BollyHolly: Chandni Chowk To China Watch Movie Online Reviews

“Chandni Chowk,” the first Bollywood movie to be financed and distributed by Warner Brothers, starts too frantically but settles down to become an enjoyable.

Sidhu (Akshay Kumar), a petty cook from Chandni Chowk is lured by Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey) to China on the fake pretext that he's reincarnation of their legendary leader Liu Sheng. The Chinese community expects him to fight the fierce mafia kingpin Hojo (Gordon Liu).

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!

Sakhi (Deepika Padukone) is in search of her Chinese father and twin sister separated at birth.

The twin sister for some weird reason is called Meow Meow and happens to be Hojo's moll.

The father (Roger Yuan) has lost memory and is reduced to a ragpicker.

Hojo kills Sidhu's guardian Dada (Mithun Chakravarthy) who had picked Sidhu as an abandoned child from garbage bin. That's the trashy tale?

Expectedly Sidhu seeks revenge, father-daughter unite, ragpicker gains memory and trains Sidhu in Kung Fu pandemonium for the final combat with Hojo.

Primarily a revenge drama, Chandni Chowk to China seeks liberal references from both Indian and Chinese cinema. While the skeletal pattern of the storyline clearly coincides Rajkumar Santoshi's Ghatak, one can also envisage restructured fragments of Sholay (directed by this film's producer Ramesh Sippy) in several scenes.

Rating : 1.5/5

Suggestion : Good to watch if you have some extra bucks
