A cross between comedy and action movie Chandni Chowk to China is an attempt to make Akshay Kumar an Indian Jackie Chan. The plot is not original and it lacks in finer details. How come Sakhi escapes unhurt from Hojo's hideout though he knows that she is Meow Meow's twin sister? A laborer is slashed to death when he points a knife on Hojo's son. But the conspirators who bring Lui Sheng to China are not even threatened let alone killed or punished. Even after Meow Meow comes to know the truth about her father, Hojo lets her be in his gang,why doesn't he get rid of the enemy's daughter who is of no use to him?
Anyways, these are only minor glitches. If these points were to be taken care of, the movie would have been full of blood and gore and would have lost its comic touch.
Deepika Padukon has done some smashing action moves in Chandni Chowk to China. Beside that she doesn't have much to do, though she is in a double role. But she has once again showed that she is here to stay. Deepika Padukon has very expressive eyes,and she will be better suited for sad and tragic roles. Though she is apt at comedy too.
Chandni Chowk to China belongs to Akshay Kumar all the way. He is marvelous as Dhaba worker/Sabji cutter. He has already proved his comic abilities,I think he should be turned Comedy King. Govinda used to hold that title, but Akshay Kumar is a far better actor than Govinda and he has given us good, family entertainers unlike Govinda.
My husband rued the fact that only ten people had come to watch Chandni Chowk to China where as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi got a house full. He believed that Akshay Kumar is quite popular in UK.
But you can't compare Akshay Kumar with Shahrukh Khan overseas. He has got Indian as well as Pakistani supporters.
