One netizen remarked, “As a Kathak dancer myself, it genuinely hurts to watch such a mockery of divine Bharatanatyam… We know the years of discipline, riyaaz, grace, & dedication it takes to learn these classical art forms…they are far beyond costumes, expressions, & aesthetics… Classical dance deserves respect & dignity!” Another commented on X, “Watching this clip felt like Bharatanatyam being held hostage by a catastrophic misunderstanding of the form. Somewhere between the flailing arms and random camera moves, the dance quietly packed its bags and exited the building.”
