Catch up with Manish’s Arangetram at Ravindra Bharati at 9.30 am, July 20.



A Life in Dance Comes Full Circle

For Manish Kumar , dance isn’t just an art — it is the language of his soul. Ever since he could walk, movement has been his medium of expression, his joy, and his compass. Trained from a young age in cinematic, freestyle, and western dance forms, Manish pursued every style he encountered with unwavering passion and curiosity.
His journey took a pivotal turn when he discovered Aayana, the artistic space that became his true dance home. As a dedicated student, Manish immersed himself in the world of performance, absorbing its depth with sincerity and grace. His dance has taken him across the globe, touching audiences with his emotive storytelling — most memorably as ‘Sampangi’ in the Telugu film Om Bhim Bush.
Now, with the blessings of his parents, gurus, and countless supporters, Manish takes the stage at Ravindra Bharathi for his Bharatanatyam Arangetram — a new beginning that celebrates his unbreakable bond with dance and his ongoing pursuit of artistic excellence.

His debut is just one but important step to what we foresee as a great future

Best Wishes from the promising dancer

: Kuberaa is not a story about crime and law, it’s a philosophical conversation about money and humanity

Kubera isn’t a typical good-versus-evil story. There’s no clever hero outsmarting a villain, no big win or clear justice. Instead, it takes a philosophical path. A beggar rises above a rich man, not through tricks, but through how life unfolds. Sekhar Kammula isn’t giving answers; he wants to open a quiet, uneasy conversation about wealth, poverty, and the way we accept both.

https://www.fridaywall.com/single-review-a-rom-com-without-the-rom-or-the-com/

Single Review: A Rom-com Without the Rom or the Com. ‘Single’ ends up as a forgettable film. The film is painfully predictable, with a bunch of awkward one-liners and no real emotional core

Single Review - The story fails to connect on any emotional level, except perhaps for those who enjoy crude humour disguised as comedy.
