Now this movie has turned out to  be a surprise very early in the year. ABCD, a film with a set of new faces and Prabhudeva as the lead from down South , has found audience rooting for itself from the content as well as footfalls perspective. In fact when compared to Vishwaroop, which had another main lead from the South, Kamal Haasan - a supremely bigger name by all proportions, ABCD has done so  much  better while shrugging off all the predictions whatsoever.

"It's the connect factor that has done the trick", says an insider. "This is one of these rare instances when television audience has rooted for a film to do well in theaters as well. Remo  is a huge name when it comes to judging dance shows on TV. Also, various dancers who  have been roped in to act in the film are household names. More than anything else it is the novelty factor that has done the trick."
