You rarely see him teach a move or give any dancing input to the group. In the reel version, the group decide to rope in a guru/instructor in Vishnu Sir (Prabhudheva), who apart from wowing in the track Happy Hour, is entirely superfluous to the proceedings. In real life, Suresh & Vernon decided to earn respect and win over their detractors by practising hard and raising money on their own to go to Las Vegas for the championships. It is a running problem throughout the film - one is never moved by the adversities encountered by the Mumbai Stunners. These mocking scenes are so poorly scripted that they make you laugh instead of empathising for the group. How (melo)dramatic! To increase the dramatic quotient of the group's downfall further, Vernon, a pizza delivery boy, is given a hard time by a customer and Suresh aka Suru, a waiter, gets into a brawl with patrons.

The female judge rubs it in further by telling Suresh that his mother (Prachi Shah), a kathak dancer who died with ghungroos on her feet, would be bitterly disappointed.Ĭut to an angst-ridden Varun Dhawan dancing bare-chested with pillow feathers and sparks in the background. In ABCD 2, we start off straight with Suresh (Varun Dhawan), Vernon (Sushant Pujari), Vinnie (Shraddha Kapoor), Raghu (Raghav Juyal) and the other members of the group Mumbai Stunners being labelled as 'cheaters' and 'copycats' after the judges find that their routine is lifted from their idols, the Philippine All Stars (the renowned group later make an appearance in the film).

We're guessing that heading from Nalasopara to Las Vegas, where the group became the first Indian dance team to participate in the World Hip Hop Championships and even made it as far to the finals, is more gritty and has a better ring to it. Of the handful of creative liberties that writers, D'Souza and Tushar Hiranandani, have taken with the group's inspiring journey in their supposed pursuit to regale the viewers, the Vasai bit isn't mentioned.
