"Dhananjayan, his wife Shanta and party explored fully the possibilities of Jayadeva's Ashtapadis in presenting the Radha Madhava theme in the form of a dance-drama. Dhananjayan as Madhava and Shanta as Radha gave an uninhibited display of their artistic and aesthetic skill in the abhinaya, the nritta and nrithya sequences...a fitting finale to the three-day festival."

- Gunagrahi, The Times of India, Bangalore, March 11, 1990, reviewing the performance at the Halebid Festival.

"Precision and grace in movements and excellence in laya as well as abhinaya marked the ballet. The Dhananjayans excelled in probing the depths of bhava."

"Shanta as Radha, Shoba as her maid and Dhananjayan as Krishna narrated the romantic theme of Lord Krishna, the ‘Paramathma' and Radha, the ‘Jeevathma' or mortal soul yearning for communion with the ‘Paramathma' in a fascinating manner."

- Indian Express, Hyderabad, Jan 16, 1983
