Ishu, you are asking for trouble!! LOL.. 🤗 See I am from Kerala, so please be careful when you say something just because it happened to be on Wiki... Mohiniyattam has its difficulty factors, the same way every other classical dance forms have, including BN, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Kathak, etc. Just by being a viewer, if I say Manipuri is the easiest of all eight classical dance forms, the Manipuri dancers will choke me!! LOL... Mohiniyattam has the posture and hand move elements from BN, and expression elements from Kathakali, but both BN and Kathakali have very hard mudras, and expression is the key in all classical dances...

For a trained classical dance in South Indian dance forms, any dance style would be kinda easy to perform after some good training, except for Kathakali... That's the hardest of all... Kuchipudi requires a lot of body balance, and a slip will ruin the whole act... The positions are critical for BN and if the angles are not right, it wont look good... Mohiniyattam requires a lot of grace and the hand moves are critical, same like in BN.. That's why we hold a lot of respect for our classical dancers in the South... You should watch some videos of all these on YT and then you can see what I am talking about... 😃

FYI, Kuchipudi is the most difficult of all. Just having two dance forms in one does not make it difficult. Bollywood is a combination of classical-folk-western. Does that make Bollywood difficult?

Out of all Dharmesh has gotten the easiest dance...We will see same aggressive tod fod type dance probably from him.... like the one with breakingTubelite...
I will not say Binny has easy dance to perform as she is not classically trained...So overall Shakti with kahak, Punit with BN, Amar with Kavadi, and Binny Mohiniattam sounds like a task for all 4...

Prad, Kathakali is the hardest of all, and requires several years of practice even to perform on stage... They start at a very young age too.. I already replied to Ishu, and saw your post only now... 😃

Hmmm.. I just wish to see one of 'em do a classical routine on a pure south-Indian Classical song by someone like M.S.Subbalakshmi, Gantasala , Balasubhramniam or BalaMuralikrishna OR Ramanuja Iyengar... 😃 Would be super-refreshing espcially for people like us from South... *sigh*

Okay, may be😊....I am just a viewer when it comes to both Kuchipudi and Kathakali. Out of seven, I got training(not equally, some may be 1-2 yrs while some for longer) in Katthak, Bharatnatyam, Manipuri and Odissi. I have read in many places and also heard from many accomplished dancers that Kucchipudi is a difficult form of Indian dancing. Also I know the training-make-up(it takes hours)-constume-expression, it takes a lot for Kathakali.
