Waack Girls

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!

A classic Sooni Taraporevala masterpiece, with the characters having beautiful backdrops which unfold over the course of the show. I love parallel story lines and characters who have their lives intertwined (reminiscent of Little Zizou, another of sooni's works).

I remember watching ye ballet on Netflix, another one of sooni's works a couple years ago, which was great fun too. But this one takes the crown!! Kudos to the people who conceptualised it and executed it so beautifully!!

Hoping there's a season 2 coming soon! I finished seaon 1 in a weekend!!!! Hoping for longer episodes this time around

11/10. Must watch.

So great and different from all the nonsensical content coming out. What an enjoyable and refreshing watch! Loved it and cannot wait for season 2!

The cinematography, direction and dancing were incredible. The dancers are not just technically skilled but also incredibly expressive, making every routine a powerful statement. The show balances fierce competition with personal storytelling, allowing viewers to connect with the artists beyond their performances. The production quality is top-notch, with vibrant cinematography that truly enhances the visual spectacle of waacking.

Sooni Taraporevala you are a genius!

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!

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.
