Watched on Google Play. The only official release I found was region 2 and about 50% more than online copy. Did not find it free at all.
42 songs in the Soundtracks, mostly danced-to.
Lots of dancing. I think more screentime was spent in India than America, but some of the dancing in India was hip-hop, most was B'wood (wedding rehearsals). The lighting was very subdued, often with an amber filter, or bluish for darker scenes.
The story is fairly typical except for the American family traveling to India for the wedding of a client's son. And they are struggling with grief over the death of their own son a year or two earlier. Tension is provided by the family wanting their dancer-daughter to study law. Romance ensues between her and the wedding choreographer/dancer. More tension from looming dance competition back in USA for the girl and her troop; she should be choreographing/rehearsing back home. Storybook ending.
Pleasant, but not so colorful as I was hoping (B'wood scenes).
Rated 5.4 (522)
