"Polite Society": A Kickass Bollywood-Martial Arts Tribute to Sisterhood.

Director Nida Manzoor pays tribute to Bollywood in her film "Polite Society" by including a dance sequence featuring the iconic song "Maar Dala" from the 2002 film "Devdas." The sequence serves as a distraction while the protagonist's friends execute a plan, and also warns the sister's fiancé that she knows he's responsible for his first wife's death. The tribute honors both Bollywood and Broadway tradition and fills the scene with dramatic irony. The inclusion of the song was a priority for Manzoor, who loves films that love films, and credits the might of Universal for helping her get it.
