Salman Yusuff Khan as Prabhu Deva's rival and a cardboard villain has a nice screen presence and he also stuns with his own exemplary dance moves in a sequence. Newcomer Sophia (Aishu's sister-in-law in real life) as the dance teacher with a grey shade to the character has done a neat job. However a talent such as her is wasted in a role that could have been anyone's. Aishwarya Rajesh has once again gone against the grain playing mother to a twelve year old and no doubt she does it flawlessly.
Fans get two PD special bonuses in the form of a vibrant free style dance in the flashback and when he steps it up along with the children to the music less rendition of a motivational poem. He shines in the scenes in which he bonds with little Lakshmi letting her dominate the screen and also scores in the emotion packed climax. For the very first time he gets to play a sober character which he carries with grace and elegance. In his entire career Prabhu Deva has excelled in the charming and hyper active kind of roles. Who is Krishna and what is the deal that the judges make and how he inspires Lakshmi and her team to win forms the rest of the screenplay.ĭitya Bhande is a bundle of energy and fire and apart from her excellent dance moves she wins hearts with her emoting as well especially when building her relationship with Prabhu Deva. Krishna then takes her back to the academy to plead with the teacher but the judges there are shocked to see him and one of the judges makes an offer to Krishna to allow the children to compete. In the qualifying round Lakshmi is unable to perform due to stage fear and since the whole team is disqualified she is thrown out. Later Krishna also is forced to again act as Lakshmi's father in he school too where the headmistress Kovai Sarala starts to have a crush on him. The little girl gets to know that a Pride of India dance competition is underway and wanting to train in the dance academy she convinces Krishna to pose as her father who agrees after much coaxing and also pays her fees. Lakshmi befriends a restaurant owner Krishna (Prabhu Deva) who allows her to dance to her hearts content to the music played. The school going Lakshmi's heart is on dance but her mother hates the very word. Nandhini (Aishwarya Rajesh) a single mother and her twelve year old child Lakshmi (Ditya Bhande) move in to Chennai. Director Vijay is reuniting with Prabhu Deva after the super hit 'Devi' and whether this one will get the same verdict from the audiences remains to be seen. Prabhu Deva is the synonym for dance and when he headlines the cast of a dance film expectations are sure to skyrocket.
