If watching Gully Boy inspired you to go chase your dreams, Zoya Akhtar should now meet the boys of the hip hop group, Kings United. They are from Nala Sopara, but have spent the last few months in LA, taking part in the hit dance competition, The World of Dance, which airs on NBC, February onwards and culminates in May.
Right now, they are the talk of the town, thanks to a video of their performance from the qualifier round, which has gone viral. In the video, they are seen dancing to the tune of Rahman's Dhakka Laga Bukka. The group jumps and tumbles, and flip and flops down in complete synchronicity (which the choreographer Suresh Mukund modestly ascribes to experience), and the judges - artistes Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and dancer Derek Hough - to put it lightly, lose their sh**. When Lopez asks them where they are from, they respond saying Mumbai, and everybody shakes their head in amazement. They score a 97.7 - never been scored on the show qualifiers - to reach the next round.
