Movie Review: Chance pe Dance - An average fare!
This movie was not on my to-watch list, but I saw this movie since there were no better ones to watch! I have always admired Shahid Kapoor’s dancing talent, so thought I could find out how he fared in this dance-centric movie.
Sameer Behl (Shahid Kapoor) is a struggling actor with amazing talent looking for a break in Bollywood. In spite of his immense talent, he will find it extremely difficult to land a gig since he will have no money, no family in the movie industry, and no political connections. In his difficult journey he meets Tina Sharma (Genelia D’Souza), a struggling choreographer, who recognizes his talent and encourages him to realize his dream against all odds. The movie takes you through Sameer’s trials and tribulations in his chosen path, and his ultimate destiny.
The only crowd-puller for this movie was Shahid’s dancing talent. Though Shahid has done his best, the choreography is very poor. There is probably only one dance sequence in the movie where you watch Shahid and go “wow”. Everything else seems very ordinary. Shahid, for whatever reason, seems to be trying very hard to make it big after his break up with Kareena – maybe an ex-lover’s fued, and he has tried really hard in this movie too, but nobody else has supported him. Genelia is a complete misfit to the role – this girl can’t dance properly, act properly, or even talk properly – wonder how she is still surviving in the industry. She seemed cute and nice in her role in “Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Na”, and may be the success of that movie is carrying her still. The movie is fraught with illogical sequences (which is okay I guess, considering a Bollywood movie, but they kind of stand out in this movie).
I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie. Unless you an ardent fan of Shahid, and want to go see him dance (albeit to bad choreography), and drool at his six packs and broad chest, you are better of saving your time and money by passing this movie.
