One of THE Best Dance Sequences in All of Dance Movies
I have watched this movie on Netflix and was glad to have given it a try despite my reservations watching foreign B movies. I was impressed and if you are a fan of street/contemporary dance, you have to watch this movie. Although I did not understand the language I was able to interpret much of the movie by the events and the facial expressions. The movie itself is quite long and can drag quite a bit especially in the beginning. But once the dancing begins, you are in for a treat. Prabhu Deva, as the protagonist, Vishnu, performs one of the best dance sequences I have ever witnessed. The dancing in this film is much better than what you typically see in pop shows such as America's Best Dance Crew. The choreography will boggle your mind. But Deva is the star of this show and for good reason. He does a tribute to Michael Jackson. He was simply amazing as he took the moves to another level. The story is kind of corny and very choreographed but you will see some of the best dance...
ABCD - the title tells you all you need to know about this simplistic movie
Even with all the considerable resources of color and choreography that Bollywood customarily brings to bear on its productions, "ABCD: Any Body Can Dance" has no more depth, maturity or sophistication than its American dance-film counterparts like "Step Up" and its sequel "Step Up 2: The Streets." And it's a lot more cloying and lengthy to boot.
Prabhu Deva stars as a mopey dance instructor - who can be a bit of a drama queen when things don't go his way - who takes on the task of whipping a group of high-spirited but decidedly undisciplined youngsters from the "ghetto" (which looks only a shade less affluent than Beverly Hills) into a presentable troupe in time to compete on an amateur TV dance program.
It's all pretty much paint-by-numbers as Vishnu (Deva) takes his charges through their various stages of readiness, with teeth-rotting cutesiness and thumb-sucking childishness the order of the day. The dancing's okay, I guess, but, I seriously think it's time...
I can watch this over and over again
I ABSOLUTELY love this film. My kids loved the film, it rocks. I recommend this movie to my friends are not desi- and they love it! Its fun, lots of great dancing, music, and great story behind it! They need to make a musical out of this, this should be on broadway!
