MOVIE  REVIEW

I saw the movie in Satyam theatre my 120 rupees are waste the movie is not good. Even though Advani and his writer Shridhar Raghavan in an attempt to give us a full on entertainer sacrificed logic, plausibility, characterisation and even coherence. Chandni Chowk to China is not as much good.  Since the movie is produced by Rohan Sippy, the twist inevitably echoes Sippy’s classic Sholay and also brings in an identical twins separated at birth angle from Seeta Aur Geeta.So, we have a Ramgarah-type village, only this one is in China, terrorized by the mega villain Hojo. Two villagers land up in Chandni Chowk, where they mistake the bumbling cook Siddhu, (Akshay Kumar), to be a reincarnation of the great warrior Leu Shing.Siddhu, who desperately wants more out of life than just slicing potatoes, goes with them to China and gets thoroughly trashed by Hojo.

Meanwhile, there’s an angle of a mistaken identities with two Deepika Padukones  is a sweet, simple model and the other the not so sweet sister Meow Meow.

Eventually, Siddhu trains and unleashes his inner warrior, who imagines Hojo as a giant potato and decimates him. Akshay Kumar loved the visual of him in a Chinese outfit holding the seekh kabab style swords so much that he signed on.
