If there’s one thing a competitive dance movie absolutely needs to nail, it’s the soundtrack. Thankfully, Netflix’s new Bollywood-fusion comedy Best of the Best delivers a masterclass in music.
Hitting Netflix globally today, September 18th, 2026, Best of the Best is directed by Lena Khan and features a stacked cast including Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Hasan Minhaj, Priyanka Kedia, and Janina Gavankar. The hilarious coming-of-age comedy follows two childhood best friends who join UCLA’s competitive Bollywood-fusion dance team, only to find out that the road to the U.S. Championship is cutthroat, raucous, and heavily choreographed.
With a premise like that, you can expect a massive tracklist—and the movie does not disappoint. The soundtrack bridges the gap between global pop, heavy-hitting hip-hop, and timeless Bollywood classics.
Before we dive into the full list of songs, we highly recommend checking out our exclusive interview with the film’s composer, Daniel Rojas. We sat down with Daniel to discuss what it was like scoring this energetic comedy, collaborating with the cast and crew, and how he blended traditional Indian sounds with modern beats to give the movie its unique sonic identity.
