Quite soon into the film, Prabhudeva’s character says: ‘should I show or tell’? In a dance movie, is that even a question?
Varun Dhawan, he of the spectacular gym body, dances with heart and is earnest, but his character never seems wholly convincing. Ditto Shraddha Kapoor, who grapples with a one-dimensional character. Even their romance is carelessly developed.
The’only’ time the film comes alive is when Prabhu Dheva takes to the dance floor in a pub scene, when Lauren Gottlieb sets the screen ablaze with her superb dancing, and when the troupe dancers, several from the first film, show their mettle.
Again its a personal opinion.
Do watch all reviews before finalising your view.
