Kya Aap Dance Nahin Kar Sakte…
Kya aap ke dance karne ke se sab log door bhagte hain …. Agar haan!
Toh aapke liye aagaya hain DANCEMASTER G9! Issi paaro mein baandte hi aapke paaro mein jaadoo aajayega. Saarah jahan aapke dance ka deewana ho gayega“
ABHI ORDER KIJEYE……
Miss TSM says “Thank you Dance Master G9”
The infomercial is one of the many Chinese Brands parody which is used in the film beautifully sometimes for comedy! And conveniently sometimes for Chinese to hindi translations and as life saving parachutes etc. One being downright hilarious and the other being downright obnoxious!
In fact the entire movie follows the same pattern and swings between being hilarious and obnoxious many times!
*If Goofy and slapstick comedy are not your bowl of soup. find another food joint!
If Jackie Chan movies ain't the type of noodles you like to eat. find another daaba!
Because CC2C brings to bollywood the Chinese Martial Arts movie formula.
The Master Teacher - disciple story, with Revenge as its plot, and the rest of it filled with slapstick humor and mindblowing action! Where it fails is when it combines it to Indian style 1970's masala.
The movie opens impressivelyThe GREAT WALL OF CHINA…A Chinese warrior(Liu Shang) is fighting till his death while he while defending the nation.
Present day Village in China is now under the mercy of the An Evil Villan(Hoojo). One of the astrologer who tell these villagers that the great warrior Liu Shang is reborn in India. They decide to go to India and get this Indian to China hoping that he will be the one to conquer Hoko.
Cut to – INDIA, No sorry, Cut to – Delhi… Chandni Chowk! No even better Cut to – APNA Hero…. S – I – D – H – U! Looking at an ALLU…. Very carefully, after warning the ALLU about how dangerous he is, he throws it in the air, Takes the knife and with Swift hands seem like cutting through the allu! But BOOM the allu falls flat the knife hasn’t touched it!
This is Sidhu a simpleton, who belives his destiny is beyond Chandini Chowk and seeks faith right from pseudo Feng Shui meets Vaastu Shashtra expert who calls himself Chopstick to a simple allu looking which appears to him as Lord Ganesh!
He has faith in all apart from himself much to the disappointment of his DADA who loves him to the core… but always tells him that our destiny is in our hands!
The villagers come to get SIDHU! So that he can kill HOJO and thus free them! The only translator to be found is Chopstick The Devil side of Chopstick decides to have a free trip of China and hence cons Sidhu in believing that he is a reincarnation of a KING and he should go to China! Poor Sidhu has no idea what is expected of him and gets conned easily and thus goes from ‘Chandni Chowk to China’ and the title track starts playing!
Till here the movie teases you with its potential, a universal storyline… universal starcast… loads of comedy potential, 2 diverse cultures! Visual brilliance… I mean the works!
But what follows from then on is a half baked Chinese Martial Arts thriller meeting a half baked Indian Masala flim!
With things like twin sisters being separated story, 1 being the evil and the other being the nicer one!
A beggar who turns the typical supercool Kung fu master with a backstory which gives ‘Cinematic Liberty’ a whole new meaning!
An entire story about Father Daughters family reunion!
A chase sequence which ends with the hero and heroine falling of a building right into a song
A Diamond Smuggling, Opera Watching Villain who does nothing apart from cutting peoples throat at a drop of a hat.(I mean it quite literally here) who then finally falls to Bawarchi Skills of our hero Sidhu…,
and then there is SIDHU, What can I say about this guy… Akshay Kumar, What a STAR! It’s true that he might not be as big as SRK or Amir, but one just wonders with good directors and good story and he will be bigger than anyone, Check out his last 3 films… Singh is king, Tashan, Welcome – all 3 badly written, but box office result. 1 flop the other 2 Blockbusters…
It is true I am not an AK fan, but truth be told if it wasn’t for Akshay kumar you wouldn’t even sit through half an hour of the film,The movie has some of the crappiest scenes ever written but the way Akshay Kumar pulls off scene after scene… is INCREDIBLE…
The Dadooo Hojoo scene…
the Visa Consulate dance scene,
the Ganapthy bapaa scene.
The training sequence.Akshay Kumar Delivers…
All in all it is a bad film which keeps falling to new depts reel after reel. but AK’s magnetism lifts the whole movie into a whole new different level… and thus makes it fall inthe average movie category!
When the movie ended I was left with the feeling that had the Statue of Lui Shang feel on Nikhil Advani and his writer instead of the villan, it could have be a much better ending and since it doesn’t my new mission unlike Akshay’s Dado Hoojo is ‘DADO Nikhil Advani…’
