A WEEK before the release of Let's Dance, we have seen a producer father launching his beloved son in a film titled 'Kal Kissne Dekha', which looks lesser like a film and more like a portfolio. And Let’s Dance sees another rich father launching his daughter and yet again it looks more like a portfolio of the girl than a complete film.
Let’s Dance is a story about a girl Suhani (Gayatri Patel) with dreams and who has a phenomenal capability to dance. However, she is not willing to compromise on any of her humanitarian beliefs or her own character. After repeated attempts she is selected by the person she wants to work with. However, all good things do not last for long. Steps towards success are halted as she refuses to the advances made by her boss. Now, it is up to her to choose her own path as well as to provide a platform to the children whom she teaches to reach out and live the way they want to.
The story sounds promising at the outset. But the whole focus keeps changing between Suhani’s dreams and the street children who hopelesss and yet start believing in Suhani for a bright future. Let’s Dance could have been a ‘Chak De! India’ without hockey, but the writer probably could not decide where to put importance – the producer’s daughter or the kids’ future. Also the number of dance tracks kill the pace though they are brilliantly choreographed.
Gayatri Patel does not disappoint as a dancer or a debutante actress. She could probably be classified as one of the best female dancers we have in the industry today. With Madhuri Dixit no more around in the same arena Gayatri has a clear field. Plus she is a decent actress. Ajay Chaudhary is fine in a restricted role. All the kids used in the film are real finds!
The movie is stretched with lots of silly sequences, the dialogues get long and are a sadly lot. Let’s Dance fails as the director misses out a movie while putting to mane dance moves. Watch it if you want to get some dance lessons. Or maybe you could wait for the DVD. It’s easier to learn when you pause at every step, which is possible with a DVD player!
