Waack Girls

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!

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.

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.

From the word go, Waack Girls keeps you totally involved. The story line is unique and somewhat daring, a good mix characters, all well fleshed out, the casting great with a slew of new names and great performances. Not to mention the super production values, locations in Calcutta (all very realistic) and great soundtrack. It was a pleasure to watch, as waacking was new to me!

Waack Girls captures well the difficulties youngsters face in today's world - both on the personal/ family front and in making a breakthrough in an offbeat career.

Kudos to the entire team. I really can't wait for season 2!

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!
