Review of 36 China Town

Watched this movie 2 weeks ago and was bit disappointed as abbas-mustan fan but happy overall to see a good hindi film. Especially seeing so many crappy movies released so tirelessly in hindi, this one was far better proposition to those. But the movie wasnt as gripping as abbas-mustans earlier works like humraaz, aitraaz or baazighar.

The story is pretty simple if u are used to watching thrillers which is also said to be copied from an american movie. A murder occurs, the murdere is identifies. As simple as that, thats how mystery movie works. Anyhow this movie was better in a sense that setup was different with casinos and Chinese influence etc but the other things remained same like a rich person is murdered for money ofcourse what else and then the mystery is unveiled.



Shahid kapur is yet to give a hit and this one does give him a minor one but still has a long way to go to take a film on his own shoulders. Ofcourse the hero of the movie is rather Akshaye Khanna who as in his previous abbas-mustan movies gives a stellar performance. Abbas-Mustan have always dished out good movies and this one for their standards wasnt all that great but was liek a not bad performance.

Kareena kapur after her villainous role in Aitraaz was back to normal bubbly gal role which ofcourse she executed pretty well. Others like paresh rawal, johnny lever were pretty professional and went abt their task without much effort. A good performance by I suppose a debutant called Rocky in the movie. A must watch if u are fed up of those sizzly stuffs and want some substance and arent tat patriotic to watch rang de or tat yash chopra fanatic to watch Fanaa.
