    Lena Khan’s Bollywood-fusion dance comedy follows two childhood best friends who join UCLA’s competitive dance team and set out for the U.S. Championship. Adam Carboni approached the film by creating “a grounded, contemporary base” that could expand into heightened theatricality without feeling like “eye-candy dropped into the movie.”
