Chandni Chowk to China is the first major release of this Year. There are great expectations from this movie, especially from Akshay fans when Aamir and shahrukh have given blockbusters in last one month, To start with Akshay Kumar's Chandni Chowk to China is no Singh is King. It is much better that what we saw in Singh is King.

The movie revolves around Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) who lives in chandni chowk area of Old Delhi, and has dreams of becoming big. He follows every advise of his guru ji Chopstick(Ranvir Shorey). so when two chinese come to india in search of their old dead leader, guru ji Chopstick makes them beleive akshay is the Reincarnation of their Dead leader.


Story revolves around this, how Sidhu goes to china not knowing he has been taken there to kill the gangster HOJO(Roger Yuan). Anyways i won't go in details of the movie, Overall as Akshay Kumar told Amitabh Bachchan to leave his mind at home before coming to watch CC2C, you can do that also.. but what works for Chandni Chowk to china is the perfection of each and every shot. There are no loopholes as there were in Singh is Kingg, which was just a Non Sense Laughter ride, this one has a good unique story line. Pace of the movie is good too, and you never think the movie is stretching except one or two scenes.

Akshay excel in comic Parts, every now and then there will laugh riots in the theatre, as Akshay throws some punch line in his desi accent. He has retained the look of the character in the whole movie, something which was missing in Singh is king. From start to end of the movie you see the same Akshay Kumar (sidhu from chandni chowk). there are no dramatic changes, except his fighting skills. Akshay could have done much better in emotional front, but that has never been his expertise, so there was not much disappointment in that regard. The fight sequences by Akshay are not over the top, and one (who has followed martial arts movies) can relate to those action sequences.

Ranvir shorey has done a good job as Guru ji and shares good part of screen space in the whole movie.

Talking about the leading lady Deepika Padukone, firs of all thank god nikhil advani didn't go with Katrina Kai for this movie, cause Deepika is pretty as well as can act unlike Katrina :) (no hard feelings kat, we still love u). The Martial Kung fu fight done by Deepika Padukone will amaze many viewers, never in my life i have ever seen a Bollywood actress doing a fight scene with such perfection and it looked all real. Credit for which goes to Deepika Padukone's hard work and Action director of the movie. Deepika has very few dialogues, but whenever she comes on screen you don't miss Katrina she is as adorable as katrina but has better facial expression than her. Certainly a star in the making.

Roger yuan as Police inspector Chiang is the one to look out in the movie. He is very important part of the movie as he holds the middle and climax of movie and speaks in hindi in most of the movie with real perfection. Hopefully we will see a lot of this talented actor in future in Bollywood.

There are no unwanted songs, Chandni Chowk to China has an excellent theme and Cinematography. Naam hai sidhu keeps on playing in the background for the whole movie. India se aaya mera dost is ok types. Chinese Cores music has been used to a very good extent and works well in the background.

Only negative point I could see was the authority of gangster HOJO, the character is not very weel explained.

Action sequences are great, they look good to your eyes. Most of the movie is shot in China, and you see only 4 Indian faces in the whole movies (Akshay, Deepika, Ranvit and Mithun). All other leads are of Bhinese decent, another thing which shows that this movie is made for audience of the world not for Bollywood audience only.

This was the first venture of Warner Bros in India, and they have made sure that Nikhil Advani has enough funds to shot every scene to perfection. Overall a freat start to Year 2009, a must watch movie for any Bollywood Movies Fan. A sure shot Block Buster which might break Ghajini's record seeing what Singh is King did last year.

This one is a Winner all the Way

Rating **** / 5

  1. Saw this today at a special screening. I really loved the movie. The action sequences are the best I've ever seen in an Indian movie. No one except Akshay Kumar could have pulled this off. I think he has finally arrived outside of comedy with this movie, although he has a lot of comic moments too. Deepika is good too. It was good to see a heroine doing more than just looking pretty and singing songs. She really did a good job. But I loved Gordon Liu more than anything. He is pure evil. Great to see the master back in action. My complaint with the movie was the ending... it could have been longer and I would have liked to see more action but overall I liked what they did with the story. They had a plot and did something with it. The songs are well shot and not much of a hindrance. The movie is a visual extravaganza.
    Overall a terrific entertainer.
    9/10

  2. The audience was mainly laughing a lot throughout the movie. I think kids will love this film a whole lot. Its very clean with no vulgarity or double meaning jokes etc. It has a lot of slapstick right at the beginning but the opening sequence & other action sequences are breathtaking. For the first 10 mins, i was thinking... oh here we go again... but then the story really takes off and is interspersed with some spectacular fight sequences. Deepika's entry scene in China really stood out. My favorite scene was Akshay having just trained in kung fu fighting a bunch of goons where diamonds are being smuggled. That really felt like an English film. There are some special fx in places but they're well done. A lot like kung fu hustle which this movie is like. I keep thinking the end could have been better but the audience seemed to enjoy it. Also I love the song tere naina but its there for only a minute or so which kinda bugged me. I think I'll watch this again for the action though. I still can't believe they pulled off the kung fu sequences.

  4. Hi friends, Sorry to say but i completely disagree with your views. I am also a fan of Akshay but found the movie much below his own set standards.

