From Chandni Chowk to Kung Fu Panda


Well, managed to see Chandni Chowk to China today. And for some strange reason the plot seemed pretty similar to that of of Kung Fu Panda.

I wonder if Bollywood films could tweak their disclaimers to something like the below:

This is a work of fiction. All characters in this film are fictitious, any resemblance to any person dead or alive – or resemblance to any Hollywood film is purely a matter of coincidence.

BTW, Bachchan seems to be annoyed at Slumdog Millionaire’s projection of India. I wonder how he would react to the stereotyping of the Chinese in CC2C.

Well, I doubt if AB has even seen Slumdog. He was simply responding to a comment on his blog by an irate person who said the movie was a typical Westerner’s view of portraying India as the country with slums, begg ars and criminal. AB simply said that such criminal underbellies are seen in other countries as well. Simply a case of the media creating a headline where there was none.
