Yaaaaay, Street Dancer 3D!!!! The movie I left work early to see opening day and regret NOTHING. It is everything I could want from a dance themed story of diaspora identity struggle. Okay, not everything, there could be a little more romance.
Crippling dance battle injuries! Dramatic bad one liner declarations! Body make-up! Shirtless dance of torment! Really, not to be missed.
You can watch it on Prime, and probably other places too. Hit “play” at 3pm Chicago time and join me here.

But it’s not like they are dancing with lights, it is all added after filming. The cheering crowd couldn’t see it.

For ABCD trufans, I believe the lead dancer here/Varun’s brother has been in all the movies and always has a featured dance. He must be a favorite of the director/choreographer

It seems really clueless to show your injured brother a studio he can’t dance in…

I never thought of that, but Varun’s character is a terrible person, so it doesn’t surprise me.

Varun seems like such a natural in the younger brother roles with his energy, somehow I cannot see him as an older brother in movies that much

Is he a younger brother in real life?

Yep, his big brother directed him in Dishoom and Main Tera Hero