  5. Shit !

    This movie really was bad..
    I haven't seen such a bad movie in years.. if you leave karz and aap ka surror out .. ohh yea not to forget SIK which was a lit bit good..

    BTW i'm shocked to read this review..
    This review is kind of fake for me.. it is not 4/5 stars.. this movie is 1.5/5 stars..
    Total Nonsense..
    when will film makers believe that Indian Audience has got a brain..? and can decide where to laugh and where to not?..

    Can I have my money back?

  8. I think the reviewer is being paid from the producers. The movie sucks. Its all crappy fully of silly comedy. Bound to be a definite FLOP! Only if this review is read by many ppl(which won't be happening) which will take the audience to the theatres.Whats wrong with u guys? The movie is a big disappointment.

    1/5

  9. Leave Ghajini, Lets see if it breaks the records of SINGH is KING!

  10. Hi,

    i am not being paid by anyone.. more then 3000 people have read this review.

    The review is my perception, and i think you should also appreciate the effort made by everyone in the movie.

    Compare Tashan with CC2C and you will see a much better screenplay and storyline. They could have made it little serious at the end of the movie.

    Rest everyone should watch it once, to know the Expansion of bollywood beyond Love Triangles and stupid Family Drama's

  11. i think the guy who wrote this review is is
    1)being paid by the producers
    OR
    2)really REALLY likes bollywood movies
    OR
    3)was smoking crack when he saw the movie..

    cos there is NO WAY this movie is worth spending rs.150(or 5 dollars) on...maybe renting out the dvd when it comes out would make sense..but this movie is close to unwatchable in theaters..the first half was bad...BAD!!!..heck even SIK looks like casablanca compared to this..
    avoid in theaters AT ALL COST!!!
    be smart...rent the DVD when it comes out
    that way at at least u can skip the bad parts...

  18. MUST READ COMPLETE: Full marks to AKSHAY...till now only SRK managed to make crores without having story & script. But AKSHAY beats SRK as CC2C has bad scripted stroy, repetitive comedy & even bad music (except rap song), and still manages to rope 21 crores in its 1st weekend. +ive points are action scenes of sidhu & miao and one best comic timing of typical AKSHAY in aeroplane. AKSHAY please dont disappoint me in Kambakht Ishq ... as I m also chandni chowk born dude...

  19. I thought Drona is the worst...but CC2C and Akshay has proved me wrong.... the second worst movie i have ever seen after drona...
    Deepika was absolute rubbish in the movie.... can't act.. God knows why ppl call her a star... these ppl think tht by promoting the movies n cuming to the reality shows... n repeating the same old rubbish will help thm if they are intending to show us tht horrifying....

    ReplyDelete
  20. Damn pathetic movie - I left the cinema hall before second half started. How can anyone call Aksay a star, every movie he does the same acting - rite fron hera pheri to CC2C - damn he was good as a cook.

    Anyways very boring movie - dont waste your money

  21. SRK IS THE KING. AKKI IS PIECE OF TRASH

  22. Drona is now second to CC2C.Nikhil Advvani stop making movies. try some other profession.

  23. the thing is CC2C is a crap movie… but I will not blame akshay in any way…. i think he is a v versetile actor and a natural comedian…. 1000 better than SRK … so there is no comparision…
    SRK only choses big banners like yash and Aditya chopra, karan johar… n akshay however is on a diff. pace…
    he only needs to make sum right choices.. thts all.. and an actor who has given so many hits to India should not be let down by public just coz of one flop…. hits n flops r the part of journey.. but i hope he has learnt the lesson now…
    n plz there is no comparision b/w hollywood movie n CC2C.. the action was childish and the jokes were literally vulgar.. c the movie if u dunno wht i m talking abt….

    ReplyDelete
  24. we all like to watch comedy… after watching serious movies like Ghajhni and Rnbdj…. but that does not mean that we keep our mindd close while watching and laugh on stupid scenes which dun make any sense atall….
    i was literally waiting for a good sensable comedy movie … but after watching CC2C i can definetly say that bollywood has not got in them anymore…
    ghajini is a v serious movie but the way it was made.. i feel like watching it again and again…. even though its a remake it has made its own mark.. and its an all time blockbuster movie..

  25. Reviewer should not be allowed to write review again. Bad movie

  26. I like akshay and I respect his body of work… but plz Aamir is such a versetile actor.. he is 100% in comedy n 100% when he does romantic movies// not sure abt action as he hasnt dun much… but what ever he does he does to a perfection….which an actor should do..
    its upto us who we think our supertstar is.. but sumtimes its a shame to see ppl who dunt deserve this title gets it… but a true and deserving artist doesnt/…… n i m not only taking abt akshay there are other so called superstars.. who just charge millions n millions from our money for which we do hardwork….. n show us the crap.. n there are still sum idiots in this world who are happy to waste there money on those ppl . n call them their god……
    these ppl are just humans like us….. we dun respect n luv other profession as much as we do them…… plz bring them on ground n dun call them superstars…

  27. This is the worse movie I have ever seen.
    It will go down as the worst film ever made in Indian history. The film is not just disappointing and amateurish but offends one's sensibility as well.
