Unknown C @2fast4u 6 days ago 9/10 dancing See more sarah H @Humphriessarah2 6 days ago Mixed bag, it was cringe at times but overall it was enjoyable because of the dance routines and some okay joking. The lead actress is good too. See more Michael D @MichaelX Oct 20, 2026 We came to this one for Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, a star ever since "Never Have I Ever", the best series about high school of this decade, and she doesn’t disappoint in her first leading role since that show wrapped. Co-written by Hasan Minhaj, this Netflix dance-competition comedy follows two childhood best friends who join UCLA’s collegiate Bollywood-fusion team and discover the road to the national championship is considerably more cutthroat than anticipated. Yes, every beat is familiar with shades of "Bring It On", "Pitch Perfect", and "Step Up", but done with such infectious Indian-American specificity and genuine warmth that it doesn’t matter one bit. Priyanka Kedia as Anjali is a standout, the friendship between the two leads feels authentically complicated, the choreography is excellent, and there’s even a token white guy on the team. Ignore the Sri Lankan nationalist review bomb campaign IMDb score. This was the perfect fun flick for a Friday night after a frustrating week.

The colour tone or the filter makes it more depressing. Seems like a cheap spin off of Step up. I will not recommend anyone to watch it. See more Sam . @moonmilk3 Oct 16, 2026 fun and entertaining! See more Vijayarengan V @Vijay25 Oct 11, 2026 As a lifelong fan of dance cinema, having grown up on the electrifying energy of Saturday Night Fever, Staying Alive, Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Fame, Flashdance, Breakin', and my all-time favorite musical, Grease, right through to the modern peak of the Step Up franchise, my expectations for any new dance film run high. Unfortunately, Best of the Best ultimately fell short of the hype. To give credit where it is due, the film does have its bright spots. The storyline is quite decent, and both Maitreyi (as Maya) and Priyanka (as Anjali) deliver commendable performances, doing total justice to their respective roles. However, for a movie centered around dance, the choreography and sequences simply missed the mark. Lacking that signature "wow factor" that defines the genre's greatest entries, the numbers failed to leave a lasting impact. The Verdict: Solid acting and a serviceable plot, but it lacks the cinematic choreography of the greats. Rating: 6/10 See more Read all reviews
