Chandni Chowk to China Reviews

I can still count the number of Bollywood movies I've seen on one hand (KRRISH, the two Ramsay brothers horror movies in the Bollywood Horror Collection, and CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA) and this is the only one I just plain like completely. I even liked the musical bits because they felt like they were part of the story.

While watching I noted that the filmmakers had obviously watched SHAOLIN SOCCER and KUNG FU HUSTLE. A lot. Even thought I recognized a music cue from SHAOLIN SOCCER. My friend and I agreed that there was probably a little too much wire work (or as I suggested, the problem was that there was too much CROUCHING TIGER wire work and not enough Shaw Bros/'80's ZU WARRIOR type wire work). Didn't think they overplayed the cgi though. Otherwise the fights were all satisfactory, the pseudo drunken style being one of the highlights.

I was off on my ' HK martial arts comedy inspired by Drunken Master' prediction', though there was a bit of that, especially during the training sequence. I thought the Ganesh potatoe gag was amusing and found Sidhu's...well let's just say he's not the sharpest arrow in the quiver. I thought the ending had a CRAZY SAFARI touch, but I could be reading too much into it.

Definitely worth catching if you can. I want one of those umbrellas.
