'Chandni Chowk to China' movie review

Did you like ’Kung Fu Panda’?If you did so, then I guess you’ll also like this movie since the plots are very similar.Many of the MS members didn’t find sense in this movie.If one thinks, they will realise that the aforementioned animated movie is converted into CC2C, with the same silly gags.I took this movie from the very beginning as a fun-cartoonish sort of movie & that’s why I’ve enjoyed it.


Sidhu(Akshay Kumar) is a cook in Chandni Chowk.He believes that he’s made for bigger tasks than just cutting veggies & seeks out every fortune teller in his place to find out his ’true destiny’.His mentor, Dada(Mithun Chakravarthy) can’t seem to make him understand as to not to follow the guidance of Chopstick(Ranvir Shorey)-Sidhu’s unnoficial ’Chinese’ guru.Two villagers from their hometown in China are convinced that Sidhu is Liu Sheng, their heroic Chinese warrior reborn.Chopstick lies to Sidhu in convincing him to go to China & Sidhu does so, to Dada’s dismay.Joining them on their adventure is Sakhi(Deepika Padukone) otherwise known as Miss TSM(a telebrand-like pun which makes really cool gadgets), who has her own reasons for going to China.Unintentionally, their paths cross with the bad guy, Hojo(Gordon Liu) & what follows is the basic plot of CC2C.


Again, think ’Kung Fu Panda’ & the whole silly plot will make sense to you.There are flaws obviously, but if you take this as a commercial masala movie, it’s , uch better.The entire cast are in tune with each other, although Gordon Liu is made poor use of.For being a great icon, Gordon Liu can do much more than what the filmakers have made him do.He is a killer Kung-Fu artiste, who has no necessity to kill people with his hat.Akshay is funny as the simple Sidhu, while Deepika is easy on the eyes, both as Sakhi & the danger-lady Meow Meow.The music while good, is heard very less of.There is just seemingly one, dance song while the romantic one lasts for about five minutes.Another thing is with the Chinese man speaking Hindi.I did understand that he was married to an Indian.But why speak Hindi proverbs?At least a little bit of English would’ve seemed believable.The gadgets Deepika uses are out of this world, but if 007 has them, so can Bollywood heroines.It’s a 3 hour film, but I never noticed the time passing by.


If you don’t like masala movies, you should seriously skip this one.
