Mindless Bollywood montage, served Chinese Noodle style. The movie puts together the latest Bollywood fad of revisiting its past along with Chinese made products in an attempt to lure a bigger market.
The story could have been set like Chandni Chowk to Cooch Bihar – but Bollywood has visited the hinterlands of Bihar forever. Plus its time to bring in the exotic. Hence off we are taken to a village next to The Wall.
You have a separated family that visits the same place a la Amar Akbar Anthony and Yaadon Ki Baraat; you get to see bandits descending on a village in the middle of a song and dance a la Sholay; you are served emotional atyachaar in the form of long dialogs along with kung-fu achaar.
You also have a myriad of Chinese products that actually work - translating on the fly and doubling up as parachutes and bullet proof umbrellas.
A neat experiment. Decently enjoyable if you leave logic behind (aren’t we all adept at that already?!)
By the way, Deepika rocks.
