Bollywood Film Reviews with Manish Gajjar <\/h3>\n
\"\"Directed by: Nikhil Advani

\nCast: Akshay Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, Attaul Awal Hamid, Deepika Padukone<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) lives a deprived existence cutting vegetables at a roadside food stall in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk. Always dreaming for a better future, Sidhu resorts to the likes of astrologers and tarot card readers for a better living.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

His moment comes when two Chinese strangers claim him as a reincarnation of a past war hero and take him to China. And so begins Sidhu’s dream of wine, women, and a princely existence in a foreign land.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But thanks to the devious translator Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the promised land to rid the Chinese village of a vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

On the way to China he comes across Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), who is returning home to pay respect to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Through a series of lucky coincidences Sidhu manages to escape Hojo’s men. Eventually Hojo catches up with him and Sidhu is exposed as the country greatest buffoon. But a revengeful Sidhu finds the one man who can train him as a kung fu expert and manages to set the village free.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Chandni Chowk To China is directed by Nikhil Advani who made Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love (2007) and Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003).<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The film is said to have been inspired by Akshay Kumar’s own life story, in which martial arts plays a major part. Akshay had to undergo full training in Wushu – a form of martial art – for this movie.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Veteran actor, Mithun Chakraborty who was last seen in Guru (2007) will play also an important role in this action comedy.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The movie is produced by Ramesh Sippy Entertainment and Orion Pictures.<\/div>\n
