Musically, I think the rhythm of Raag Rang Chhayo is exceptional, as is the handling taans by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Hemlata. Vocally it's a more challenging feat than the other songs, IMO.
For overall the entertainment factor I like the Mohini Avtaar song; always had a weakness for dancing daanavs 😆
As for choreography... I'm kinda torn. Mohini avtaar song's not even in the running, because it's more about the acting than the movement so the steps aren't that complicated. Certain steps from the Prem Satkaar Karo song are really impressive; they do proper bridges and there's that one chakkar they do with their arms interlinked and every 2nd dancer is reclined - will cite the timing when I get a chance to log back in, but I always found that really cool. The choreography in general is more semi-classical, though, for that one - Lankeshwar Raajeshwar is a bit more authentic. Need Aishu to weigh in on this too. What do you think?Lolaveri 😲 That is a lot of analysis! You sound like such a seasoned mytho professional discussing all these complexities 👏 You should apply to Sagar Arts or something and put all this in your resume 😉 No really! :D I'm sure they would be thrilled to have you on board ;)For me, the absolute best song picturized in SK, or any mytho for that matter, is the Raas Leela one between Radha and Krishna. Again, like you said, for the acting rather than the choreography. And I really really liked the dance in Lankeshwar Raajeshwar. If I'm not mistaken, the form was Bharatnatyam right? But holistically, it appeared to be very classical and well executed. Please cite the timing, I'd be glad to look at that.
That chakkar I was referring to goes from 5:16 to 5:22 in this, Nishi:

And lol thanks for appreciating the analysis... this is the stuff I like to think and talk about for fun when it comes to mythos 😆 So, I'd love for these kinds of discussions to persist, hint hint ;) Lankeshwar Raajeshwar was indeed Bharatnatyam. So was some of the footwork from Raag Rang Chhayo, but for the most part, that and the others are blends of multiple classical forms.
