Chandni Chowk To China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a madcap Journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi, to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China, marrying in its wake hilarious gags, breathtaking action, spectacular locations and heart stirring emotions.
Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a roadside food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts- with astrologers, tarot readers and fake fakirs - basically believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun Chakraborty) best efforts.
His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and takes him to China. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women, and a princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the Promised Land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)!
So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils which await him. Along the way he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), Ms. Tele Shoppers Media (Ms. TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.
Initially, Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men but finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as the country buffoon that he really is. Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make him a Kungfu expert and set the village free. Armed with his Sifu (master), faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi Sidhu sets forth to conquer all! |

Absurd but fun  |

| This is an absurd but fun live action version of Kung Fu Panda. Akshay Kumar heads to china to find his destiny and is pursued by martial arts experts and twin beauties. Beware, however, the Indian film version contained some scenes inappropriate for children. Ironically, those were cut of the US release which is only PG-13 for violence and some language. If you like Akshay, this should be a fun one. |

| This was a terrible movie. The plot was so far fetched and the action sequences were lame. One scene showed Aksay and the Deepika jumping from a building and surviving by opening an umbrella to float BOTH of them to safety. It tried to be an romantic-action movie, but they throw in this fantasy scene which made it unwatchable for me after that. The movie also uses the old twins separated at birth and nobody knows trick which is getting tiresome. I guess when India is putting out thousands of movies it’s must be hard to come up with a unique idea, and is much easier to copy someone else, whether it be a South Indian, or Hollywood movie. |
