The film follows the story of two real-life ballerinos from the chawls of Mumbai: Manish Chauhan, 21, and Aamiruddin Shah, 15, the sons of a taxi driver and a welder. The two trained under Yehuda Maor and caught the eye of prestigious ballet schools. Both of them fought societal stigma attached to dancing, especially ballet which is regarded as the most graceful form of dancing.
In the film, the two young boys are Asif (Achintya Bose) and Nishu (Manish Chauhan) fighting and struggling to become the best international male ballet dancers. Nishu is a dance show winner and comes across Asif, a hip-hop rebel. The two are competitors until they meet their mentor, Saul Aaron (Julian Sands). The viewers will also get to see another great talent, Jim Sarbh, as the guy running the dance academy school.
