What a waste of my time. During the entire film, I kept thinking when is this going to get interesting? Chandni Chowk to China is a huge disappointment. Hopes were riding high on khiladi number one Akshay Kumar, but unfortunately he was not able to keep the ‘hit film’ momentum going with Chandni Chowk to China.

The only good part of the film was watching Deepika Padukone in two different avatars, but that’s about it.

The film is about Akshay’s character who has a total lack of confidence. The first part was extremely boring. I couldn’t figure out if I am supposed to be interested or going to sleep. The character’s silliness and lack of confidence was stretched out unnecessarily to the point of being really annoying. The second part, after the intermission, was actually better than the first half with Akshay’s character finally getting off his butt and doing something. So for those of you who walked out before the intermission, you actually missed the bearable part of the film! (I know that is pretty pathetic).

Basically the script was lacking and the film was stretched on beyond what was necessary. Half of the first part of the movie could have easily been chopped. I can’t even bother getting into names of characters and so forth because it is almost pointless!

The music was disappointing as well, not living up to Akshay and Deepika standards of previous films. That said, I don’t think we can blame the actors for this failure. The script really sucked, and they really should have cut out a lot of scenes that were simply a waste of time.

Verdict: Don’t even bother watching on DVD.
