THE SAROJ KHAN STORY From rather humble beginnings in the early 1950s emerged a child artist with exceptional dancing talent...

And then there she was, in each decade of the Hindi film industry that followed, first as a background dancer behind the likes of Madhubala, then as an assistant teaching intricate steps to accomplished dancers like Vyjyanthimala, as the choreographer who made Madhuri Dixit the phenomenal dancer she is and up until today as the legendary choreographer to next generation stars like Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.

'The Saroj Khan Story' began as a search for the genius behind one of the greatest choreographers that the Hindi film industry has ever produced. What remains is a deeply personal story of determination, passion, extraordinary skill and the sheer will to survive that is both intimate and inspiring.

Director's Bio:

Nidhi Tuli is a scriptwriter and documentary filmmaker.

She was awarded the Charles Wallace India Trust scholarship to pursue Masters in feature film screenwriting from the Royal Holloway, University of London, 2003-04. While at UK she won the Raindance Film Pitch Competition at the Edinburgh Film Festival 2004.

She co-wrote dialogues for Mansoor Khan's 'Josh' and Rohan Sippy's 'Kuch Naa Kaho'.

Nidhi has directed and produced the much-acclaimed documentary film 'Ladies Special' which won the John Abraham National Award in 2005, and the Georges Ragot 'Love the Train' Award at the Cine Rail Paris in 2009.

The other films directed by Nidhi include the widely appreciated 'Art in Exile', 'Tipa', 'Of Friendship, Films and Swords' and 'The Saint of Chitrakoot'.
