Failure is the stepping stone to success. Our hero Sameer Behl ( Shahid) believes that one has to really be focused to be achieve something in life. A gestation period of 4 years is required to really see all the ups and downs. Does it sound like his own journey to Star Status.
After JAB WE MET and Kaminey this movie is a little bit of let down. A decent romance or kissing scene too is missing. Maybe the story line was changed as an after thought. It is surprising that a struggling Hero lends almost 18 K to his friend to enjoy with females, giving credence to the casting couch theory.
Sameer does a Lungi advt and one Yogurt advt to begin his career. The Lungi advt is funny, it states in the punch line that circulation of air is guaranteed.provided there is breeze. He is thrown out of the yoghurt advt. since he was critical of the kid model, who happens to be directors kit and kin. So it is an indirect message to new comers, think before you open your gob. Don t throw tantrums otherwise one will regret liesurely. In one Kannada film a hero was slapped recently by a director and he has taken it in his stride so that his picture sees the light of the day Lol
By chance he comes across the heroine Tina( Genelia D’Souza) in a dance class and passes a honest comment on her dancing skill. She happens to be a choreographer, and she takes in her stride, because Sameer’s dancing skill is obviously better than her. One day impressed by his dance, he is offered a role by Monish Behl( director) for a dance oriented theme. Sameer is thrilled eventually after nearly 4 years of struggle he has an opportunity to hit the screen as an hero. But chance or bad luck has other things in store for him. He is discarded in favour of choosing a hero through reality show.
Why Director Ken Gosh was not able to present the reality show, with the thrill of SMS voting is a mystery. Whereas the struggle of upcoming actor is depicted well in form of being chucked out by his owner for not paying rent. The hero prefers to stay put in Zen, he even dries his undies on the steering wheel, has his bath in the school bathroom, and washes clothes over there. He even takes up assignment of a dance teacher to earn his livelihood. He is even kicked on his box or abdomen, seems to be cricketer wearing abdomen guard as a protection. The cheeky dialogue how is going to have kids? seems unwarranted.
But fate and luck has other ways, he is motivated by his girl friend TINA to participate in the reality show for his selection, but he has to give up his participation due to demolition drive by Delhi Muncipality in Saket, how the story takes a twist and turn is to be seen.
The movie is purely built on the dancing skills of Shahid, but there is not much humour, it seems to stark reality that life is a hardcore struggle. The only message seems to be never give up hope, even if you don t have god father in the industry. But if one has to struggle for 4 years will he have the resources to survive in reality is an issue which is convincing addressed I should say. There is nothing unethical or immoral route undertaken by the hero to succeed, that is the essence of the movie.
All bad things in life has to end.and the hero lives happily ever after. Songs are passable.luckily I did not snore in the theatre otherwise it would have driven out some of them. Occupancy was hardly 20% for the first day first show.come on guys and gals enjoy the privacy and watch Chance Pe Dance.
