Surely the movie has its moments but they are far and between. There are quite a lot of scenes in the movie that try to make the viewer sympathetic but do nothing better than annoying the viewer.The opening scene of the movie shows the wretched condition of the protagonist Sameer aka Sam who has a loaf of bread and orange juice to survive in this unkind world. There is a usual landlord knocking his door to get his due rent of four months. In the end the same person arrives for the premier of his movie and is obviously a superstar now. There are hardly any scenes in the middle that are able to engage the audience. The comic scenes seem to be strained, the unreal emotions and a jaded script kills the film. The sub-plot that tries to engage the viewer is left to oblivion for the reasons best known to the director.
The movie shows that there is no end to the misery of Sam even after getting a lead role in a dance based film. He is thrown out of his house by his cruel landlord and is penniless to afford a meal. Audience might have empathized with him but his 8 pack abs turn out to be a spoilsport here. It could have been possible only when he was splurging on a protein diet in a costly gym which is not feasible for him as his condition is depicted. Or he might be a god gifted person.
Every scene and situation of the movie appears to be clichéd whatever they may offer. The job of Sam as a dance instructor, him preparing a bunch of kids, his anticipated success, Tina (Sam’s girlfriend) urging him to participate in a nationwide hunt for an actor and he wins the contest. All these moments are too predictable for a viewer and don’t offer anything new to us. In these times when a viewer is so careful while going for a movie and many film makers coming with a novel theme this one surely disappoints.
The music of such a dance based film must have been good enough to play on DJ but the music also contributes in the dampening of this boring and too predictable film. There is not a single chartbuster from the movie and on whole Adnan Sami disappoints. The song‘ Pump It Up’ might be an exception but it comes at the end of the movie and audience is bored of this predictable dancing extravaganza, so no one cares for it. On a whole the songs are not the one we will remember for longer.
The only thing that works for the movie is the dance steps by Shahid Kapur which are beautifully executed by him. He surely makes them entertaining but they can hardly save the film. He has again shown his excellence in dancing and is the only positive in this film.
Performance wise Shahid tries hard and his act is not so bad but he should choose films that can do justice to his talent. He has done movies like‘Kaminey’ in the past which are a treat to watch but here one wonders what was going in his mind while signing this film. Genelia looks adorable in the movie and her pairing with Shahid looks pleasing to the eye. The scenes between them give some respite to the viewer. As far as director Ken Ghosh is concerned he could not have done anything with a film whose script and story was insipid.
In short, Chance Pe Dance misses its target audience by quite a margin. The viewer knows the end of the movie in the first half itself and does not want to wait till the end of the movie. CPD can be viewed only by a die-hard fan of Shahid Kapur (which is quite a lot after Kaminey) , otherwise it is hard to tolerate its entire duration of 2 hours and some odd minutes.
