Watch ABCD 2 For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Beginning with the downers, ABCD 2 is completely based on a routine formula with no great storyline or script as such. There is a competition lost in the beginning and there is an international contest to be won in the finale as usual resulting in a stale plot. Plus despite having a real life Mumbai dance group as its basic inspiration, the film can still be easily called a clever mix of STEP UP series of the west, the last half an hour of Farah's HAPPY NEW YEAR and the basic plot of replacing an injured co-dancer taken from Yash Chopra's DIL TOH PAGAL HAI hinting towards a love triangle. There are too many illogical cinematic liberties taken by the writers in the film like no reason given for why they copied initially, no problems in the foreign travel by the entire young troupe, the boys easily finding a perfect replacement in an unknown foreign city, a huge difference in Prabhudeva's elegant staircase and the interior of his adjacent room and the undisclosed ailment of one of its key dancer finding no mention towards the end, clearly affecting the end-product.Plus the biggest disappointment remains its weak soundtrack that though sounds fine while watching the film in the theater, but doesn't give you anything to go for a second listening later after the show is over. Moreover, along with the uninspiring writing, okay dialogues and a sudden end, it's the over-length of the film going into more than 150 minutes that honestly reduces the overall impact on the viewers and they somehow feel 'served less than the promises made' due to the very reason.Having said that, the film's all clichéd formula still largely works reaching its young target audience since it has one thing in abundance and that too in the purest quality form, i.e. Dance, Stage Performances and their Amazing Moves. So one witnesses a loud applause whenever the youngsters get to see their favourite ones performing on the screen and mind you this doesn't include either Varun or Shradha expectedly. In fact Remo uses his three main underdogs quite intelligently at intervals and the move really works wonders when you get to hear shouts or whistles each time Dharmesh, Punit, Raghav or Lauren (post interval) enter the scene with a quick, smart build-up grooving to some inventive steps.As ABCD 2 (Any Body Can Dance 2) is solely based on its plot of spellbinding dance performances, the film has an outstanding choreography that is sure going to be loved by the ones who are actually into this particular dance form of Hip-Hop and doing similar stage performances as a team (with an appreciative mention of the actual inspiration behind the theme, Suresh Mukund and Vernon Monteiro in the end credits playing it rightly). So even if you are not a dancer yourself but do enjoy the act of dancing naturally, the spirited dedication and the huge effort is sure going to make you feel the excitement, tapping your foot along with the musical beats, particularly in all its well-conceived stage sequences and the patriotically charged climax.The film has a remarkable production value, eye catching set- designs, fabulous lighting and superb cinematography (watch out for the love songs) generating a stunning visual end-result, especially in the spectacular opening sequence, a Chaplin inspired performance in the mid and then the charged up finale devoted to Lord Ganesha (along with a tour of the neon-lights lit Las Vegas as an added attraction). Besides this time for a change the 3D technology really becomes a major plus giving you something to cheer for and not just added for the sake of it as usual.Coming to the performances, this is one of those rare films that is collectively supported by the entire team and not just dependent upon a single person alone due to his or her star-status. Both Varun and Shraddha perform earnestly, displaying a great amount of homework done for their demanding roles and they do impress a lot particularly Varun Dhawan. Here I would specifically like to applaud the two bigger stars for not throwing any tantrums and letting every single person in the film perform freely (taking the center stage) without any ego issues. An example that truly puts these two new generation actors much ahead than their seniors who were known to cut their opponent's role in a film using their star-influence in the industry.But having praised Varun-Shradha for their generous professional approach, the real heroes of the film still undoubtedly remain the famous performers of the dance reality show, namely Dharmesh, Punit, Raghav, Sushant and the gorgeous Lauren Gottlieb also doing well in the acting department. Prabhudeva continuing from the first part as Vishnu Sir surprises you with a well handled emotional act besides his repetitive yet (always) impressive dance moves. Also the cameos of Tisca Chopra, Kapil Sharma, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Pooja Batra and Ganesh Acharya do contribute a bit in their given scenes.To give the entire team their deserving respect, a film like ABCD 2 is certainly not an easy one to make conceiving a differently engaging dance act for every individual artist, for every major event in the script progression, for all its love-songs and the pumped up finale involving hundreds of artists performing together in the same frame on the lavishly designed bright sets. However if only Remo could have stressed more on the storytelling part, reducing the overall duration of the film giving less emphasis to its full length love songs having a better edit, ABCD 2 would have reached a much wider audience offering a non-stop music and dance festival moving ahead than its original hit.

