To begin I would like to appreciate Remo for his effort and bringing the Bollywood audience something new. I know this is much like the Hollywood "Step Up" flicks of which I am not much of a fan and I don't think I am fan of this one either. The only thing enjoyable here are the dance sequences and music, minus that we have a fill of poor acting, screenplay and dialogues. The story clichéd and predictable. The cheap 3D usage with all those pointing sticks and pipes was evident even if I saw it in 2D. Overall, if you ignore the elements of good film and just focus on the dancing you will have a good time. I mean, even I enjoyed watching the Prabhudeva light up the screen with his wacky moves! and Remo's choreography is always fantastic. Still, I cannot say ABCD is a good film.RATING: [2/5]

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!!

I reckon at the moment that this is the best dance movie out there, in my opinion. It's predictable in the sense that the underdogs of the entire film end up winning however, the story itself was not predictable at all. How they won the dance competition was surprising, and most importantly how Vishnu got the dance crew together. Of course there were a lot of parts there that were cheesy and possibly unnecessary but at the same time it successfully got my attention which was enough for me to keep watching it. The acting was very good, the over acting by some of the characters could have been done without however it's very comedic. People say that it's a copy of step up but I disagree. It is actually a lot better than step up because after Step up 1 the series begins to have a dead story and i stopped watching after step up 2. Overall i recommend ABCD.

To put it simply, ABCD or Any Body Can Dance, written and directed by choreographer Remo D'Souza is entertainment, entertainment and entertainment.Technically and production-wise, ABCD, howsoever the title may sound silly, punches you hard. Niftily edited dance sequences, a chase that is a mix of dancing and eye-popping jumps, make ABCD the Dabangg of dancing. ABCD tugs at your emotional cords all the way as Prabhu Deva (Vishnu Sir) tries to convert a bunch of street ruffians into champions. But all said and done the real heroines and heroes of ABCD are the dancers that make you cry, laugh, and dance with them. DON'T MISS: The grand finale of the film and the number that follows in which Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya and Remo shake a mean leg as credits scroll down in the end.
