Perfectly adorable

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Its way past the box office time, so this review is for buying DVD and watching it on TV.Okay everyone, people say this film was bad but my friend said it wasn't. I didn't listen to her and didn't watch the film, but realized my mistake after watching it on TV.I don't need to type the synopsis, I'll just write my opinion to it. Here's what my point of view says:- Their work - FIRST Indian martial arts film. I say it was well presented and a fresh idea. They shoot in China, used REAL Chinese (not stupid fake characters like in some movies) and good actors. Very impressive action scenes.Story idea - As said, fresh idea. I really liked the theme. The reason why this film have flopped might be that the story is not very new and some things aren't too. BUT the only overused Martial arts theme typically are of some cop who fights a drug dealer or gangster as revenge for his family or something, this is similar too but not completely. Slapstick comedies, some hard parts and few might look meaningless, but as long its entertainment. But do blend together well and is fine as long you cut stupid things.Acting - Akshay is good and maintains his comedy like always. I really liked Deepika in this film. She has a double roll (not a spoiler), and I personally liked the 2nd character she played. There's Ranvir Shorey who's fine and some unknown Chinese actors who're actually good.Music - Minimal songs but catchy enough. Songs "From Chandi Chowk to China", "Tere Naina", "Sidhu theme" and "Fatte Chak Lende" are energetic and probably the only used songs and have good timings.Direction - I don't know this director, but I don't find him bad. I don't why this film completely flopped. If 'Dhamaal' was a hit, then I supposed it to be at least an average grosser.Verdict - 6 out of 10. Why? Because this isn't a serious film and 7+ ratings are for really meaningful ones. 6 is just fine and its good.My opinion - I have seen this film like 5-6 times on TV and I always think what was that bad. If you're a fan of Akshay, Deepika, Martial Arts or just want a time-pass film, this is good for Home Video or even watching on internet. But AT LEAST watchable.

I can't believe the low ratings this movie has gotten! My girlfriend and I just watched it and we loved it. Sure, it's incredibly cheesy and silly and over-the-top, but you can pretty much tell that from the cover and the entire basic premise of it, so anyone who isn't looking for something completely ridiculous should have known better than to watch it in the first place. I mean, come on. Bollywood martial arts movie! Was anyone really expecting high art? For what it was - a completely silly, campy, somewhat insane piece of fluff - it was really pretty awesome. Tremendously entertaining, with some great comedy, cool fight scenes (though it took a while to get to them - my only real complaint is that it was longer than it really needed to be), enjoyable music and dance scenes, and even something resembling an actual plot. Maybe you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy it, but if you are, it's a ton of fun and I'd highly recommend it.

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!

Well, cutting the long story short C2C is a big downer. And mind you Mr. Akshay Kumar saw this shaping up and put a disclaimer "C2C is a no- brainer" even before the movie hit the screens. Akshay Kumar:: Its sad to see the lows Akshay Kumar is seeing after his success streak. I hope he is wise enough to see that he is another Govinda in the making. Deepika:: There was no need for the twin, IMO. And yes, it seems a lot of effort has been put in for getting the authentic look for the Chinese twin. Mithun Da:: Very bad role.Akshay Kumar's training:: Seems to inspired from Remo.Plot is full of craters. And the action and comedy don't fill up big sizes. Too much of Chinese characters/ dialogues & references work against the movie. And hey - all the chinks looked the same. So it was even more difficult to distinguish the good guy from the bad. And the narration didn't help either.Warner Bros have been taken for a jolly good ride. I am sure they haven't lost the lesson they have learnt after loosing the moolah.Ramesh Sippy:: Another Sholay, Shaan or Shakti? Forget it. Its better to be in sabbatical and not further taint existing reputation.Nikhil Advani:: Well face it Sir... SEI wasn't great shakes and C2C "is" a disaster. Hope you are not competing against yourself to deliver a bigger flop. Kal Ho Na Ho should perhaps be attributed to Karan Johar pulling the strings in the background eh? Given KJo's reputation at the moment, you should beg to get back into his camp (even if it takes you to get down on all fours!).
