Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Hysteria28 I finally got round to make the attempt to watch this movie after a long wait. A movie coming from Ken Ghosh, I was not expecting anything exciting. For me it was just another movie that had to be watched. His previous venture 'Fida' was enjoyable. This is his third movie with Shahid Kapoor, so I'm sure that he was hoping that it would work wonders like his previous two movies. Unfortunately due to a weak and routine plot the movie fails to leave an impression. The theme has been repeated in countless movies in the past. This movie had nothing fresh to add to that so the outcome was disatisfying. Yes Ghosh has directing ability. But if he wrote a better script, maybe the movie would have turned out worthwhile. Despite a duration of just 2 hours, the movie seemed to have a slow pace.The attempt to show a guy struggling to become a actor was not convincing. I had seen it all before so it was nothing new. There was also a side plot involving helping some school kids to improve at what they are learning. However that was not integrated well in to the main story. Genelia D Souza is a good actress with a cute face. Though with limited scope she was wasted. I hope that she will be part of better movies in the future. Shahid Kapoor is given another opportunity to display his noddy work and dancing skills. I feel that he is a better dancer than a actor. Lately his acting has become very similar in all his movies. I quiet enjoyed the 'rishta hai mera' picturistaion and the scene when Shahid was crying. Other than that there was nothing much commendable.
Vikas SS Chance Pe Dance is a hackneyed story based on ‘reality shows’, the 'happening' stuff these days. Following the moderately successful “Ishq Vishq” and box office failure “fida”, this is the third of Ken Ghosh – Shahid Kapoor combos. While its budget permitted it to hire stars, it sorely loses out on juvenile script and shabby execution.The story is about Sameer, a Michael Jackson devotee and a starry eyed struggler who fights his budgets by toasting bread with an iron, and has a broken fridge for a cupboard. Then there are failed auditions and dodging the landlord for rent. He nearly lands up with a music video but is displaced by a star-son. In the process though, he gains the smiley Tina (Genelia) a choreographer as his friend.While the movie is themed on Dance and occasionally demonstrates its stuff, lame songs and an underused Shahid make a dumb movie dumber. Impracticality continues and a director who just saw Sameer dance casts him 'hero' in his next flick. But wait, the movie has just started and how can it be so goody-goody already? Then, the predictable happens. His production knocks him off for a talent hunt instead.Till now you just had fun and drama is due to kick-in. A now jobless and homeless Sameer now decides to live in his car. Wait, did I say 'car'? A guy juggling borderline poverty drives around his four wheels! The only silly reason for the car was that the script wanted to have its 'hero' living in a car! It doesn’t end here. He takes up a job teaching school kids to dance while using their bathrooms for ablutions.Trying to reach out to teens, they had to show have some child drama like the kids wining the inter-school dance competition, all due to Shahid. Though clichéd, the scene where his pupils part with their lunch boxes to feed their hungry and penniless teacher is touching. These lows also give an opportunity to the lead couple to show some chemistry, with a little help from Tina’s brother played neatly by Zain Khan.It attempts to include humor, but this Augean mess of a movie leaves you curse your choice of movie. As you endure its painful length and poor editing, you turn into a hapless victim of reality TV drama transferred to a larger screen. Substantiating the accusations of imitating King Khan, Shahid does a 'my mom’s dream’ speech that even touches his rigid father. No prizes for guessing the obvious ending.So, is there anything at all that is worthwhile in this? Barring Genelia’s freshness and some teen stuff, there is nothing. The dances are boring; Shahid retains his Kaminay hairdo and six-pack abs are now passé. Shahid’s forte is about cute looks and dance moves, both of which are untapped fully. So, take my advice, save your time and money; forget that this movie ever released; applies to die hard Shahid fans too!
agoyal1979 After spending 2 hours in the cinema hall digesting this movie, I had decided not to waste even a single extra minute. But then I thought, a few minutes of mine could save a lot of useful hours of a lot of people. In summary, if you have never seen someone selling domestic garbage packed in a shiny box, this is a prime example. UTV must have spent a fortune marketing this absolute disappointment.I gave 3 to this movie. There are loads of reasons, but almost everything about this movie is really bad. The direction, editing, music, nothing has even a glimmer of hope.Shahid Kapur surely doesn't deserve such a waste of a movie after Jab we Met and Kaminey. Genelia is now the 2nd actress in Bwood who has issues speaking the language. At some point, our directors have to understand that the lead actress has to be more than a pretty face. Most disappointing was Mohnish Behl, who I thought for some reason was trying to be like Annu Malik of Indian Idol.Take my suggestion and avoid.
JEFF HARDY the movie was not hyped to start with so we can say its no big deal that it will not be a blockbuster as all the genres don't want to watch it well after seeing the movie one would be satisfied if hes a dancelike because the dance steps and the choreography is top notch although the songs are not as good as one would have liked them to be As far as the acting are concerned shah id was great and genial la was so-so but was looking cute\now other characters of the movie settled in their respective role not perfectly but to an extent of watching them till a point my verdict 6/10
