New Delhi, November 12, 2024.
Writer-filmmaker Sooni Taraporevala has come up with a new series on dance. It is titled “Waack Girls” and is set to stream on Prime Video from November 22, 2024.
Taraporevala, best known for writing the screenplays of internationally-acclaimed films such as Mira Nair’s “Salaam Bombay!” and “Mississippi Masala” and directing “Little Zizou”, had earlier made “Yeh Ballet”, which revolved around two gifted but underprivileged Mumbai teens who pursue their dancing dream despite social disapproval.
In “Waack Girls”, she once again explores a story set in the world of dance. The nine-episode series revolves around six dancers who come together to create a dance group in Kolkata city that knows little about their chosen dance style, waacking. They name it ‘Waack Girls’ and step into the spotlight.
