“Heartbeats” Graces The Big Screen This June

Will love and dance win in the end?

Opening in cinemas on 30th June 2017. This East meets West movie tells the tale of love and romance through the art of dance. The movie follows the story of a young dancer who meets a local entertainer leading to the two sharing their deep love for dance. The plot plays out their epic journey of love and rediscovery across cultures.

Directed and written by Duane Adler, who is previously well-known for his work on blockbuster titles such as Save the Last Dance and Step Up, Adler’s work is recognised widely for his daring and romantic musical movies which aim to push the boundaries.

In the movie we see the American protagonist Kelii (Krystal Ellsworth) accidentally meet the man of her dreams, Aseem (Amitash Pradhan), while attending a family wedding in India. As the two embark on their dance voyage, Kelii discovers a lot about herself and even finds the courage to stand up for what she believes in and help heal her broken family. She is reminded of how much dance means to her and little do her parents know, attending this wedding will change everyone’s lives forever.

Jay Z’s Roc Nation is producing the soundtrack’s original songs alongside composer Gingger Shankar, an Oscar nominee for The Passion Of The Christ. The soundtrack will feature traditional and current Indian music and American hip-hop and R&B.

Immerse yourself in another world filled with dance, culture and colour. While not classified specifically as a Bollywood film, this has an appeal to fans of the genre which increasingly span the globe. This will be a journey of the heart.
