Vishnu, a choreographer for Jehangir Dance Company (JDC) quits his job after having a disagreement with his friend and manager, Jehangir Khan. Vishnu observes several proteges of Gopi. Despite their raw talent, they lack the discipline required to become serious dancers. They demonstrate this disastrously at a local event for a politician. After witnessing the youngsters show their dancing abilities, Vishnu decides to start his own dance group—Dhongri Dance Revolution (DDR) -- with them, ultimately preparing them to compete in Dance Dil Se. However, the rivalry between the two factions in the group led by D and Rocky leads to multiple issues. Only Rocky and his gang are initially willing to attend the free classes, but D and his friends soon gravitate towards the studio. They are soon joined by Chandu, a troubled but talented man suffering from drug addiction, Shaina, a bar dancer, and Rhea, a Westerner who was JDC's star dancer but left after Jehangir sexually assaulted her during a "private lesson". Rhea immediately becomes the new star of the group. Though the students are initially skeptical of Shaina because of her profession, Chandu defends her in front of the class. The pair quickly fall for one another. The two gangs continue to clash, driving Vishnu to his wit's end. However, the students seem to improve and as a reward, he gives them money to buy new speakers. They nearly lose it all when Rhea takes them to dance club where they challenge the resident champions. Vishnu arrives at the last minute and wins back the money. Vishnu is furious, but forgives them. They return to class with greater discipline and drive, only to suddenly be thrown out on the street after D's father calls the cops. The community complains that their children should not be wasting their time on dance. They perform an impromptu dance to convince their families of their talent. However, D's conservative father refuses to accept that his son desires to be a dancer. The crew head to Dance Dil Se and audition. Jehangir, to humiliate Vishnu publicly, persuades the judges to take the DDR crew on as the show's "jokers." Vishnu asks Rocky and D to do a step that requires mutual trust, but they cannot muster the trust. Vishnu then states that unless the two manage to do the step, none of the dancers would be allowed to go home. D completes the move successfully with Rocky, and the two factions begin to trust each other. Before the semi-finals, Chandu prepares to propose to Shaina, but he meets his old drug dealer on the street. He refuses to fall back into that world, but the irritated dealer tosses the ring intended for Shaina at him. As Chandu retrieves it, he is hit by a truck and killed, leaving the team devastated. Shaina becomes the centrepiece of the team's semi-final routine. The team and the community come together to cremate Chandu, and DDR resolves to continue in the competition in Chandu's memory. Mayur, a performer in DDR tempted by Jehangir's offer of a main lead role in JDC feeds information to JDC. Faced with losing, DDR crafts a new routine on the spot, based around
Lord Ganesha. Their heartfelt and spontaneous performance reminds Jehangir of his old friendship with Vishnu and why they started JDC in the first place and is humbled. The DDR crew are rewarded with a thunderous applause and victory in the competition. ==Cast==
