'Easily the most accomplished Bharata Natyam dancer today ... An artiste who has worked and polished her art to such perfection that it has become an extension of her body… it just flows out of her like intimate conversation.' 

                                                                  S Kalidas, India Today, 

'Each performance of Malavika Sarukkai is an event… She is without any doubt the most expressive of contemporary Indian dancers… One admires the brilliance and the elegance of the artist… the perfection of her technique… the liveliness and variety of her dance, which lies somewhere between ecstasy and sensuality, always of an exquisite femininty.'
