Just when Indian-centric movies are gaining worldwide acclaim with spellbinding films like Slumdog Millionaire, along comes a movie that could erase the positive mystique around Indian culture with one misplaced karate chop. Warner Brothers is releasing a new movie in January called “Chandi Chowk to China” which looks like a horrible combination of bollywood theatrics, comedy, and Crouching Tiger-style fighting. I’m really not sure what this movie is trying to accomplish but it is going to take some serious word-of-mouth praise to get me to see it. Unless I’m drunk.
Check out the trailer.
