36 China Town Movie Review:
well my review got deleted somehow so i’ve brought it back.
36 China Town is Shahid’s first movie with Abbas-Mustan.Expectations from Shahid’s fans are high:
-How is Shahid’s performance?After all this is his first movie since December.
-How is Shahid and Kareena’s chemistry?They both have stated it’s better than Fida
Well let’s answer those questions:Performance is great while the chemistry is getting better.
Story:
Shahid wants to become an actor.He tells his parents, they get mad, he runs away, meets Kareena and they fall in love.They find a child and they take the child back to their house, 36 China Town.When they get there the head of the house is dead.They weren’t the only ones in the house.Johnny Lever and his wife were there.Paresh Rawal was there.Shahid and Kareena were there.and Upen Patel was there.Akshaye Khanna is the detective trying to figure everything out.
Positives:
-Shahid’s performance
-Akshaye’s performance
-Music
-Story and screenplay
-Direction
-Shahid’s Dancing
-Shahid and Kareena’s chemistry is much better than Fida
-The scenes with Paresh and Johnny
Negatives:
-Upen Patel
Performances:
Upen is ok.Nothing to boast about.
Paresh was as usual.
Johnny and his wife were loud but funny.
Tanushree looked nice.
Priyanka Chopra did ok.
Kareena was great in her part
Akshaye did very well which surprised me.Much better than his last release Shaadi Se Pehle
Shahid did his role with such ease.This is easily one of his best performances.
Direction:
This is one of Abbas-Mustan’s finest work to date.They handled every frame beautifully.
Music:
Himesh’s music fit with the narrative.
All in all a wonderful film.The movie starts like a normal Bollywood flick then you’re at the edge of your seat at intermission, and you’re shocked at the climax.But I won’t give the ending away.
9.5/10
