Yeh Ballet

Netflix delivers exactly what is expected of them. I hope it doesn't become another Bollywood platform because people from bollywood eg: Karan Johar, will make Netflix rot. We don't want it to be a dumpyard for rejected products of nepotism like ananya pandey and unapproved sub-standard projects like drive. We will pay only for good stuff. Play your cards right Netflix and you'll win us all one movie/show at a time.

The story is about two boys from the Mumbai slums with a passion to dance. Both live in terribly poor conditions and have to fight their families, society and poverty to learn ballet from a renowned teacher from Israel.

The story is beautiful. The movie has been well directed and deserves to be more famous.

The movie is packed with so much content in so little time and in such a nice little story. Some movies are such that you never wish came to an end and this was one such a movie. Although in the beginning it treaded dangerously close to the Mumbai slums and you could almost write it off as another offshoot of Slumdog Millionaire or another Gully Boy parallel but I found 'Yeh Ballet' better than both. Yes, as I loved both SD and GB. Every actor does justice to their characters - none of the dialogues seem misplaced - the story movement is linear and reasonable with minimal loopholes. It shows no undue romanticism when the protagonists fight their poverty and seek a better life. It shows no extra celebration when they try to win the world with their talent. Scenes are meticulously edited and scripted to perfection. In one of them, when the aerial view of nighttime Mumbai is shown from a plane, the screen is tilted just to the degree in which the plane catches its elevation. Two innocent boys look from the airplane as they fly higher to gain the elevation in their life and remember where they came from. Such a surreal moment! Such scenes are spread all throughout the movie. A Mustwatch!! I am in awe of the movie and I am surely going to watch it over and over again.

Amazing movie by Netflix,inspired by true story, Shot at real locations of Mumbai,story of a two boys from slums of Mumbai and thr passion for dance,great performances by relatively new actors, excellent direction!! Story of struggle,passion n triumph!!! Must watch👍👍

Ballet in india??? This may seem like an attempt to set new horizons by breaking a stereotype gender based drama .. but as a matter of fact it is a true fairytale that is fictionalized at few places, does have some run of the mill segments but it is thirst-quenching .. directed by Salaam Bombay and The Namesake screen writer Sooni Taraporevela returning to film making after a long hiatus and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapoor.. a must see...
