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 sequences you will ever see on film. I would put the moves above You Got Served and Step Up. Who would have thought that the Indians would outdo the Americans at their own moves. Be warned, though, the dialogue is in Indian for the most part. Have an Indian interpreter next to you so that you can make out what is being said. Or, just enjoy the movie for the dancing. By the way, Jehangir Kahn, sure looks so much like Kevin Brauch, Iron Chef America's floor reporter. Amazing. Two thumbs up!

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 for Bollywood to grow up a little and stop pandering to this apparent need on the part of its audience for emotional primitivism all the time. As one character, in a rare moment of honest self-reflection, says about the entertainment industry in India, "Mediocrity is king." Truer words were never spoken.

Honest reviews on ABCD (Any Body Can Dance) (Hindi Movie / Bollywood Film / Indian

Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) is the best Hindi dance movie that I've seen in the last year. It is amazing. It is heavy dance with a lot of modern jazz dance in it as well.

This movie does not lack in storyline either. There's a little something for everyone: love, drama, sadness and joy. I love this movie so much, I've watched this move 3 times and I love the dance sequences so much that I want to buy the movie so I can watch them for years to come.

My 6 year old watched it with me. He didn't understand a word of the movie, but he was fully engaged by the drama, music and the dance of this amazing film.
