'Chandni Chowk To China', the first ever Bollywood Kung-Fu comedy takes you on a journey from the bylanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China, churning in it's wake hilarious gags, breathtaking action, spectacular locations and heart-stirring emotions.
Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole of life - cutting vegetables at a roadside food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts - with astrologers, tarot card readers and fake fakirs - basically believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun) best efforts.
His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take him to China.
Sidhu now dreams of wine, women and princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does Sidhu know that he's being taken to the promised land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu).
So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who instigates dreams of a fantastic future but forgets to reveal the perils that await him.
Along the way Sidhu meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone) aka Ms TSN (Tele Shopper's Media) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.
Through a series of lucky coincidences, Sidhu initially manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men. But finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as a country buffoon that he really is.
Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make him a kung-fu expert and set the village free.
With guidance from his master (Roger Yuan), keeping faith in himself and armed with his love for Sakhi, Sidhu sets forth to conquer all.