ABCD2Dance India Dance, and burn all the stagesThis is it! Remo D'souza has always delivered more than what is expected. May it be FALTU or the initial ABCD. This movie is not a sequel as it has entirely different story catering everyone who has missed the first part. I urge the audience to watch it in 3D as the team at Walt Disney has done marvelous job in graphics, making it compulsory to watch in theatres.The entire movie is a musical and dancing delight backed-up by excellent cast. Varun Dhawan has literally worked very hard to deliver the expected choreography. On the other hand, Shraddha Kapoor has raised her standards in performance at a new height. All other characters are from the dance reality show on Zee TV - Dance India Dance. Children were very excited to see Raghav (Crockrozz) performing and delivering occasional humour.It is always good to see talent over-taking poverty. According to Remo this story is of Fictitious Group of Nallasopara, their ups and downs. It is but obvious that Shraddha couldn't perform those twists and splits, hence she was purposely injured for Lauran to take over and burn the dance-floor. But, overall the sequence of activities were perfectly arranged.It is till date the best work of Remo as he had a full time support of the dancing legend Prabhudevaa. For giving me goosebumps in the climax sequence and taking into consideration the overall performance, I am bound to give it 7/10 at IMDb. Expecting a BINGO from the team in the future.

This is a must watch movie if you love dancing. The music is mind blowing. I was so attached to it so that one time I nearly stand up and cheered with the audience in the movie. When hip hop music mixed with Indian music and presented with all those out of the box choreography, it's amazing..It has a fairly decent story. But the story is not an Oscar winner. I don't believe it should be. It should simply support the dance scenes to flow one by one. And the story of ABCD2 is doing just that and a little bit more. Simply I love this movie and planning to go watch it for the second time next week. This is the first time ever I am watching a movie two times in a theatre.

ABCD 2 REVIEW- Just finished watching ABCD 2 and came out with happy and satisfied face from theater. Film was looking promising from the first trailer and then dance video songs increased everybody's expectations. Even before trailer film had good buzz due to its surprise successful prequel. Each and every audience loved the prequel so had expectations from its sequel and film will not disappoint you for sure. Lets start from the story,Varun and Sharddha and their dancing group from mumbai is dedicated towards dance but they stole opponent's performance and gets stamp of cheaters on their name. Since then they are eager to get second chance from life. Then they find dancing guru Vishnu sir played by Prabhudeva. They try to convince Vishnu sir and he keep rejecting them. But we know film story cant go ahead without his 'Yes' to them and as expected he agrees to be their choreographer. Then auditions and their breath taking performances with eye catching visuals effects which keeps us to edge of our seats. And then their journey to the finals Obviously predictable but still enjoyable screenplay. Acting department is too good. Varun and Shraddha gave their everything for this movie. Here they proved that they are not only good actors but also are quality dancers. Both steals the show with their acting and dancing as well. Other star cast were not from this acting field so we cant expect them to act well but still they were okay but they will blow you again with their dancing skills here. Story,screenplay were good. But film is too lengthy to watch. Editing could have been better and that was needed there. So many unwanted scenes and songs spoiled the tightness and grip of the film. But here comes a magical direction which impresses us. Remo proved that he has become one the finest director when it comes to entertain all kind of audience. He kept our excitement high in every important scene like dance performances,climax and some patriotic scenes. Too many clap worthy and whistle worthy scenes and some scenes with patriotic theme were just wow. Camera work was brilliant as they shoot movie for 3D only. But don't know it was the problem of theater's projector or film's team bad work that i film screen wasn't clear i just couldn't see the single scene with clarity. I will have to watch the movie again in another theater for its clarity. Anyways final words its Another Paisa Vasool Entertainer from Remo. You just cant miss it. If you like watching dance movie with some clap worthy scenes and wholesome entertainer for all ages then you cant afford to miss this one. Go for it,its must watch for dance lovers and to those who liked its prequel and certainly one time watch for classes audience. Film completes all expectations as whole. 7 * stars by me :)
