No chance for this 'Dance'

While 3 Idiots still continue to rock at the Indian box-office, the first three weeks of January has gone without a single film making a mark both with the audience as well at the box-office.

But with UTV's Chance Pe Dance, there was a ray of hope, primarily because the film was touted to be a tale of a talented struggler and secondly it was the first film when two teen heart-throbs Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D'souza were coming together on the big screen.

The promos depicted the struggler in Shahid and nothing extra-ordinary was expected of the film except that people wanted to see the chemistry of the lead pair Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D'souza.

A lacklustre attempt, supported by a weak script, the only factors that stand out in the film are Shahid and Genelia. Their chemistry is great and so is their performance. But the deplorable script doesn't lift the film beyond ordinary stuff.

At the box-office, the film had a lukewarm start domestically. The occupancy for morning and noon shows ranged between 15 to 25 per cent. The film doesn't look like having a good future.

The opening has come as a rude shock since Shahid's Kismet Konnection as well as Kaminey had a flying start.

All eyes now lie on Salman Khan's Veer. Going by the promos, the film holds promise to be a money churner.

But the ultimate reviewer is the audience!
