Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in 08/28/2024
In spite of the clunky Bollywood-ised music and songs, their skills are given form by the choreographers. Channelled by Taraporevala’s cautious direction, the hard work, talent and the boyish attitude of the lead actors and dancers give some intensity... Go to Full Review

Sooni Taraporevala wins hearts out here, for she narrates the story of two underdogs with a neatly woven story sans any commercial tropes. Go to Full Review

Sooni Taraporewala makes us root for her young characters even if we aren't entirely sure about the depth of their feelings. Go to Full Review
Rohan Naahar Hindustan Times 08/15/2020
Yeh Ballet is far too simplistic to be a satisfying examination of modern India and its problems; it glides by on the strength of its warm tone. Go to Full Review

05/30/2022 First, this is a true story and very heartfelt if a little exaggerated. Manish Chauhan is amazing, both as actor and dancer, but he's the only real deal from the true story. Amiruddin Shah is portrayed by a good actor who is also a good dancer but not the amazing extraordinary dancer that Shah is in real life, so it makes the movie a little awkward. The movie has a lot of heart, especially concerning the families' eventual acceptance of their sons' passion and talent. It also touches on the difficulties between majority Hindus and minority Muslims in modern India, as well as tensions between the haves and the have nots. The opening scene is gorgeous with a panoramic view of Mumbai and classical music morphing into hip hop.

See more 04/19/2021 A lovely and inspiring film based on a real story. The dance is phenomenal. Sadly Julian Sands is a bit over the top playing the ballet master. But the two young men are fantastic. See more 04/02/2021 I can't remember watching a movie that starts out like a stupid see-how-Indians-can globally-copy-their-masters-abroad and then turns into a really strong film making all sorts of points, character buildup, and fine dancing. At first Julian Sands as an Israeli seemed farfetched, but then he confirms the 2-state solution, makes you believe he is who he plays. See more fer b 02/08/2021 typical tale about poor kids trying to get ahead in life following their passion, in this case, dancing. the fact is actually classic ballet in India plus the personable characters and general good tempo and execution make the movie quite enjoyable. also, it is refreshing they are trying to make it in the arts and not by becoming yet another online marketing or tech guru. See more 02/06/2021 Una historia verdadera muy dramática y emotiva. ¡TOTALMENTE RECOMENDADA! See more Read all reviews
