Winner - Portraits Audience Award, Vancouver International Film Festival, 2023

Manish is an athletic street dancer from Mumbai, whose working-class parents depend on their only son's support. When he accidentally walks into an inner-city dance school and encounters a curmudgeonly 70-year-old Israeli ballet master, a hunger develops within him. Ambitious and passionate, Manish is determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him.

Call Me Dancer will take you on a magical journey from the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York. A story of perseverance, rebellion, passion, family, culture and an unlikely friendship, featuring music from legendary singer/songwriter Jay Sean and hip-hop artist/rapper Anik Khan, with a sublime score by Nainita Desai and Nina Humphreys.

In English and Hindi with English subtitles.
