I would say, they should have thought of this movie little earlier. some where during the release of Sholay! 70’s or 80’s:-). The story line is atleast that much old. though we have some latest Chinese ideas(dancing anklets, ipod translator, bullet proof multi-purpose umbrella) …
There is humor. I could not stop laughing … where in the flight. he tries hard to lock the cabin door(lol)…
The last few minutes were also good, I was thinking, he should have used the dancing anklets instead of the Hat to kill him…
Akshay as always. extraordinary… Deepika is hot… songs were good.
If I were also born in China(which I’m not); or read the subtitles(in movie)… I could have written little more.
PLOT:
Sidhu(Akshay Kumar) is a lowly vegetable cutter at a roadside food stall in the Chandni Chowk section of Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts with astrologers, tarot card readers, and fake fakirs, refusing to believe in himself despite his foster father Dada’s(Mithun Chakravorty) best efforts. His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take 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).
Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick. At the chineese embassy he meets Sakhi(Deepika Padukone), the Indian-Chinese spokesmodel known as Ms. Tele Shoppers Media, or Ms. TSM, who makes a fool of him and takes his number in the queue. Suzy embarked on a journey to the land of her birth and her presumed-dead father and twin sister Suzy. At a point they are all at the same place but are not able to see each other. Suzy, also known as the femme fatale Meow Meow(also played by Padukone) works for Hojo, not knowing Hojo tried to kill her father. Sidhu, through a series of lucky coincidences, initially manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo’s men, but Hojo eventually catches up with him and exposes him as the buffoon he really is. Hojo kills Dada, and throw disgraced Sidhu, who he but caught by Chiang. He encounters an amnesiac vagrant who turns out to be former Police Chief Chiang, the father of Sakhi and Suzy. Chiang recovers his memory, with his Kung Fu skills still intact. He takes Sidhu on as his apprentice, and after months of training, Sidhu sets off to defeat Hojo, free the village, reunite the sisters, and win Sakhi’s love.
