The movie is packed with so much content in so little time and in such a nice little story. Some movies are such that you never wish came to an end and this was one such a movie. Although in the beginning it treaded dangerously close to the Mumbai slums and you could almost write it off as another offshoot of Slumdog Millionaire or another Gully Boy parallel but I found 'Yeh Ballet' better than both. Yes, as I loved both SD and GB. Every actor does justice to their characters - none of the dialogues seem misplaced - the story movement is linear and reasonable with minimal loopholes. It shows no undue romanticism when the protagonists fight their poverty and seek a better life. It shows no extra celebration when they try to win the world with their talent. Scenes are meticulously edited and scripted to perfection. In one of them, when the aerial view of nighttime Mumbai is shown from a plane, the screen is tilted just to the degree in which the plane catches its elevation. Two innocent boys look from the airplane as they fly higher to gain the elevation in their life and remember where they came from. Such a surreal moment! Such scenes are spread all throughout the movie. A Mustwatch!! I am in awe of the movie and I am surely going to watch it over and over again.
