Street Dancer 3D movie review: This Remo D’Souza directorial is a bland film

Remo D’Souza has directed films like FALTU, ABCD, ABCD 2 and Race 3. ABCD and ABCD 2 were dance-based films and now, Remo has directed one more dance-based film titled Street Dancer 3D. The movie stars Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor and Prabhudheva in the lead roles (they were also a part of ABCD 2).


The movie is about two dance groups in London; Street Dancer, an Indian dance group, led by Sahej (Varun Dhawan) and a Pakistani dance group named Rule Breakers, led by Inayat (Shraddha Kapoor). Now, of course, it’s India vs Pakistan here. But soon, the movie turns towards the struggles of illegal immigrants in London and how by winning a dance competition these dance groups plan to send them back to their respective countries.

The story is written by Remo D’Souza and he had a good story in his hands. But Tushar Hiranandani’s screenplay and Remo’s narration ruin the whole film. The screenplay is very boring and also quite scattered. The editing is not good at all and there are a lot of continuity issues especially with Varun Dhawan’s hair colour. Remo’s direction is also not up to the mark and he fails to narrate the emotional story.

Coming to performances, Varun Dhawan fails to impress us. He is good when he is dancing but as soon as an emotional scene comes, the actor is really bad at it. Shraddha Kapoor is decent in the film. It is not a great female lead character. Nora Fatehi has danced amazingly in the film, but the movie doesn’t give her any scope to perform as an actor. Prabhudheva is fantastic in the movie. He has performed very well and it is a treat to watch him dance on the big screen especially in the song Muqabla.

Talking about music, songs like Garmi, Muqabla, Nakhra and Mile Sur Mera Tumhara are damn good.

Overall, Remo D’Souza had a good story in his hands, but he failed to convert it into a good film. The movie has a few good dance sequences, however, if you skip this one, you won’t miss anything great.

Ratings: 2/5

K Anis Ahmed’s 'Carnivore' serves up satire, class war and moral rot

From the blood-soaked backstreets of Dhaka to the polished kitchens of Manhattan’s elite, K Anis Ahmed’s new novel Carnivore is as imaginative as it is provocative. A satirical thriller steeped in class tension, culinary obsession and primal survival, Carnivore follows Kash, a Bangladeshi immigrant-turned-chef who launches a high-end restaurant serving exotic meats – only to become embroiled in a sinister world of appetite and ambition.

But this is no simple tale of knives and recipes. Ahmed – a seasoned journalist, publisher, and president of PEN Bangladesh – brings a sharp eye to the grotesqueries of power and privilege. In this exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, he speaks about his passion for food, the moral murkiness of his characters, and why even the most ordinary people can spiral into extraordinary darkness.

Mahima Sharma brings bold new energy to cricket’s old guard

As the world prepares for the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), one of its most exciting franchises, the Meteora England Champions, is being led by a compelling force. Mahima Sharma is not just making her mark in cricket – she is quietly redefining leadership in a male-dominated industry.

In an industry long regarded as a boys’ club, Sharma brings a refreshingly unapologetic approach. She is strategic, deeply rooted in her love for the game, and proudly feminine. “Cricket has always felt like home to me,” she says. “I come from a culture where cricket is an emotion, and stepping into this role carries a great deal of responsibility. Growing up, I saw very few women leaders in cricket. To now find myself in this position 15 years later feels like coming full circle.”
