Waack Girls release date announced

Set in the vibrant heart of Kolkata, this series follows six young women who are unapologetically themselves as they create a dance group in a city and a country that knows little about their chosen dance style, waacking. These girls come together to form a dance group called ‘Waack Girls’ and step into the spotlight. Leading the group are Ishani (played by Mekhola Bose), an expert waacker and the group’s choreographer, and Lopa (played by Rytasha Rathore), their enthusiastic and scrappy manager. The series captures their adventures both on and off the dance floor as they confront personal battles, family expectations, and societal norms.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with talented filmmaker Sooni Taraporevala, to present Waack Girls. While at first glance, this is a story about passion for dance, but the at core, Waack Girls is a universal story meant to inspire all those who dare to dream.” said Nikhil Madhok, Head of Originals, Prime Video, India.” We feel this a story that will resonate with audiences across geographies, especially the youth, when it premieres worldwide on November 22.”

“I fell in love with waacking before I even knew what it was called when I first saw Mekhola Bose dance. Inspired by her, this is a story that is unconventional and fun, and I am beyond excited to present Waack Girls to the world,” expressed Sooni Taraporevala. “But it’s not your typical dance show either. All six girls are unique, each with their own issues and problems that will resonate with audiences, who will relate to one or another. What the girls have in common is a defiance, a fearlessness, as they live life on their own terms, owning their hard-won space. I am deeply grateful to Prime Video, the incredible team behind this show, and my amazing girls, who have worked tirelessly to bring my vision to life. I can’t wait for audiences to dance along with us.”

“When Sooni first shared the idea for Waack Girls with us we absolutely loved it,” remarked Caleb Franklin, founder of Matter Entertainment. “To have the opportunity to make a show that celebrates the transformative power of dance, and the triumph of the human spirit…”
