Chandni Chowk to China is Bollywood's all-singing, all-dancing, all-Hindi bid to conquer America.

Chandni Chowk isn't going to appeal to those not already entertained by Bollywood and kung-fu movie cliches. But it could turn the charismatic Kumar into a global star, making the prescribed happy ending even sweeter for Warner Bros.
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News

Chandni has martial- arts montages and Bollywood song-and-dance numbers. As tacky as the latter are, they're the sweet -- and only? -- draw of the movie. They also give this slight comedy-adventure its epic and unearned length.
