Oh well, the passage of time and recording of cultural history adds respectability to everything doesnt it? A few months ago I saw a group of very respectable rather young Maharashtrian girls performing the dance in a forum where classical dance would be the norm...and it was greeted with seriousness and delight.I coulod not brush off my feeling that it was somehow inappropriate.

Marathi is not my mother tongue, so I don't get the meaning for all the words right, but I still enjoy the songs for the catchy tune. When I first listened to Asha Bhosle's 'Haath naka lavu maajhya saadila', I used to hum that song non-stop for days. And I totally love Ashaji's narration just before this song in the album 'Nakshatranche dene'. She says something on the lines of 'Lavanis are meant to be erotic. Why should the singer be embarrassed while singing it?' I too love lavanis.

Atul kulkarni has acted soo well in that movie I heard that I am really waiting for the DVD to get released officially. I am hoping to see it in theaters here if Marathi Mandal gets it. You are so right about Sandhya! Natarang lavani’s are nice! Atul kulkarni has acted soo well in that movie I heard that I am really waiting for the DVD to get released officially.
