Bollywood Goes Kung Fu! Full Trailer Arrives For CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA!

by Todd Brown, December 9, 2008 3:50 AM

Gordon Liu in a Bollywood film? It's happened and it's coming to screens around the world - yes, even here in North America - in January. The film is Chandni Chowk To China and whoever realized that Shaw Brothers kung fu flicks and classic Bollywood musicals were siblings seperated at birth - seriously, it's shocking how well the two influences merge - deserves a big ol' hug.

The story revolves around an Indian cook who travels to China to train in kung fu, believing he is the reincarnation of an ancient Chinese warrior, but really all you need to know is that this looks like great big buckets of fun. The brand new theatrical trailer and a new music video have just joined the earlier teaser online and all three are brilliant. Check them out below the break.

I have mixed feelings. I love me some martial arts, love me some beautiful Indian women, but I just don't like all the singing and the dancing in Bollywood movies. Plus the bananapeel joke was just laaame. Sjeesh even '1950' called and asked their joke back!

This looks damn crazy, Stephen Chow crazy. I'm intrigued.

wow, this looks crazy and awesome.
indeed @Swarez, Kung Fu Hustle was what popped in my head too.

You know what? Take away the music, the dancing, heck even the Kung-fu just give me that close-up of Gordon Liu in the bowler hat on loop for 90 minutes and I'll gladly pay for a ticket. Any director that gets that kinda face out of Liu has my respect, nay my LOVE!

Looks Kung Fu Hustle-esque, but with Chow replaced with bollywood cheese. Sorry but that's not my kind of cheese. I do wish Gordon Liu was getting more work these days.

The Trailer entertains well!
Curios about the movie (not less then 3 hours, I bet)
