Street Dancer

Street Dancer

In 2017, Sahej Singh Narula becomes the leader of Street Dancer, a London-based Indian-origin hip-hop group, after his brother Inder, the former leader, injures his knee in the finals of a dance competition called Ground Zero. Two years, in 2019, after Inder’s injury, Sahej purchases a dance studio, the source of funding for which is hidden. Street Dancer is challenged by the Rule Breakers, a rival Pakistani hip-hop group led by Inayat Naazi. Inayat hides her hip-hop lifestyle from her conservative Muslim family. Street Dancer loses to the Rule Breakers because of their overused style. The rival teams watch an India vs Pakistan cricket match at a restaurant owned by Ram Prasad (Prabhu Deva). Rising tensions result in a food fight; in order to not be arrested by the cops, Sahej and Inayat feign a relationship in the presence of local cop Michael Donald, who is himself of partial Indian and Pakistani origin. Sahej asks his girlfriend Mia to coach Street Dancer, as she is a dancer for the Royals, a British dance team that is reigning champion of the Ground Zero competition, led by Marc. Street Dancer and the Rule Breakers watch the India vs Pakistan final match at Ram’s restaurant. Tensions escalate into a dance battle, which the improved Street Dancer wins. After the dance battle, Inayat discovers that Ram feeds leftover food from his restaurant to homeless illegal immigrants.
