Rocket Gang is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language musical supernatural comedy film directed by Bosco Martis. Produced by Zee Studios, it stars Aditya Seal and Nikita Dutta.[1][2]

Plot

A group of young-adult friends arrives at Wonder-villa, a new resort, at night. Playing with a spirit board, they unwittingly summon the spirits of five children they had encountered earlier that day (not knowing that they were dead). The children, along with their dance coach, perished in a traffic accident caused by a car driven by Amarbir, one of the group members. Overwhelmed by guilt, the friends decide to allow the children to go to Dance India Dance (DID) and dance as they had wanted. The children want to perform one last dance for their mothers and agree to participate in the DID finals. However, the method they use to broadcast their performance to the world stops working. Heartbroken, the children fervently pray for one last opportunity to dance for their mothers. God answers their prayers, and with the support of their friends, they deliver a final performance. As the dance concludes, the children transform into golden butterflies and ascend to heaven, finding peace at last.
