Dance Like A Man is an English cineplay starring Vijay Crishna, Lillete Dubey, Suchitra Pillai, Joy Sengupta, directed by Ritesh Menon and Lillete Dubey. The story of Jairaj and Ratna, two Bharatnatyam dancers past their prime, is contrasted with that of their daughter Lata, who is on the brink of establishing herself as a brilliant dancer. Her imminent success creates tension and jealousy, and the audience is drawn into the dark secrets of family relationships and conflicts between generations. Watch the full play, Dance Like A Man, streaming on Hotstar.

This programming is presented by our Community Partner, Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art. 


Directed by Ritesh Menon
