      ***Entertaining and Entertaining***

      A great dance movie from the house of Bollywood, starring - non other than the Michael Jackson of India.

      Some excellent dance numbers with mind blowing performances. KK is as usual- spot on in his role. Some sudden twists in the plot, which make the movie even more exciting. Lauren is a great dancer, but she proved that she is a good actor too.

      It's a different movie which has a story well presented along with some nice dance performances. It clearly reveals the hidden talent of India and proves that India can dance too. Hats off to Remo - for this brave initiative. He undoubtedly complied the movie with a clever brain & pure heart.

      A must watch for dance lovers!!

      DO-If u love watching Dance.....DON'T- If u love watching Movies.

      Well, after watching FALTU i didn't have the courage of watching a Remo D' Souza movie. But still it were my friends who bought the ticket and i had to go. I knew there wont be any story, direction, acting, etc. But one thing that everyone will find in it is Choreography. Remo is good at it.

      SYNOP-

      Acting- KK Menon very good acting, or an average one seemed so because no body else new what the thing is acting. All rest of the actors(i doubt they can be called so) deserve 1/10. Prabhu Deva needs to learn the diction first. Also his much hyped dance was looking awkward in front of others. He was good but awkward.

      Script and Story- Well, after watching this movie, any one will say " What the hell is this thing called Script" lol.

      DANCE- The only thing in this movie that can pull the show and Remo has really worked well in the choreography of Dance Sequences. And to those who say that it is inspired from step up, buddy all the Dance movies are one and the same. And so is this movie.

      As i said DO WATCH-If u love watching Dance...

      DON'T- If u love watching Movies...

      Also i would add that in-spite of being a dumb movie, this movie is going to do good business, all credit to its Wonderfully choreographed Dance.

      ABCD is the bible for dancing which will entertain right from the beginning till the end.

      I have always believed that music has no boundary. After watching ABCD , my saying has changed and I would say that dancing "pumps up your heartbeat , refreshes your mind and will make you forget about all the pain in life". Any Body Can Dance is the bible for dancing which will entertain right from the beginning till the end.

      A brilliant choreographer is fired by his own company after they claim that his dance skills are old-fashioned. To prove his mettle , he starts his own company by hiring group of wanna-be dancers and even some local goons.

      Directed by Remo ( FALTU) , ABCD takes you by complete surprise with excellent presentation of dancing skills and beautiful choreography. Remo , being a great choreography himself, does a superb job as director making sure that film is made with universal appeal. The story line is strong with Prabhudeva being the soul of the film. Watch for him dancing extensively in the disco scene and you will know he is one of the best dancers in the country. Screenplay is tight keeping you engaged. Cinematography is eye-catching capturing the wonderful choreography with ease. Editing is crispy. Dialogues are good. Background score gels well with the flow of the film. However , I felt music could have been better considering it to be a musical movie. Barring tuneful "Bezuban" with wonderful picturization , other songs were average. Kay Kay Menon did fine job as a shrewd as Jahangir Khan. Other performance were nice.

      Overall , ABCD was heart-wrenching dance movie which will leave you spellbinding with excellent dance moves and eye-catching choreography. Excellent 4.5/5

      ABCA: Any Body Can't Act... Yet It Scores!

      The acting is questionable and the story of this dance-centered enjoyable movie is ditto Hollywood flick "Step Up!"

      For people who didn't get the first line, ABCD is a very good movie for dance lovers. Minus the aforementioned factors, it is a visual treat. And the 3D is very amateur, to be frank. But, who cares when we are really enjoying it. The 3D, actually spices up the dance moves and water splashes. Director Remo has justified at making a hardcore attempt on a dance film. The dance sequences are great and with oodles of style and motions, ABCD scores high! But, when it comes to the plot, acting, dialogues or even screenplay, ABCD fails, badly.

      But, with a plot so predictable and feeble, ABCD is not serious cinema. Prabhu Deva is cool with his wacky moves but I couldn't find improvisation 'cause it gives you the old Television reality show look. More like a b-boy battleground this. Dancing has been little bit misinterpreted here. It has n number of plot holes and over that one gaping hole which could sink a ship. Clichéd, stylish, and subtle - that's what ABCD is. But, over all, I enjoyed it!

      BOTTOM LINE: A must watch for dance lovers and a fine entertaining watch if you don't get serious with the plot or story or acting. For everyone else, there's Special 26.

      OVERACTING ALERT: Ganesh Acharya & Dharmesh Yelande!

      Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

      Its an exceptionally nice dance flick in Bollywood.. Gripping

      Without any doubt, this can be called the best movie in Indian Cinema which involves dance of the 'awesome-st' quality. This is the one most significant thing you will find in this movie which will keep you stuck to your seats. Its a nice work consisting of some of the best dancers on TV.

      Although one cant help but notice that the theme is quite similar to Hollywood movies such as 'Step Up', ABCD has a story line and plot which captivates the audience by depicting it in an 'Indian' way.

      There can be overacting that is evident at times, along with a few flaws. But even in spite of that, the dancers in the team of ABCD has done an exceptionally good job in this movie. The dance performed by Prabhudeva adds to it, of course.

      The screenplay and dialogues are no good. But then again, it proves to be a great entertainer which goes with the theme of the movie.

      I enjoyed it a lot. Most definitely a one time watch...!
