ABCD
2,
starring
Varun
Dhawan
and
Shraddha
Kapoor,
has
'danced'
away
to
Rs
50
crore-plus
in
the
first
five
days
of
its
release
and
its
director,
Remo
D'Souza,
credits
the
film's
script
and
not
the
awe-inspiring
choreography
for
the
success.
An
out-and-out
dance-based
film,
ABCD
2,
which
released
June
19,
has
been
noticed
by
film
buffs
as
well
as
critics
for
its
well-shot
and
beautifully
choreographed
dance
sequences.
But
Remo
doesn't
agree
with
this
theory.
"ABCD
-
AnyBody
Can
Dance
and
ABCD
2
has
succeeded
not
merely
because
of
dance,
but
mainly
because
of
its
good
script.
Viewers
have
loved
the
story
and
that's
why
my
movies
have
done
well
at
the
box
office.
No
film
can
do
well
purely
on
the
basis
of
dance," Remo
said
here.
Emphasising
that
he
is
not
just
a
'dance
film
director',
he
cited
the
example
of
his
debut
directorial
F.A.L.T.U.,
and
said,
"I
didn't
start
out
my
directorial
career
with
a
dance
film
as
I
knew
people
thought
a
choreographer
will
easily
make
a
dance
film.
And
even
with
a
non-dance
film,
I
had
delivered
a
successful
film."
