Review: Chance Pe Dance

Verdict: Timepass

"K" Rating: 2.5 / 5

Watch: DVD

Chance Pe Dance has Shahid playing the underdog who wants to make it big in Bollywood as a dancing star. Shahid looks fantastic in the movie and lets not forget he is a good no Great dancer.This movie is must if you are a Shahid fan.Intune with the title the movie is about making best with whatever opportunities one is presented with,about the "never say die" attitude even if the opportunities vanish midway. GeneliaD'souza looks fresh but rather too peppy/perky in her role.Shahid Kapoor- Genelia D'souza have good chemistry and the pairing is a breath of air.

Unfortunately the story lacks substance and plausibilitythereby the audience fails to connect with the protagonist. One is usually aware of the ending in most underdog movies, however its the journey

which is supposed to be captivating- remember Lakshya/Luck by Chance or Step Up? this is where Chance pe Dance fails to do Chance pe dance and turns out to be a lukewarm/timepass experience with few light moments sprinkled across. Thanks to ad-man Ken Ghosh, director of CPD, the Dance sequences are embellished with impressive choreography howbeit they look MTVish.

Two songs which are worth a special mention are "Pe pe Pepin" and "Pump it Up" both are upbeat, fun and are bound to give an adrenaline rush. They do justice to the line "Back Straight,Attitude. Feel the Music".
