Review

The entire movie is all about ballroom and Latin dancing and has nothing else to offer. Especially, the story is very much routine and there is nothing to boast about. The audience have seen this kind of concept in a bunch of films and Time To Dance also follows the format of the same regular dance-related movies like 'ABCD', 'Street Dancer' etc. 

From 'Dil To Pagal Hai' to 'Street Dancer', director Stanley has followed the footsteps of so many other dance films. He focused more on the diverse dance forms ballroom and Latin dancing. But, the routine story became the major setback. Choreography by Stanley and Remo D'Souza is top-notch. As dance is the heart of the film, the choreography played a crucial role and all the dance performances came out well. The screenplay is also very much predictable. Music is just average. The cinematography is decent.  

As Isabelle Kaif looks so much like Katrina Kaif, one cannot stop themselves from comparing her with her sister. Though Isabelle's acting is not that great and most of her expressions fell flat for all the scenes, she did an amazing job as a dancer. It is an eye feast to watch her dance on the screens. Sooraj Pancholi also tried to put up his best in the film and justified his role. His chemistry with Isabelle also worked out well for this film. Their dance moves are very impressive. 

Verdict

'Time To Dance' is a watchable film for the outstanding dance performances by the lead actors but with a routine storyline as the setback.
