Heartbeats (2018)

Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

So enjoyed this movie. Loved the plot, dancing and characters. Tried to learn the moves. Watched it about 20 times. Would really love to see a sequel with Krystal and Amitash

This is an interesting love story, a tale of two people from opposite ends of the Earth who meet by happenstance. Kelli, is a girl from Los Angeles, who should be studying law at UCLA, instead she cashes out her tuition and her living expenses to pursue a serious career in dance and hide it from her family who live probably somewhere in the midwest. Her father's friend's son is getting married in a traditional Indian wedding in India. You def get a sense both families are pretty upper middle class. Kelli begrudgingly goes with her parents and younger sister. Once she arrives to India, she is met with the groom's family, whose daughter is her age and who she danced with back in the states and is definitely raised Indian-American. As wedding starts to begin, she meets a handsome Indian man who is there to entertain guests and choreograph dance shows. Later in the movie we find he comes from a small rural village in India. He came to India to pursue his dreams to be a part of the Bollywood dance industry. He has 100% support from his family, living paycheck by paycheck and has nothing to lose, meanwhile Kelli is someone who has a lot to lose: her family (especially their approval) and the possibility of failure. Law school in the back of her mind, is obviously the mature alternative. So what is this girl to do? This is where their romance gets interesting, this strange meeting of two unlikely people and this is why this dance movie isn't really just a dance movie. I was in middle school when "Save The Last Dance" came out and that was a fun classic. This movie has a little bit of Linklater's "Before Sunrise", "West Side Story" and "Romeo+ Juliet" ... I really liked the film.. I didn't read up much on the film but thinking back I found it special. It's different and it takes you to the beautiful country of India which I indeed will visit after seeing this film. I encourage anyone with an open mind and heart to watch this one.

Great music. The dancing is more interesting in this film than other dance films I remember cuz the main character is at an Indian wedding and she learns traditional Indian dancing which is visually stunning. I found this movie interesting. 9/10

From the start I hoped to be treated to an adventure...and boy did I get one! This was a wonderful surprise for me, I'm in the entertainment industry...Animation and have and good understanding of how to telling a story and how to make it interesting. This film has it all, the colorful country of India (and by that I mean the colors and the style of the culture!). Drama, Romance, Comedy..and Music & Dance. While you will see Bollywood, you'll also see how hard it is to be in a country that you do not know.I'm a film buff of 60+ years old, meaning I started watching films when the were black & white and only in English and filmed in the U.S or UK. But, I lived in Italy for 12 years and that opened my eyes! You'll need to open yours eyes to see outside the the world you live in. This film will let you look into a world of acceptance and understand as well as how to appreciate every moment of your life!Ciao,Jimmino
