<?php
    $_items = $block->getReviewsCollection()->getItems();

    <div class="toolbar review-toolbar">
        <?php echo $block->getChildHtml('toolbar') ?>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif;?>

Also created register.php, composer file and theme.xml in Test/abc folder and in backend theme is assigned.

But its not working.

Have you applied that theme in store ? – Emipro Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Jul 20 '17 at 13:43 — Emipro Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Jul 20 '17 at 13:43

When you place the file in the same location like you have done you extend the file, to completely override it you need to place it in the following directory:

<theme_dir>
  |__/<Namespace_Module>
    |__/layout
      |__/override
         |__/base
           |--<layout1>.xml
           |--<layout2>.xml

Or if you need to overwrite the file from a parent theme:

<theme_dir>
  |__/<Namespace_Module>
    |__/layout
      |__/override
         |__/theme
            |__/<Parent_Vendor>
               |__/<parent_theme>
                  |--<layout1>.xml
                  |--<layout2>.xml

Your example

So if you are overriding review_product_list.xml from base (the module) you would create this file:

app/design/frontend/Test/abc/Magento_Review/layout/override/base/review_product_list.xml

And if you're overriding it from a parent theme:

app/design/frontend/Test/abc/Magento_Review/layout/override/theme/PARENT-VENDOR/PARENT-THEME/review_product_list.xml

If this doesn't work I think there is a bigger problem, such as a theme not being configured properly.
