In our films song and dance occupy an important position. Yet, there have only been a few films which have celebrated classical dance in a manner befitting its dignity. Salangai oli stands out for its impeccable presentation of all that is beautiful in dance and dancer’s creativity

It is a gentle love story and as all romances has a tragic ending. But, the interweaving of the ambitions and struggles faced by a talented dancer with the correct elements of pathos and sentiment make this film directed by K. Vishwanath an all time favorite.
