Aayna Ka Bayna (Delinquent Dancers)
6:45pm doors/7:15 pm show
2013 / India / Marathi with English subtitles / 94 min / DCP / Director: Samit Kakkad / Cast: Akhilesh, Sulabha Arya, Sanket Farad Print Source: Samit Kakkad
Billed as the first “Step Up”-style dance film from India, a country where dance is so firmly entrenched in the culture that the vast majority of films have at least one dance sequence, Aayna Ka Bayna comes from the Marathi film tradition, one of several regional language film industries in India that flourish alongside of, while often being eclipsed by, the Mumbai-made Hindi- language film tradition known to the West as Bollywood. It brings extra urgency to the standard dance competition film conven- tions by focusing on a group of nine teenage boys who live in a correctional home for young offenders. The head administrator, Warden Sathe, fervently believes in the dictum that to spare the rod is to spoil the child, but new staff member Shivani intro- duces dance therapy and opens up a world of new possibilities for them, including the opportunity to compete in a national dance competition – that is, if they can only find a way to get there. Prepare to be as moved by the boys’ stories as you are amazed by the talented cast’s dance skills!
