4/10
Choreography A+, story well not so much

Warning: Spoilers
The best parts about the film is the choreography. I was honestly quite intrigued by the concept when I heard stories about how the idea of the film was developed.

Fact - SWAT is an amazing organization helping immigrants in London. What an amazing idea to base the concept of the film. sadly we only got to see that part of the film for a few measly minutes in a 2 hour long film.

The effort is earnest but the result is not as up to the mark. Of course Remo D'Souza has done a spectacular job with the choreography and cinematography. Wonder why he didn't hire a good screenwriter to write a story that could have made a huge impact and given a strong message about togetherness and unity.

I'm giving this film a 4/10 because of the overall effect it has created in terms of the visual effects and dancing but i cut 6 points because I felt quite cheated in terms of story. Wish they spent more time establishing the actual premise rather than showing useless moments spent bickering between the crews.

Was good to see all the dancers from Dance India Dance, Dance Plus seasons - pleasant surprises were 13.13 and Wild Rippers. Good to see them perform again.

P.S. I want to ask Mr. Remo D'Souza why Punit Pathak gets the most disturbing characters - in the first installment ABCD he's a drug addict who dies in an accident, Second installment he has cancer and in this one he couldn't dance because of a broken knee - like seriously why?! That guy is one of the best dancers in India and he was under utilized, almost made to look like a piece of furniture. Beyond flabbergasted.
