    Inspiring and pacy

    I personally love this genre of nobody becoming something. This movie has some of the nicest performances in both ballet and acting. I loved the music and flow of the screenplay. Dialogues are natural and they have picked the "Mumbai" tone rightly. Kudos to everyone associated with the film.

    A thirst-quenching, a bracing indie culture flavor

    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...

    Ballet in India

    While it is always inspiring to watch a movie which shows underdogs coming out as champions, what was refreshing was a dance form that we dont often see in India. Although the movie was filled with cliches and there was a lot of things going on simultaneouslywith the central characters, but all was handled well and there was some humor in the way the characters reacted to the situations they found themselves in. All in all it was a refreshing watch.

    Netflix targetting the right niches

    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.
