Kids’ Duet - Maadu meikkum kanne - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam - Dance

8 year old Arshita Murugadoss & 6 year old Maya Swaminathan enacts Yashoda & Krishna in the popular song "Maadu Meikkum Kanne..."

This song is an engaging dialogue between child Krishna and Yashoda.

As Krishna excitedly asks his mother if he could go and tend to the cattle, Yashoda denies him permission. She offers him butter, milk and sugar coated sweets and asks him not to go out in the scorching heat.

However, Krishna rejects all her offers and instead tells her that he will happily tend to the cows and come back home in a jiffy.

Then, mother Yashoda tries to convince him saying that there are wild animals in the mountains which might scare him when he goes there with his cows. Krishna smartly replies that the animals will approach him fondly and assures his mother that he will hunt them down if they come in large numbers to attack him.

As Yashoda gives him more and more reasons to not go out, Krishna cooks up intelligent replies to all that. Finally, child Krishna manages to convince his mother that he will safely go with his herd of cows and come back home quickly.

Maadu Meikkum Kanne... beautifully sung by Sri Srikanth Gopalakrishnan & Choreographed by Dr. Sheela Unnikrishnan.

Cannot say how much I love this. The 2 dancers are excellent. What an array of facial expressions. You can see the little boy, impatient to get out and play, knowing that he fears nothing from the wild as be is a god. You can see his loving mother, fearful for her child outside, thinking she can entice him to stay in, by making him delicious things to eat. The spoilt petulant but loveable child. The loving, caring but worried mother. The glee at the end when Krishna is allowed out, his Mum reassureed, but with a simple hand gesture telling him he'd better not get into trouble.

இவ்வளவு சிறிய வயதில் இருவரும் காட்சிக்கு ஏற்ப மிக அற்புதமான பாவனைகளுடன் மிக நேர்த்தியான நடனம் ஆடினீர்கள். மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பார்த்து ரசித்தோம். ஏழு மாதங்கள் ஆன எங்கள் பேத்தி இந்த நடனத்தை மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் மிகவும் விரும்பி பார்க்கிறார். உங்களுக்கு அமோகமான எதிர்காலம் நிச்சயம் உண்டு. உங்கள் இருவருக்கும், உங்கள் குருவுக்கும், உங்கள் பெற்றோருக்கும் வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
Beautiful choreography.

குழந்தை அர்ஷிதா, ஒரு மூத்த நடனமங்கையின் அளவிற்கு முகபாவனைகளை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறாள்!
நல்ல அநுபவமும் பயிற்சியும் தெரிகிறது. இவ்வளவு இயல்பாக ஒரு தாயின் உணர்வுகளைப் பாடலின் பொருளுணர்ந்து முகத்தில் காட்டுகிறாள்!
மாயா, அர்ஷிதாவிற்கு ஈடாக அபிநயம் காட்டுவது ரசிக்கும்படியாக உள்ளது.

சிறு குழந்தைகளை இவ்வளவு ஆழமாகத் தயார் செய்துள்ள ஆசிரியையின் கடும் பயிற்சி குழந்தைகளின் ஈடுபாடு மிக்க ஆடலாய் நன்கு வெளிப்படுகிறது!!
பாராட்டுக்கள்! மிக்க நன்றி!!

மிகவும் அருமையாக உள்ளது இந்த வயதில் குழந்தைகளுக்கு எப்படி இந்த அளவுக்கு தாயின் பயமும் குழந்தை தாயாரை சமாளிக்க கூறுவதும் மிகவும் அருமையாக உள்ளது இவர்களின் முகபாவம் மற்றும் அங்க அசைவுகள் நமது மனதில் கிருஷ்ணர் மற்றும் யசோதையை நினைவு கூறுகிறது
