The title, whether the author understands its English meaning or not, could be a highlight of Sharanya's opinion that Anita's dance was perceived as just a light clownage/pantomime which was a parody (parody is also an art genre) on the traditional Bharatanatyam. While the journalist was obviously trying to write a pleasing review, she did not know that Anita did not want her style to be portrayed as a parody or merely facial exercises on the stage meant for a light entertainment.
