Spin

Predictable, stereotypical drivel and not at all representative of Indian Americans. Cheap costumes, melodramatic acting, bad writing.

The film is fairly vanilla and sticks to tired unrealistic tropes and broad strokes but yes it is good to see a brown girl as a Disney lead for sure and I hope this paves the way for better and more nuanced stories.

This was really good fun, great music and lovely story. We enjoyed it thoroughly with the family. The main character is a wonderful actress and sure has a bright future ahead. And yes, Finally a real movie about an Indian American character and family without then/her portrayed with stereotypes. For reference, Indian families in Metropolitan India are way more free and modern than outside of India so for a change it felt real and natural in todays time and context.

This is a really well made Disney film. The pacing is really nice and editing is also tight. I did not feel like skipping any scene.

I'd give this film a 7 but just for the leads brilliantly natural performance I give it an extra star. Avantika is such a fine actor and has played her role with so much ease. Her acting comes across as completely natural and you will surely be in awe of her performance.

The supporting cast have also done a fine job and each one of them has been rightly cast. The climax which I was praying to be high octane did not disappoint one bit. It's extremely lively and concludes the movie wonderfully. It'll completely satisfy you.

Overall a very very enjoyable and entertaining movie. A simple story executed brilliantly. I give it an 8/10.

Disney chose an indian protagonist but unlike other english movies, you will find it really amazing as the indian culture was not stereotyped. Rhea is such a graceful girl who loves coding, helps her father in his restaurant and finally ends up being a DJ. The journey from being a hardworking daughter to a hardworking + funloving teen is beautifully written. I had a smile all through the movie. The music was great too, and being an indian loved those Hindi words which were put beautifully here and there. Well i can say Disney kinda portrayed things really well. <3.
