is about two Mumbai boys, Nishu (Manish Chauhan) and Asif (Achintya Bose), from underprivileged backgrounds. When Saul (Julian Sands), an old ballet teacher, discovers them at a small dance academy, he helps them transcend boundaries as male ballet dancers.
The movie is shot at real locations, and the story is inspired by Manish’s real journey as a dancer. The novelty of ballet, the dry humour, and the fantastic performances by Manish and Achintya, both in terms of acting and dance, make this motivational movie on Netflix a refreshing take on the ‘struggle against all odds’ trope.
