ABCD

Vishnu resigns from Jehangir Dance Company following a bitter confrontation with Jehangir Khan over abuse of power and favoritism. Jehangir asserts that he can fix competitions with politics and clout, while Vishnu insists on merit and integrity. The breakup marks the first real fracture in their collaboration.

Vishnu relocates to Gopi's cramped Chawl, plotting to return to Chennai within a couple of days once a train reservation is secured. He grapples with his unfulfilled dream to build an identity through dance. The new living arrangement forces him to confront an uncertain future.

Vishnu observes Ganesh Acharya's proteges using parkour to dodge the police, recognizing raw dancing potential among them. Their enthusiasm is tempered by a lack of discipline and professional focus. A disastrous local event for a politician where they set the stage on fire underscores their need for guidance.

Gopi tears Vishnu's train ticket, insisting he won’t let him return home until he fulfills his dream. The rift deepens as Vishnu contemplates staying to mentor the group. This act cements Gopi's role as both obstacle and ally in disguise.

After witnessing their potential at Ganesh Chaturthi, Vishnu decides to form a proper dance collective named Dhongri Dance Revolution (DDR). He begins training the talented kids with the aim of preparing them for Dance Dil Se. The plan marks a new chapter away from the old JDC.

Gopi negotiates with local politician Vardha Bhai to secure a shack where DDR can operate. Vishnu volunteers to teach the students for free, hoping to keep the group focused and motivated. The new space signals a more serious commitment to their art.

Danish 'D' Qureshi and Rocky join the DDR studio, but their rivalry about leadership, choreography, and control creates frequent clashes. The group’s discipline improves slowly as the two factions attempt to align their visions. The judge-less early sessions reveal both promise and friction.

Rhea, a former JDC dancer, meets Vishnu and asks for a place in the DDR group. She quickly becomes the star of the team, drawing attention from both D and Rocky. Meanwhile, Chandu and Shaina join the crew amid initial skepticism, with Chandu defending Shaina against taunts.

Chandu begins a romantic relationship with Shaina, and Bhavana confesses her secret love for D. D and Bhavana get together, while D also begins to accept Rhea's relationship with Rocky. Personal entanglements complicate the group dynamics but also deepen their emotional stakes.

DDR faces a grim challenge when Jehangir manipulates the judges to cast them as the show's jokers. D and Rocky clash onstage for Rhea, intensifying the rivalry. The audition tests the group's unity under public scrutiny.

Vishnu orchestrates a demanding step that requires mutual trust between D and Rocky, forcing them to work blindfolded. If they fail, no dancer can go home for the night. After several attempts, they finally synchronize and prove their cohesion.

Bhavana's secret love for D is acknowledged and D's relationship with Bhavana strengthens the bond within the group. Simultaneously, D accepts Rhea's relationship with Rocky. These revelations bring emotional clarity and renewed resolve to the team.

Two hours before the semi-finals, Chandu is struck down by a street accident after confronting his drug past. The team is devastated, and Vishnu struggles to keep everyone focused. Shaina steps up as a stabilizing presence despite her grief.

DDR performs a heartfelt routine honoring Chandu, with Shaina at the center and the community moved to tears. The emotional performance reconnects Jehangir with the core purpose of dance. Mayur, tempted by a JDC offer, leaks information to Jehangir, prompting JDC to imitate DDR's choreography.

DDR delivers a moving final performance that earns thunderous applause and secures victory at Dance Dil Se. Jehangir is humbled as he recognizes the true power of integrity, friendship, and hard work. The group finally realizes Vishnu's dream of building an identity through dance.
