Chandni Chowk To China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a
madcap Journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi, to Shanghai, the
Great Wall and rural China, marrying in its wake hilarious gags, breathtaking
action, spectacular locations, and heart stirring emotions. Our protagonist
Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a
roadside food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary
existence and looks for shortcuts- with astrologers, tarot readers and fake
fakirs - believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun
Chakraborty) best efforts. His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from
China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and takes him to
China.
Sidhu now dreams of wine, women, and a princely
existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious
translator, a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir
Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to
the Promised Land to rid the Chinese village of the
vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)! Therefore, Sidhu
blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who
instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to
reveal the perils, which await him. Along the way, he
meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), Ms. Tele Shoppers Media
(Ms. TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to
the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.
Initially, Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences
manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men but
finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as the
country buffoon that he really is. Sidhu has the fire of
revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make
him a Kungfu expert and set the village free. Armed with
his Sifu (master), faith in himself and the love of the
fair Sakhi, Sidhu sets forth to conquer all!
