      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.

      Must Watch for Dance Lover

      Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) was awesome movie for all dance lover...I really appreciate a hard work done by remo d'souza. must watch :)

      All are good in this movie and specially prabhu deva dance is super to watch.

      Ramesh sir and others are super duper and dance also awesome done by these people.

      Story is not bad and D, Chandu and other character done great work with this movie and have respect after watching by people.

      good steps taken by dancers and we can also wait for future if remo d'souza direct any other dance movie.

      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...!

      Really a good movie.

      I was impressed by the presentation of the movie including the dance and music. I got the feeling that I am watching a Hollywood movie.

      I was expecting movie like Step Up series but I could clearly say that it gives a blow to Step Up. It was bit above step up. The VFX, SFX and Sound effect are too good and can be compared to Hollywood.

      The only negative point in the movie (in 3D) was about the camera focus. The camera focus is not properly and cause a headache to me. In Some Part (in clip when Dill Se appears) it was too bad even worst in some dance steps.

      Otherwise movie is awesome and i will give it 9/10. You can say that movie is "Full Paisa Vasool (got full value for money)"

      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
