy29 October 2021
Sandya Raju garu , your involvement in the movie both onscreen and off-screen was so inspiring. No other actor or actress take that dare step to keep their 1000% in movie that to in a debut movie as a choreographer, actress, producer, production designer, costume designer. After seeing all your interviews I became a huge fan of you. I didn't expect your acting will be this fab....sandya garu your acting was too good and natural. I wish you all the success for your future projects. Basically I don't watch movies much , when I heard about this movie...I was so excited. Once again I'm telling sandya garu i became a huge fan of you.

Difficult to relate to because of a one sided perspective.
damusnostra17 January 2022
It appears to be a movie about Brahmins. Casting seems stereotypical. It would have been better if there was a balanced perspective instead of portraying native communities as crass vs the scholarly sophistication of the Brahmins. Trying to revive and preserve a heritage that is probably less than 3000 years old, which practically destroyed and displaced the culture and traditions of a much more ancient aboriginal lineage that survived over 60KY against systematic persecution and stiff odds, seems a bit selfish and self absorbed and just this fact alone makes this movie quite hard to relate to or engage with.

Great attempt
bobbymm29 October 2021
Worth watchable.

I'm not saying it's a classical movie but it is nice one and good attempt by Natyam team and particularly Sandhya mam.

Sandhya mam was lived in that character.

Music and songs was so soothing and all songs are well choreographed by team.

Direction by Revanth was impressive.

Overall it's a good movie.

Classical HIT
basava_sourabh29 October 2021
Most of the movies are mostly commercial and for entertainment, here comes Natyam with a great story line based up on classical dancing.

Loved all the songs esp Chudava Chudava song.

This movie explores all the aspects of classical dancing be it Guru- Shisha paramapara, what dance means to a dancer, etc etc.

Each actor did a phenomenal job. Rohit is the cutest Krishana ever seen in Chusva song, Kamal sir did a very good job as a male classical dancer, Sandhya mam and her expressions are so so beautiful to watch.

Choreography by Aayana is top notch, it's spectacular to watch them on big screen

Overall a good movie

Watched it twice.

Words from the heart of a dancer.
pillalamarrisaipriya29 October 2021
Natyam is classic cult movie which unfolds indian tradition and respect towards dance. It inspires national integration on culture and tradition. A very inspiring journey of guru and sishya. Top-notch visuals, extraordinary choreography and acting, great DOP and what not. Sandhya akka is truly an inspiration to all the dancers out there. What a beautiful journey from a dancer to actor.

Hats off to the director Revanth garu for the extraordinary picturisation. Heartiest congratulations to entire team of natyam for a classic hit. Every visual is a goosebumps moment and being a kuchipudi dancer I enjoyed every visual to the core. Natyam gonna be pride of Telugu people and no doubt that Natyam the movie gonna create history. Sending loads of love and support to all the dancers out there.

Feel good movie with great visuals
yaminipolisetti29 October 2021
I was one of those persons who waited for Natyam movie release. And now, I am so so elated and got great contentment after watching the movie natyam... I was completely involved while watching this movie and enjoyed each and every bit in this movie. The visuals, songs and dance are exceptionally good. Natyam means to tell a story through dance beautifully. And Sandhya Mam showed it in such a way that I couldn't take my eyes off her . Rohit and Kamal sir performed very well. 💐👏👏👏 THANK YOU VERY MUCH to the director Revanth and whole crew for this great attempt and showing a beautiful story with dance. Younger generations need these kind of movies. Kudos to all the cast and crew. More love and support to you❤❤❤

watch it to beleive it
ginnavivekr29 October 2021
From the outset, we know that the theme revolves around dance. But unlike a lot of other dance themed movies , Natyam does a commendable job of inducing culture, history, themes and technicalities that otherwise is abent in a lot of movies today. The director and team have definitely taken pain staking efforts to dwell into the locations and CG's . NATYAM is the quintessential family drama which has the potential to be the next "Shankarabharanam".

commendable attempt
srinivasgandlag29 October 2021
In an age of big budget mindless commercial entertainers, here comes a big budget sensible art film. A visual treat layered with Native and historical themes, NATYAM is the story of dance which bonds two worlds, two ages, two different dancing styles and brings together a narrative that is surprisingly clean, elegant and engaging. Special mentions to the director(Revanth Korukonda) and the leading lady(Sandhya Raju) of the film. I have also loved Kamal Kamaraju's acting too, especially his different shades portrayed at different stages. Please go to theatres and support such content oriented movies. Finally Worth a watch!!!
