"Prerana Deshpande, one of the foremost young Kathak artists of the country,
was conferred the title of the ‘NrityaShree’. In her concert that followed the ceremony,
Prerana presented her Kathak performance which touched the hearts of the audience,
stamped her authority over the art and justified her acknowledgement as one of the
most talented artists of her generation. Kathak’s purity was well maintained and
the audience very well received her ‘live’ Abhinaya. Her movements, richness of
the compositions and attractive presentation impressed one and all."

"Prerana with her royal Kathak performance left the audience spellbound. Her
performance was the most appreciated performance of the evening. This artist of
Pune without her regular accompanists performed extempore with the local musicians
and earned a deep respect of connoisseurs. Prerana’s speed, delicate expression
and Padhant astounded the audience." (translated from Hindi)

REVIEWS OF 'AJANTA COMES ALIVE'
(conceptualized by Prerana - a collaboration of Kathak with Odissi)
"Prerana combined graceful movements and swiftness to bring out the beauty of
the nuances that is the hallmark of Kathak. She also demonstrated a good sense of
Laya. Padhant or the recitation of compositions is exclusive to Kathak style that
came out superbly in Prerana’s recital. She combined these aspects beautifully while,
excelling in Abhinaya to perfection."

"Prerana's innovative zeal and fervent abhinaya came out brilliantly and .....
In subsequent 'Kajri' she brought Radha alive, pining for Lord Krishna and her frustration
is evident when the Lord does not turn up. It was wonderfully presented."
