Netflix is bringing a fresh Bollywood dance comedy called "Best of the Best," starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (from Never Have I Ever) and comedian Hasan Minhaj.
Directed by Lena Khan, the film follows childhood friends Maya and Anjali as they join their college's Bollywood dance team, exploring friendship, growth, and cultural pride.
Filming kicks off in New Jersey from July 28, 2025, to September 11, 2025.
'Best of the Best' could be a fun watch
This movie stands out for its focus on South Asian identity and authentic representation—Ramakrishnan plays a Tamil character of Sri Lankan origin.
