Cast: Prabhudeva, Ganesh Acharya, Kay Kay Menon, Lauren Gottlieb, Salman Yusuff Khan, Dharmesh Yelande, Punit PathakDirection: Remo D’Souza Genre: Dance FilmDuration: 2 hours 23 minutes
Story: A dance teacher takes on the challenge of mentoring a group of untrained dancers to set-up the best dance squad in the country.
Review: Let's get jiggy with it right away. And groove to beats of the alphabets of dance. Vishnu (Prabhudeva), a choreographer with an elite dance academy is unceremoniously ousted by the ambitious and artistically inept head honcho, Jehangir (Kay Kay).
The reason is simple. Their ideologies are out of sync - Vishnu believes in true talent, Jehangir trades talent for trophies and TRPs. The former says it's about 'performance', the latter claims it's about 'packaging'. Vishnu is on the verge of giving up, until he spots a gang of footloose street-dancers performing at a Ganesh Utsav. He tangos with chaddi-buddy Gopi (Ganesh) to train them to compete in a dance reality show. They set the dance floor on fire, but not without their grooves, greed, lifts, let-downs, flip-ups and fragile egos. And of course, some 'hip-hop'-hurrays too!
In the film, Prabhudeva says, "Dance apne aap mein ek nasha hai. Jab yeh nasha ho, aur koi nasha nahin ho sakta!" Bingo! And when he takes centerstage, your jaw drops and heart leaps. He acts a bit, emotes in parts, but dances in a rhapsodic high.
Ganesh Acharya lends support but is overbearing at times.
