Dance film Street Dancer 3D, starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, is the latest victim of piracy website Tamilrockers.
A Remo D'Souza directorial, Street Dancer 3D also stars Prabhudheva, Nora Fatehi, Raghav Juyal, Punit Pathak, Salman Yusuff Khan and Dharmesh Yelande among others.
Street Dancer 3D released alongside Kangana Ranaut starrer Panga.
Talking about the box office prospects of Street Dancer 3D, film trade analyst Girish Johar said, “Varun has a huge draw and so does Shraddha. Nora is also there. Then Remo and Prabhudheva have their own following in terms of dance lovers. So these are all strengths of the film. It’s a dance film, so everyone knows at the end of the day, it’s a popcorn entertainer.”
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 1.5 stars.
Shubhra wrote in her review, "Another film would have made something of the fact that its two warring-but-will-turn-into-loving leads belong to ‘enemy’ countries. But all this one does is have Sahaj, repping Big Brother India, lecture Inayat’s conservative family, so she is ‘allowed’ to do what pleases her. Still, when the film starts making noises about India-Pakistan bhai-bhai, with the almost-forgotten ‘mile sur mera tumhara’ ringing in the background, you want to give it a bravery award: any talk of ‘bhaichara’ in these times deserves attention, even if it stays strictly on the stage."
