Featured reviews
Well I don't care if people bash and hate this movie....I just thought it was very good. I'm a fan of Gordon Liu and Akshay Kumar. my family enjoyed this movie and I repeat, we aren't even Hindi/Indian, white, or Chinese. So boo ya if ya didn't like this movie. I know that Akshay has a background in martial arts and to see him in action and comedy was all that matters. I thought Deepika was very pretty as Suzy That roger guy who plays the dad was awesome too! Gawd I hate people who are always so negative about a movie. even if some scenes were kind of dumb, I didn't mind. The critics and the haters just nag and nag about the film and the director. so what? there are some bad directors out there, we get it now. But there were some good scenes about believing in yourself or sumthing like that. and i absolutely laughed at the potato worship. I'm not even Hindi or Chinese and I understood this film more than the losers who degraded it. Yeah there were some cheesy scenes, bad choice of music, and stuff but overall I looked beyond that and had enjoyed the movie.
I just saw the movie and i was surprised to read the reviews here. I don't know what the problem was, when i go to the movies, i want to be entertained, and I was. Even though the story wasn't believable, even though the action sequence weren't realistic. If that is the standard nowadays, most of the movies made can go straight to the trashcan (Superhero movies, horrors etc.)
What did the movie have for me. Some really good laughs (hey, give me some candy and call me a kid, if the jokes were to childish), I love Akshay Kumar and his humor. A beautiful girl, Deepika Padukone and some nice action scenes. Nearing the end, I didn't like some of the emotional scenes.
If you liked movies like Namastey London, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Singh Is Kinng then you'll like this one as well, and I encourage you to go and watch this one. If you are one of the other people who want a believable story, realistic action scenes, sophisticated humor etc. I suggest you don't watch movies at all!

I am a great fan of Akshay Kumar. I booked the tickets for the 1st paid premier show for this movie. But I was seriously disappointed.
Comedy scenes wont make you laugh, by the time action scenes come u wont be interested. The movie doesn't excite you much and doesn't do anything to keep the audience glued to their seats. Their is no suspense, Deepika Padukone doesn't help either. Spoils the excitement as and when she appears on the screen. Their was so much fuss about the action scenes involving her, but those scenes has already been shown in all the trailers. The movie is very predictable. Very stupid at times.
I will recommend this movie only if u don't have to pay for it and you have a lot of spare time.
They are already planing a sequel. God bless the producers.

This is probably the first attempt at combining a kung-fu movie with a musical. Although it's a bizarre combination, it could actually work if done right, but this movie however fails in many ways. The plot was silly and incoherent, the melodrama and comedy was over-the-top, and the movie was too long to top it off.
However, I did find some of the comedy scenes quite hilarious and the action scenes were also quite good in an over-the-top kind of way (like "Kung-Fu Hustle"). I would have given this movie a lower score, but it does at least have a few saving graces in its action and comedy, and it can be quite enjoyable if one is willing to suspend all disbelief. However, I would only recommend this movie if you are a fan of both Bollywood musicals and Kung-Fu movies.
5/10

I think Chandi Chowk to China is a great film and it is fun to watch. I don't understand why most people don't like it but for me, the film was great! Akshay Kumar is just funny as hell in this film, playing his character Sidhu is just lol. I think he acted very well.
Deepika Padukone is lovely as ever! Playing a double role again (First being (Om Shanti Om) she was great. I liked her character Meow Meow, i think that it is a cool name and a very cool character. Her action scenes at the airport was fantastic. She looked great in all her costumes and her hair/ make-up was very beautiful! Her other character was also funny Ms. TSM.
Dada was great same as the other star cast in the film.
The songs in CC2C was funny. I love the title track Chandi Chowkt to China and Tere Naine (The sky song)...
Overall this film is a great watch! My rating for Chandi Chowk to China: 7/10

- TriviaThis is the first film where the Chinese government has allowed a fight to be shot on the Great Wall.
- GoofsTowards the beginning of the film the narrator mentions that the 'The Great Wall of China" is the only man made object visible from Space. However, it has been scientifically proven that for a human being to be able to see "The Great Wall of China" from Space a resolution of 7.7 times better than normal vision would be required, making that statement an impossibility
- Alternate versionsThe shot of Hojo urinating on the face of Sidhu has been removed from the international version.
