Australian Streaming Guide Flags Netflix Dance Flick ‘Best of the Best’ as a Global Crowd‑Pleaser

Tom’s Guide’s Australian edition has singled out the Netflix original film “Best of the Best” as one of the most easy‑to‑recommend new titles for late October. The movie follows a competitive Bollywood‑fusion dance team at UCLA, mixing the high‑energy song‑and‑dance tradition of Indian cinema with the familiar beats of a campus coming‑of‑age story and underdog sports drama.

The plot centers on two childhood best friends who join the team and set their sights on a national championship, only to discover that friendship, romance, and family expectations are harder to balance than any choreography. Reviewers highlight elaborate set‑piece routines that splice classic Bollywood moves with hip‑hop and contemporary dance, using the multicultural Los Angeles campus setting as more than just a backdrop.

For Japanese viewers, Bollywood‑style productions still feel niche, but Netflix’s global release lowers the barrier: it can be approached simply as a feel‑good dance film rather than as a specialist import. Given that an Australian streaming guide is already touting it as a “mood‑lifting” pick for the weekend, “Best of the Best” could quietly become an international word‑of‑mouth favorite among subscribers looking for something energetic but lightweight.
