Chandini Chowk to China Review

Date seen: 19-01-2008

rating 2.5/5

Cast Akshay Kumar and Deepika

Director Nikhil Advani

Nikhil Advani’s barmy musical Chandni Chowk to China is the very first Bollywood kung fu action comedy — an inspired mating of the biggest box-office draws in Asian cinema, the Bollywood romance and the old-fashioned Hong Kong martial arts movie. The fact that Advani ends up with a two-and-a-half hour Adam Sandler movie is horrifying.
Chandni Chowk is so thoroughly absurd I can hardly bring myself to describe it. Akshay Kumar (India’s Sandler) is a humble potato peeler in a backstreet stall in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. His father boots him in the backside for being an idiot and he lands two miles away in front of a pair of Chinese tourists who think he is the reincarnated soul of a Chinese warrior god. The hapless clown is duly whisked off to a peasant village in China where he is expected to save the locals from a ruthless psycho, Hojo (Gordon Liu), who decapitates people with a bowler hat
