An ambitious Mumbai street dancer, determined to break socio-economic barriers, forms an unlikely bond with an Israeli ballet master. Young, gifted Manish struggles with balancing his dance dreams against the hopes of his modest parents who sacrificed for his education and rely on him. His journey takes a pivotal turn upon meeting Yehuda, a 70-year-old classical dance mentor, at an inner-city school. The encounter propels him towards a professional dance career, leading to Israel's Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company. Featuring a vibrant pop, R&B, and hip-hop soundtrack, this true underdog tale spans Mumbai's alleys to New York's stages, celebrating cross-cultural ties and Indian culture.
