In this exclusive Click and Tell interview, the cast and filmmakers behind Best of the Best discuss bringing South Asian culture, collegiate Bollywood dance, friendship, and representation to the screen. The new coming-of-age movie premieres September 18 exclusively on Netflix.
The conversation explores comparisons between Best of the Best and Never Have I Ever.
Writer Hasan Minhaj opens up about the real-world inspiration behind Best of the Best and reveals that competitive collegiate Bollywood dance is a very real and incredibly competitive community. With hundreds of teams and thousands of participants, the film aims to celebrate the South Asian diaspora and the cultures represented within it rather than simply explain them to audiences.
The cast also discusses their own experiences with university life, Bollywood dance, Princeton, engineering, and performing, while talking about why authentic representation matters and how projects like Best of the Best could help open the door for even more stories centered around South Asian characters and communities.
Plus, we get personal with the cast as they reveal their favorite shows to binge, comfort foods and guilty pleasures, their love of Taco Bell, Thai food, cookies, Ben & Jerry’s and gulab jamun, and their favorite Bollywood movies — including 3 Idiots, Dangal, and Lagaan.
With connections to Never Have I Ever, Sex Education, Netflix, Bollywood cinema, South Asian representation, collegiate dance competitions, and coming-of-age movies, this interview dives into what makes Best of the Best a celebration of culture, friendship, identity, and the power of telling your own story.
