ABCD – Any Body Can Dance – 2
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...makes for a good viewing and this film will surely find its way to its target audience - the youth, as the film has the right mix of content and visuals in it.
-
...is, without doubt, about mesmerising dance sequences and its equally impressive dancers. Trouble is, it's reduced to a joke every time the music stops and the characters are made to talk.
-
...a fairly entertaining watch for dance enthusiasts.
-
Great looking lead pair, dancing their socks off and the visuals are pretty neat too. ABCD 2 is a dance film that makes its viewer feel like dancing.
-
...you whoop and whistle when the dances are on. But stifle a yawn between the gravity-defying grooves.
-
If dance is all you want to see, then Bollywood has never seen anything better than this.
-
...a disappointing and unworthy sequel.
-
...might work for you if you just want to enjoy some cool dance numbers. There is little in the film apart for that to entertain you.
-
Because of its poorly paced beginning, ABCD 2 feels a bit of stretch at 154 minutes.
-
Here we have a lame story which hobbles to steady itself in the first 30 minutes. When it does, it hobbles again before you are almost willing the film to come to an end.
-
Lots of great hip-hop moves. If you are looking for story, move on.
-
...the film is little more than a string of elaborately choreographed music videos woven together. The frail story that lingers between the multiple steroid-infused dance numbers builds on every cliche in the textbook.
-
If only a teeny bit more attention had been paid to the writing of ABCD 2, this could have been a great film. Well, even with its blemishes, it is remarkably entertaining.
-
Sure anybody can dance, but it takes more work to keep an audience consistently engaged.
-
...boasts of a couple of popular young stars, 3D and higher production values, but it is mostly a hollow spectacle. The characters are underdeveloped, the 146-minute narrative drags, and all the energy is reserved for the elaborately staged and eye-popping dance sequences...
-
ABCD 2’s many and needlessly frequent dance sequences make it less of a film and more of a bunch of loosely-strung music videos that can’t tell a compelling story.
-
For dance freaks, there is much on offer. For lovers of cinema, ABCD 2 is a hazy blur of a movie.
-
The mission to feature elaborate, lavish dance sequences rather than focus on the story is ultimately the undoing of ABCD2.
-
...is less a movie, more an extended music video.
-
...a ham-fisted, humdrum affair.
-
Remo has invested his whole cinematic vocabulary on dance and is left with only ABCD when it comes to the emotional choreography.
-
...is too melodramatic and too impressed with itself to be able to deliver an eye-popping dance spectacle that you expect and deserve.
-
A pointless sequel that doesn’t even spotlight its showpiece, the dancing of Prabhu Deva.
-
A string of spectacular dance set-pieces linked together by random scenes.
-
The only way a film like this can beat predictability is to deliver as many surprises as it can. But the writing department is the weakest : clichés abound as the characters whirl about frantically in an attempt to shed cardboard.
-
How you respond to ABCD 2 will probably depend on how much you follow dance-reality shows on television, how much you like hip hop moves, and, most important, if you’re still at an age where you squeal when people you like show up on screen.
