Bollywood: slapstick, martial arts, music, & mayhem
by lucroe
Bollywood, martial arts, slapstick comedy, love story: these are all words to describe the over the top Hindi movie that is Chandni Chowk to China. A small village in China is terrorized by an evil smuggler named Hojo. While in India, two of the villagers mistake the bumbling Sidhu (Kumar, Akshay) for the reincarnation of their beloved war hero, and convince him (with the help of conman, Chopstick) to go back to the village with them. What Sidhu does not realize is they expect him to kill the nearly indestructible Hojo. Hojo eventually hears about this 'great warrior' and sends the beautiful female assassin, Meow Meow to hunt him down. What she does not know is Hojo tried to kill her father, another great warrior, and she has a twin sister, for whom the bumbling Sidhu is madly in love with! And that is not even the whole story! Mayhem ensues, dance numbers abound, and love does prevail :) To see a list of some of the Bollywood movies, music, and books about Bollywood the library owns, click here.
