To watch Best of the Best UAE, mark 18 September 2026: the film arrives on Netflix in the UAE, putting a competitive Bollywood dance team and two lifelong friends at the centre of a comedy about ambition, friendship and the perils of taking choreography personally.
The premise gives Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Priyanka Kedia a useful pairing: Maya and Anjali are close enough to join the same college team, but the national championship gives that friendship something to trip over. Netflix has already placed the film in its 2026 line-up, so the release date is doing less suspenseful work than the dance floor.
Where to Watch Best of the Best UAE
Best of the Best will stream on Netflix in the UAE from 18 September 2026. Netflix UAE’s public page describes membership as a monthly subscription and says plans start at $8.99, but it does not provide a verified AED figure on the page used for this guide. Netflix has not published a title-specific bundle, free trial or streaming-quality detail for this film.
The film is listed in Netflix’s 2026 release guide, while the exact Netflix UAE title page was not available during research. That means the date is confirmed for Netflix’s MENA line-up; the title should be checked in the UAE catalogue when it goes live.

The official trailer sets up a dance competition where friendship is part of the team and, presumably, part of the problem.
What Is It About?
Best of the Best follows childhood best friends Maya and Anjali as they join their college’s competitive Bollywood dance team. The team is chasing a national championship, and the route there is described by TMDB as raucous and cutthroat rather than a pleasant afternoon activity with matching T-shirts.
It is a comedy built around female friendship, performance pressure and the collision between personal loyalty and team competition. The single confirmed genre is comedy.
Is Best of the Best a film or a series?
It is a standalone 2026 feature film. TMDB currently lists no runtime, so there is no honest stopwatch estimate to add before release.
Who Is in the Cast?
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan leads as Maya, with Priyanka Kedia as Anjali. Hasan Minhaj, Chaneil Kular and Ankur Rathee are also listed in the top-billed cast, while Lilly Singh appears further down the billing. The two leads carry the film’s central friendship; the supporting names suggest the dance team will have plenty of company when the competitive atmosphere turns sour.
