Yeh Ballet

In this inspiring film directed by Sooni Taraporevala, two young men from Mumbai’s underprivileged backgrounds discover their passion for ballet, a dance form traditionally alien to their culture. As they navigate societal and familial challenges, they are mentored by a gruff but dedicated ballet teacher, played by Julian Sands, who recognizes their potential. The movie beautifully captures their journey of perseverance and dreams against the odds. While it hasn’t won any major awards, it has been praised for its authentic portrayal of ambition and cultural fusion. For those interested, the film is available to watch for free on Soap2day.
