What's its about: Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) chops veggies at a roadside eatery in Chandni Chowk under the watchful eye of dada (Mithun Chakraborty). Tired of working for a pittance, he is lured by Chopstick's (Ranvir Shorey) offer to visit China. For reasons unfathomable, a bunch of Chinese insist that Sidhu is the reincarnation of their slain hero and only he can save their village from evil Hojo (Gordon Liu). In China, Chopsticks and Sidhu keep running into Sakhi (Deepika Padukone) who models for cheesy commercials like a learn-how-to-dance ankle gadget, or a bullet-proof umbrella that's also a parachute. They bump into her at the Great Wall of China (!) when she's paying tearful tributes to her Chinese father and sister, who she believes were killed by Hojo.
And then, she magically transform into Kung-Fu expert Meow Meow! If you thought that was mindless, here's more. She has a twin who works with Hojo. So, all roads in China must now lead to dodo, oops, Hojo.u00a0
What's hot: Deepika's moves. Wow! Here's one girl who can kick and purr to perfection. Don't miss her two stylish looks Indian and Chinese.u00a0
What's not: The films lacks everything that a Bollywood hit should have the music is not worth all the hype, the storyline is utter nonsense with mumbo-jumbo passed off as Chinese andu00a0 the jokes are a desperate attempt to earn a chuckle.
Verdict: CC2C has earned its place at the Golden Turkey Awards. Stay away to stay sane.
