After the death of his mother, Isvara (“Ish”) finds that dancing offers him a way to self-express and connect with others, including his stern father. This Bolly-Latino fusion film was shot entirely in Austin, Texas with the participation of local non-actors and dancers in the community. Actor-dancer Prayas Vats makes his acting debut working alongside California-based actor Puneet.
