The Real Review

Most people really enjoyed this Bollywood-fusion dance team flick. It's a blast to watch, thanks to director Lena Khan's vibrant visuals and a story, about best friends Maya and Anjali navigating UCLA's cutthroat dance scene, that lands with solid charm and humor. While some found the premise a bit familiar, the strong performances from leads Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Priyanka Kedia, plus a few fun cameos, keep the energy high all the way to the championships.
