You can stream Aaja Nachle (2007) on Netflix with a subscription.

Dia is a divorced mom living in New York and must go back to India after she receives news that her guru is on his death bed. When she arrives she finds he is gone and has left her the responsibility of saving and reviving the Ajanta Theater where she used to dance. The problem is that the political officers want it torn down and turned into a shopping mall. The storyline follows Dia and her challenge to stand up for what she believes in and fight the cause to the end, while trying to win back the love and support of the people of the town whom she walked out on ten years prior.

This dance drama swaps typical Bollywood melodrama for a spirited fight to save a crumbling local theater from political demolition. It finds its soul in the rhythmic friction between a dancer's legacy and the changing landscape of her hometown.
