The trouble with Chandni Chowk to China (CC2C) is its story that barely traces the transition of a vegetable chopper from Chandni Chowk to China to the Great Wall of China, where he is mistaken as a lost messiah, Liu Sheng.
It begins with Sidhu (Akshay Kumar),a poor simpleton who chops vegetables at a roadside restaurant in Chandni Chowk owned by guardian-father Dada (Mithun Chakraborthy) Sidhu regularly seeks astrologers, including Chopstick (Ranvir Sheorey) who claims to practise Fend-Shastra, a marriage of Feng-Shui and Vaastu-Shaastra. Meanwhile, two men from China claim that Sidhu is actually an old warrior, reborn to take revenge on the evil Hojo (Gordon Liu). Chopstick tricks Sidhu and they both embark on a mission to the Great Wall.
On the way, they bump into Sakhi (Deepika Padukone) who is also travelling to China to pay homage to her parents and a twin sister that were killed by Hojo. Turns out that Sakhi’s father, Inspector Chiang Kohung (Roger Yuan) is alive, a madman living amongst the Great Wall, and her twin sister Suzy is a thief who works for Hojo, not knowing that it was he who ‘killed’ her father. Meanwhile, Hojo confronts Sidhu and decapitates Dada, leaving our protagonist blood-thirsty, seeking revenge.
On the one hand, the story rambles incoherently. On the other, there is no emotional connect with any of the characters, unlike Akshay’s earlier comic acts.
The movie clearly rides on the Akshay Kumar’s enthusiasm whether its stunts or the pity and laughter-evoking lines. But Deepika looks lost for most of the film.
Good Luck for Box Office Collections
