Any Body Can Dance 2

Clearly if some people blame Mad Max for having so less dialogues, they must see ABCD 2. I can easily count the dialogues in the movie, on my fingers, of one hand.

Lets start with the plus point, the choreography and the music for those competitions was really new, refreshing and adequate for a movie based on dance. But remember, it is still a MOVIE based on dance, so there must be some story in it, here it wasn't.

About the dance numbers also, they are very long, you don't have to show it all, if you have choreographed it, where are the editors? This movie also displayed the cliché of the previous one when they show you the glimpse of performance of other groups and when THE group come on the stage, the group on which the movie is based, they present a very long performance with everything in it. In the end they will put sentiments for the movie goers by presenting something Indian in every performance.

So, yeay! to all the dance but noooo! to everything else. Wanna see dance with a few dialogues stuffed in between, go see it.

Disney steps in to do the sequel to 2013's 'ABCD', not that you'd notice as the two films are virtually indistinguishable.

'ABCD 2' is just as slow and limp as the original, though once again does feature a crap tonne of dance so if that's all you want then you might like this. I didn't, simply put. They even made this one slightly longer, which was a very bad call.

This film does have a bit more of an actual plotline to follow, but it isn't anything of substance and quickly takes on all the clichés you'd expect it to. Like the other, it is very poorly written. Be original, if nothing else. As for the cast, Prabhu Deva reprises the role of Vishnu - I found his acting to be a tad better this time. As before, though, no-one else onscreen sticks out.

Very bloated, for the second time running. Forces too much and goes on for way too long. Poor.

I watched the movie first day, first show and according to me it was not worth it. It was all over ABCD(2013) again except it had a better cast to attract more viewers this time. For a matter of fact, I like dance and respect every form of art so there is nothing like personal bias. I think the plot wasn't strong enough to keep the audience enthralled. There were many dance performances (some you may find meaningless) but the last one is surely gonna steal your heart but there is no storyline and one may feel that the movie is getting boring at times. Though there are no distractions such as a side love story or anything like that but we can't figure out what the movie is trying to convey. I would suggest people to go out some place other, rather than wasting their time and money on the movie. In anticipation of better dance movies in future.

Director Mr. Remo D'souza knows well to capture and portray the dance in grandeur and interesting way. This time there is no story. Main drawback of this film is very less emotional factor but yeah two scenes are very good in emotions, first when Vishnu meets his son and second the climax. Screenplay is very routine and predicative. You exactly know what is going to be happen. So, movie slows down at many places. Few things are gone overboard in the name of thrill, like the interval point thrill plot, the childish way to give the hint of love triangle, strain in leg to find scope for another previous actress's dance skill. Few scenes are good conceived keeping 3 D in mind, like one the bubble coming out from Vishnu mouth. Dialogues by Mayur Puri are good. They deliver humor and emotions. This type of movie requires dancers first then actors and first part has proved this very well. Here the protagonists are actors first so they have there own limitations. Let them lead, makers have to lower down the dance level of other brilliant dancers. I got goose bumps at the solo dance sequences of Prabhu Deva, Dharmesh and Puneet. I am surprised how can one feel sound if he is deaf!? So making Puneet deaf is also unbalanced approach in the name of doing some extra and different. Dance has shown in very good way but it also losses its first part emotional dose in it. Formation of Bharat Mata and Tri-Color through dance is mind blowing. When Puneet shouts and moans, his expressions are mind blowing and gives the required push to make climax very effective. Still I missed Ganesh Aachraya dearly as Gopi. He was surprise package in first part with humor and emotions. Performance wise Prabhu Deva as Vishnu is very impressive, in dance as well in emotions. Varun Dhavan is good to project emotions but dance wise others are quite better compare to him. Dharmesh and Puneet are great dancers. Pleasure to see them dancing. I wish, there could have been more dance of them. Shradha Kapoor is balanced, dance wise and acting wise. Louren Gottlieb is very good. Music by Sachin – Jigar, is foot tapping. One song "Mai Teri Chunariya" is very emotional and comes at right places. Fine work by its lyricist Mayur Puri.

The sequel to the 2013 film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, 'ABCD 2' is A Decent Dance Flick, that has some awe-inspiring dance numbers & lighthearted moments working on its advantage. Remo D'Souza offers a visual delight, however, the story is entirely predictable & is also a bit too long.

'ABCD 2' Synopsis: After being ridiculed for copying a dance performance in India, a group of underdogs, with the help of a mentor, pursue to compete in a World Dance Champion in Las Vegas.

'ABCD 2' is the regular rags to riches story, about underdogs in search for redemption. Remo, who's mastered dance with his successful career as a choreographer, impressively directs this energetic dance fare, with some of its dance numbers leaving a striking impact. I'd like to single out 2 dance numbers, 1 being the Charlie Chaplin tribute & the other being in its climax. The choreography & the execution by the dancers, both, are marvellously done! Remo definitely deserves credit for churning out a dance flick, that isn't lazy or unimpressive. The hard work shows & how! A Special Mention for Sachin-Jigar's foot-tapping soundtrack!

But, 'ABCD 2', as a film, is predictable to the core. 20-Minutes in & you know exactly what's gonna follow next. Tushar Hiranandani's Screenplay is clichéd. However, the light moments are nicely placed in the narrative, which are definitely good to watch. Mayur Puri's Dialogue range from ordinary to average. Also, the film is a bit too long. At a 146-minutes, 'ABCD 2' overstays its welcome by at least 25-minutes. Some Trimming was most definitely needed!

Performance-Wise: Prabhu Deva shines. As the mentor, the dancing legend grooves with impeccable grace & his performance too, is credible. Varun Dhawan oozes energy in the dance numbers & has performed well. Shraddha Kapoor is okay. She doesn't really suit the part, as her dancing chops lack quality. Among others, Raghav Juyal & Dharmesh Yelande leave a mark.

On the whole, 'ABCD 2' has its share of pluses & minuses. Dance Lovers should have fun!
