ABCD - Any Body Can Dance

PLOT:

It was almost two decades ago,we saw Prabhudeva dancing on the tunes of Muqabla.He's back again to act in a hindi film...err actually dance.And you can say he's back with a bang. Mild Bang to be precise. ABCD is meant to be an inspiring story of how a choreographer, heartbroken at a point goes on to teach some slum dancers and sees a dream of starting an ultimate dance academy. Works out well, and dance lovers, especially youtube dance video lovers,you are all for a treat here.Watch out for some ups and downs in this dance oriented film.

TEAM AND PERFORMANCE:

Remo D'Souza gave us the a big sleeper hit in F.A.L.T.U(2011).The plot being typical dance show has nothing new than what you might see on TV plus some ups and downs as mentioned,so the actors(dancers) are what you all saw in the reality shows.But they have all taken the trouble to show a great performance here.Remo's rapport with them is seen evidently in  the movie.What more is needed by a director to take the best out of his actors.Prabhudeva has done well,Truly the MJ of India.

MUSIC AND PROMOTIONS:

The first 3-D dance film....this was what was shown everywhere.It has worked wonders as far as collections are concerned which are discussed in detail below. Music hasn't given any chartbuster but yes, muqabla song did create some sort of rave. Music plays half the promotions for a film, and here they get 4/5 for it

COLLECTIONS:

The film has got 60% occupancy on an average on the opening day across the nation.Its far better than what Special 26 got(30%). The fan following of all the stars including the ones behind the scenes have shown immense faith by watching the film in theatres.Surprise awaits if it turns out to be a hit at the box office.

USP:

Movies always teach you if you are willing to learn something.Learn some dance now.Prabhudeva and all the dancers are truly the USP of the film along with Ganesh Acharya and Remo D'Souza.

FLAWS:

Why is a 3D film.Even 2D version is almost the same.Bollywood hasne used the 3D format well anytime,the exception being Vikram Bhatt.Also ABCD has a youth appeal,not for all the masses to enjoy.

FINAL VERDICT:

One time watch or wait for the DVD if you are so patient.

RATINGS:

3/5
