Plot
Sahej
(Varun
Dhawan)
and
his
troupe
of
dancers
called
'Street
Dancers'
are
always
at
loggerheads
with
a
Pakistani
girl
Inaayat
(Shraddha
Kapoor)
and
her
dance
team
known
as
'Rule
Breakers'.
While
the
former
believes
that
'life ka
rule
No.
1
hain
never
be
no.
2,
the
latter
emphasizes
on
'kuch
alag
karne
ka'.
Be
it
during
cricket
match
or
dance
floor,
their
India-Pakistan rivalry
always
seeps
into
their
interactions
with
each
other.
One
day,
when
Inaayat
stumbles
upon
hungry,
homeless feeding
off
the
crumbs
left
behind
by
her
and
Sahej's
troupe,
her
conscience
is
pricked.
On learning
that
these
people
are
illegal
immigrants
trapped
in
the
country
from
Anna
(Prabhu
Deva),
she
and
her
troupe
of
dancers
decide
to
participate
in
one
of
the
biggest
dance
challenges
in
London
to
help
them
with
the
prize
money.
Will
Sahej and
his
dance
troupe
also
lend
a
helping
hand
for
this
bigger
cause?
The
rest
of
the
film
holds
an
answer
to
that.
Direction
Right
from
contemporary,
afro,
jazz,
slow-mo,
krumping,
locking
to
popping,
Remo
D'souza
brings
alive these
eye-popping
dance
forms
on
the
big
screen
and
leaves
you
mesmerized.
But
it
fails
to
tug
at
your
heartstrings
when
it
comes
to
the
emotional
value.
The
incoherent
screenplay
and
wafer-thin
plot
are
the
main
villains
in
this
dance
flick.
The
dialogues
of
the
film
fall
flat
and
make
you
chuckle
for
the
wrong
reasons.
Varun
Dhawan,
Shraddha
Kapoor
and
team
dance
to
impress,
but
they
are
let
down
by
feeble
writing.
Performances
Varun
Dhawan's
Sahej
is
a
combination
of
droolworthy
six-pack
abs,
infectious
swag
and
admirable
dancing
skills
and
the
actor
ticks
all
these
boxes.
However,
things
go
a
tad
off
the
mark
when
it
comes
to
emoting.
Shraddha
Kapoor
looks
resplescent
and
impresses
in
the
dance
department
as
well.
Nora
Fatehi's jaw-dropping
twerk
moves
on
the
floor
will
make
you
say
'haye
garmi'.
Prabhu
Deva
brings
in
lots
of
whistles
and
cheers
when
he
shakes
a
leg
on
the
dance
floor.
Aparshakti
Khurrana leaves
a
mark
in
his
limited
role.
Dance-turned-actors
Punit
Pathak,
Salman
Yusuff
Khan,
Dharmesh
Yelande and
Raghav
Juyal
leave
you
in
awe
with
their
dance
sequences.
Technical
Aspects
The
killer dance
moves
on
the
3D
screen
are
a
treat
for
the
eyes.
Vijay
Kumar
Arora's
cinematography
blends
well
with
the
theme
of
the
dance
film.
Manan
Sagar's
editing
scissor
made
a
few
blunt
cuts.
Music
Most
of
the
songs
are
woven
into
the
narrative
to
take
the
story
forward
and
are
accompanied
with
breathtaking
visuals
of
dance
forms.
Out
of
all
the
tracks,
'Garmi' and
'Muqabla'
score
high.
Verdict
One
of
the
dialogues
in
the
film
goes
like,
'Champion
bhi
ikka
tab
nikalta
jab
saamne
baadshah
hota
hai.'
In
this
Varun
Dhawan-Shraddha
Kapoor
starrer,
the
ace
card is
the
mind-boggling
dance
sequences
which
keep
your
eyes
glued
to
the
screen.
We
give 3
stars
out
of
5
for
Street
Dancer
3D.
