'36 China Town' suspense withheld

The makers of 36 China Town – a whodunit murder mystery – are making sure that the film’s suspense is not out before its release.

One murder and many suspects. A gripping story with a host of Bollywood stars including Kareena Kapoor , Shahid Kapur , Akshaye Khanna , newcomer Upen Patel , Payal Rohatgi , Isha Koppikar , Tanushree Dutta , Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever. And when Abbas-Mastan duo happen to be the directors, one can expect a riveting climax.

To keep the movie’s suspense intact, its producer Subhash Ghai has decided not to have any pre-release screenings of the film, be it the trial show, the paid previews or special screenings for the movie’s cast.

Even Ghai himself would see ‘36 China Town’ on Friday when the film hits the marquee.

As the movie’s story goes, a high-profile woman who owns a casino and runs other illegal businesses is murdered. The prime suspects are a young couple – Raj and Priya (Shahid and Kareena) – who had gone to the woman’s bungalow to reunite her lost 5-yr-old son with her.

Akshaye Khanna plays inspector Akshay who takes charge of the case. As Akshay racks his brains to solve the murder mystery, the list of usual suspects increases. The case becomes more complicated.

Among the other suspects on Akshay’s list are Sonia and Vicky, a married couple. There is also a high society playboy Rocky (Upen Patel) who was spotted near the bungalow on the night of the murder. Even the old butler Natwar (Paresh Rawal) is one of the suspects.

It is quite apparent that Subhash Ghai believes that the movie’s climax will be an edge-of-the-seat experience for the viewers. So all the pre-release shows were cancelled lest the people who see the movie spoil the suspense by sharing it with others.

By the way, both Kareena and Shahid will not attend the movie’s premiere in India. They are headed to the US for the Rockstars concerts. They will catch the movie there.
