Slumdog Millionaire fame Frieda Pinto's recent movie 'Desert Dancer' has unveiled its first trailer. The trailer videos Pinto and her friends practicing some dance moves in an Orthodox society and risking their lives.
The movie is a real life story of dancer Afshin Ghaffarian, played by Reece Ritchie. He was punished at school as a kid for dancing in class. However, Afshin didn’t gave up his passion and starts learning dance from videos of Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly and Rudolf Nureyev, and later starts his own dance company just like his friends, including Pinto's Elaheh.
The movie stubbornly makes you forgot to breathe and our heart permanently stuck in our mouth in the climax. The director has narrated the movie extremely well through its duration of two and half plus hours. The way he tackled an extremely sensitive subject of terrorism filtering from Pakistan is simply laudable. The movie has edited so crisply with no unnecessary accessories.
There aren't too many highs or dramatic turns. Dolly's past story is unconvincing and her track with Pulkit is the weak link in the plot. The climax is a sweet surprise, so hold on for it.
