Today we bring you a special bite-sized episode, where Alicia speaks to Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Hasan Minhaj and Priyanka Kedia about their new movie, 'Best of the Best', which has just released on Netflix.
The film is a coming of age college story following childhood best friends Maya and Anjali as they join UCLA’s competitive Bollywood dance team. So of course, there’s some Hrithik Roshan-inspired moves in there, but the movie also tries to explore the South Asian dance scene with some more cultural nuance – think: Bhangra, Kuthu, and Bharatanatyam, as well as songs from the likes of Dhee, Humankind, Coke Studios and even a track by A.R. Rahman created especially for this movie.
When Alicia caught up with the cast, the actors spoke about the hours of intense dance training behind the scenes, how the film’s themes are inspired by real-life experiences, andthe possibility of the ultimate king of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, watching the movie.
Enjoy this episode and don’t forget to tune into 'Best of the Best' streaming now on Netflix.
