Natyam

Natyam tells the story of Sitara, a passionate classical dancer who has been dedicated to her craft since the tender age of 6.

When Sitara begins her training, her mentor promises to teach her the mysterious ‘Story of Kadhambari’ provided she becomes a qualified dancer. Twenty years later, in spite of her success, her mentor refuses to teach her the choreography. Still, Sitara is determined to achieve her dream of performing the ‘Story of Kadhambari’ and she embarks on an adventure to do just that. Along the way, Sitara befriends another dancer whose ambitions and training are much different than her own. Ultimately, Sitara’s journey leads her along an eye opening pathway to self-discovery.
