Waack Girls

Wasn't sure what to expect, but after the first 20 min or so I was hooked. Binge watched over 2 days, couldn't stop!

Had never heard of waacking, and the film was a most interesting portrayal of the eco-system surrounding this dance form. Excellent character portrayals of the 6 girls. Not crazy about the music, but great dance moves!

Am a huge fan of Sooni's, but I think she may have outdone herself this time. Waack Girls is beautifully and sensitively done, she shows authentic and real life people and situations that we see around us.

Big congrats to the cast and crew!

I can't wait for Season 2.

A great show to be introduced to the wonderful world of whacking as a dance form and also includes the right amount of fun family and frolic just the way a good all round show should be. Does a great job at introducing whacking without alienating the uninitiated. Each and every actor in the show has given it their all and the talent is mesmerising. A big congratulations to the team and a beautiful job at direction by the awesome Sooni Taraporevala. Love the way the show progresses and the arc it takes and that end :( We absolutely can't wait for the second season to air, make it happen already Prime Video!

This is indeed a revolutionary series that delivers strong messages in a subtle, delightful manner. It has layers of truths, some that emerge through pathos and also through the tickling, zany moments ! The characters are all so real and developed sensitively. Both Ishani and Lopa are awesome. Dadu is so delightful. The dancers are all magnificent! Loved that it featured the iconic Kolkata races and the authenticity of the city. This world class series empowers as it touchingly addresses diverse societal double standards. The end was a bit ambiguous ... perhaps allowing for a follow up series?

We had a wonderful time watching Waack Girls. There was so much energy, humor and genuine human feeling -- we were completely entertained.

Right from the start, we cared deeply about EVERY character. Even the smaller roles -- like the young girl who takes care of Grandpa -- are so carefully developed that we felt a connection with them.

One reason the characters seem so real: they behave beautifully one minute -- and make big mistakes the next minute. They also have unexplained details in their lives, which kept us wondering. So when those details are revealed in later episodes, it's very powerful.

One other surprise: seeing the many similarities -- and the extreme differences -- between modern life in India and our own world. The way the Waack Girls go in and out of English and Indian languages is fun to hear. Plus, the images of urban India are so vivid and beautiful, it's like taking a voyage away from our own world.

That's one of the reasons why we're eager to watch season 2. We want to go back to life with the Waack Girls!

Waack Girls tells such a great story - and tells it so well. Subtle when it needs to be, big and bold when it needs to be. Enjoyed watching each characters arc unfold - they're all SO well written and acted. It's also one of those shows that feels so completely immersive - it's like you're sitting in the room with the girls, dancing with them, problem solving with them and I think that's due to the brilliant and atmospheric cinematographic. Need season 2 stat! We definitely need more shows like this - ones that tell different stories, feature different faces, and somehow still manage to capture those fundamental, universal emotions in a way that makes the most unrelatable, relatable.
