Let’s Dance: Dancing's great but film isn't
|
|
 The film tells the story of a dancer, Suhani (Gayatri Patel) who wants
to make it big in the showbiz industry without doing any compromises
such as the usual traps of casting couch or sleazy dance numbers in
skimpy outfits. While her journalist roommate isn’t too optimistic
about her aspirations, Gayatri is confident.
Gayatri also teaches poor
kids how to dance. Once, late night she discovers slum kids dancing on
the road very enthusiastically. Impressed she invites them to her
dancing school. Things also start looking up for her when her new
acquaintance Neil (Ajay) who owns a restaurant starts believing in her
dreams. Gayatri meanwhile also gets a chance to work along with hot
shot music video makers RJ (Aquib). But trouble then comes in the form
of her landlord who wants to sell of his place where she runs her dance
school for poor kids. Now since she has turned down RJ’s casting couch
offer, she is deprived of her job and money that she deserves. Her only
hope remains a dance show through which she aspires to earn enough
money to buy the same place and save her school.
Now where have you heard that or seen it before if you may wonder then
its not long back. Almost a similar story line of a passionate dancing
girl wanting to say her dancing school and then organizing that one big
show was seen in Madhuri Dixit’s comeback venture Aaja Nachle. But
leaving that aside the whole film comes across as an amateurish
attempt. The romance between Gayatri and Ajay appears half baked. The
dialogues are good at places though and the choreography simply mind
blowing.
Gayatri Patel is a brilliant dancer and a decent actress too but Ajay
and Aquib simply can’t act. The most impressive actor however is Nikunj
Pandey.
Go for it if you are a dancing fan and don’t mind sitting through a boring plot for the sake of some great dance sequence.
