August 26, 2010Absolutely hilarious! Sidhu is a faithful cook in his uncle's food stand, and is always trying to make the best with whatever luck he has. Even if improving his place in life, he rarely gives up. Along with his faithful companion Chopsticks, Sidhu must travel to China to help ... read more

July 10, 2009My first experience with Bollywood cinema, this is a crazy blend of action, comedy and of course the large dance numbers I've always heard about.
I really liked this film a lot, hell I even bought it the day after sending back the rental copy, so that says a lot.
Give it a look... read more -
January 29, 2009If you like Akshay Kumar, as I do, you will enjoy the movie. The movie sets its intentional WTF tone quite early (e.g. with Mithun's kicks throwing Akshay all around Delhi). Once you get the tone, it's a fun ride all the way to the end. Well-done references to old songs and movie... read more

January 16, 2009Let's just say that the trailer is better than the film by a very very long shot. At best, it is an attempt to recapture the lost magic of early 1980s Manmohan Desai-style masala potboilers in an exotic setting. But this much-too-long mix of kung-fu, slapstick and high-drama- ye... read more

Chandni Chowk to China is Bollywood's all-singing, all-dancing, all-Hindi bid to conquer America. Full Review

Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News
Chandni Chowk isn't going to appeal to those not already entertained by Bollywood and kung-fu movie clichés. But it could turn the charismatic Kumar into a global star, making the prescribed happy end...

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Chandni has martial- arts montages and Bollywood song-and-dance numbers. As tacky as the latter are, they're the sweet -- and only? -- draw of the movie. They also give this slight comedy-adventure it... Full Review

If Chandni Chowk to China were a person, it would need Valium. Full Review

In fact, at two hours and 34 minutes, CC2C is too much by a half: too much dancing and fighting and too much footage of the Great Wall of China. Full Review

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Sold as a groundbreaking convergence of Asia's leading cinematic influences -- kung fu flicks and Bollywood extravaganzas -- it can only be termed genre-mashup overkill. Full Review
January 16, 2009
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Think of the title of this Bollywood/martial-arts mashup as a riff on North by Northwest. And like that preeminent American entertainment, CC2C is stylish, slick and full of fun. Full Review

Chandi Chowk is fun but somewhat exhausting, with several elaborate production numbers, a bullet-proof umbrella that also serves as a parachute, a magical potato -- plus a running time just over 2 1/2... Full Review

To appreciate this scenic spectacle requires a leap of faith that will test even die-hard Bollywood fans. Full Review
