    Disney steps in to do the sequel to 2013's <em>'ABCD'</em>, not that you'd notice as the two films are virtually indistinguishable. <em>'ABCD 2'</em> is just as slow and limp as the original, though once again does feature a crap tonne of dance so if that's all you want then you might like this. I didn't, simply put. They even made this one slightly longer, which was a very bad call. This film does have a bit more of an actual plotline to follow, but it isn't anything of substance and quickly takes on all the clichΓ©s you'd expect it to. Like the other, it is very poorly written. Be original, if nothing else. As for the cast, Prabhu Deva reprises the role of Vishnu - I found his acting to be a tad better this time. As before, though, no-one else onscreen sticks out. Very bloated, for the second time running. Forces too much and goes on for way too long. Poor.
