Dancer is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language dance film written and directed by Keyaar. The film was produced by Yogesh KR under KR Infotainment Pvt. Ltd. The film which revolves around a handicapped dancer with one leg was released on 12 January 2005.
Keyaar was inspired to direct the film with Kutty, a one legged handicapped dancer after seeing him dancing at a concert at Kamarajar auditorium. [2] [3] Kutty did not appear in further films aside from By the People (2005) and Lee (2007) as he died by falling down stairs in 2007. [4]
Soundtrack was composed by Pravin Mani and lyrics were written by Pa. Vijay and Na. Muthukumar. [5]
IndiaGlitz wrote "Though Keyar has taken up a message in the movie, he seems to have made the movie interesting by adding commercial elements at right mix". [6] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Despite a logical story line, a docu-feel does crop up now and then [...] The ideal is lofty. But the insensitivity in execution (for the most part) is disconcerting". [7] Malini Mannath wrote for Chennai Online, "Though Dancer is predictable story-telling, it's a film you would not regret watching". [8]
