Waack Girls

I deeply appreciate this series for its genuine respect for dance as an art form. If you're a fan of compelling drama or captivating dance, and especially if you enjoyed Taraporevala's last film, Yeh Ballet, you'll definitely love this series too.

Mekhola Bose-the lead actress and an accomplished professional Waack dancer-absolutely shines in her role as Ishani, the heroine. Having performed internationally for over a decade, Mekhola previously appeared in "Yeh Ballet" in a supporting role. But in "Waack Girls", she truly takes center stage. Casting a trained dancer like Mekhola, rather than an actor who can dance, gives the character an added layer of authenticity.

Her stage presence is magnetic-she commands the dance floor with both power and grace. Yet, it's her moments of vulnerability and her radiant smile that truly steal the show.
