''Swarnakamalam'' ((英語:''The Golden Lotus'')) is a 1988 Telugu dance film, written and directed by K. Viswanath.〔(Who starred in Swarna Kamalam? - Evi )〕 The film starred Venkatesh, Bhanupriya in the lead roles and music composed by Ilayaraja.〔(Bhanupriya Dancing in Swarna Kamalam (Telugu, 1988) | Dances on the Footpath )〕 The song sequences demanded locations that were spread across Puri, the Himalayas, the Valley of Flowers National Park, the stupa at Dhauli Odisha, and Visakhapatnam.〔(indianbackgroundscore.com )〕 The film was premiered at the Indian panorama section of the 1988 International Film Festival of India,〔http://iffi.nic.in/Dff2011/FrmIP1988Award.aspx?PdfName=IP1988〕 Asia Pacific and Michigan International film festival(s).〔(Directorate of Film Festival )〕 The film received three state Nandi Awards and two South Filmfare Awards, including Nandi Award for Best Feature Film and Filmfare Best Film Award (Telugu).〔(The Hindu : Metro Plus Hyderabad : `So many parallels in our life...' )〕 ==Plot== Meenakshi (Bhanupriya) and Savitri (Devilalita) are daughters of a Kuchipudi doyen, Seshendra Shastry. While a highly accomplished artiste in his field, Seshendra Shastry is not well-off and has not been able to afford his daughters a conventional education. Both of them have achieved a respectable degree of proficiency — Savitri in Carnatic classical music and Meenakshi in classical dance. Savitri is grateful for her knowledge and interest and looks forward to a life that will require her to hone her skills in the same art. Meenakshi, on the other hand, is bitter about the lack of opportunity that she feels in the field of classical dance in India and resolves to make a simpler and more pleasurable life for herself as soon as possible, while confiding her ambitions only to her sister. Chandrasekhar (Venkatesh) is a tenant who has just moved in next door. He is a painter and is shown to be handling movie promotions as a large chunk of his work. He develops an interest in the neighbours and tries to help them in whatever way he can, partly because of his (unconfessed) interest in Meenakshi and partly because of his interest in the art which seems to be slowly fading away from public life. The rest of the film is largely built around Meenakshi's journey from skepticism to devotion in her pursuit of dance. Chandrasekhar is shown to be an important catalyst in this transformation. Meenakshi becomes an accomplished dancer through the direction of renowned Odissi dancer Sharon Lowen, and gets an opportunity to go abroad and perform. She learns of Chandrasekhar's love for her. She doesn't go abroad and finally unites with Chandrasekhar, confessing her love for him as well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swarnakamalam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
