Slapstick comedy, but the jokes are stale.
If the director Nikhil Advani has called this an "illogical, mad film" we know what to expect. However, even if one expects nothing more than a mad illogical film, Chandni Chowk To China is disappointing. A mad film can carry itself along if it is tumultuous enough and funny enough, but this one isn't.
As dumb as it gets
Here’s a chop-suey with desi tadka. Karate with some dhobi patak wrestling. But this cocktail called Chandni Chowk To China turns out to be utter mess. The movie, mind you, is not an out-and-out comedy. It see-saws between being slapstick and weepy, and also has a generous smattering of ouch-ing tiger and hideous dragon. Hui ha!…shi shu!…chi!. God, what’s happening to me!
Kung Fu Curry!
Chandni Chowk to China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a madcap
journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi, to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China,
marrying in its wake hilarious gags, breathtaking action, spectacular locations and heart stirring
emotions.
Mildly entertaining in its best moments.
Chandni Chowk To China is more a patchily-executed combo of a desi Kung Fu Panda, and Karate Kid, than an exhilarating transcontinental journey. It's spiked with a Manmohan Desai-ish lost-and-found side plot. It also lifts from chop-suckey Hong Kong clunkers where the hero mows down a million bad guys, sending them flying through the air in familiar choreographed arcs. Where is this film, a lax mish-mash of genres and styles, coming from?
