ABCD’s essence is made up of some fantastic, eye-popping dances. Whereas the template may seem traditional – the triumph of both the underdog – the movie has its fair of scenes that stick with you, especially the later sections of the movie. Decent watch!” India’s Shivesh Kumar. Weekly rated the movie 3 out of 5 stars.
