Chandni Chowk to China - where?!

Priya and I, as expected, are the first bunch of victims to commit the crime of watching this bollywood flick; even after loads of dissent from others.
At a particular scene: we were startled, wondered, and guffawed at such high decibels that our neighbors in the movie hall returned nasty looks. Man! What a pathetic movie it was…and I’m astonished that critics have rated with a star or two. Given an opportunity, I’d have rated negative stars, if astronomy permits me to do so.
Please don't even imagine watching it from a downloaded movie version. Yuckie! Yuckie!
Story line: AK is Channi Chowk's fortune mongering cook - foster dada Mithun chakraborty -two Chinese travel all the way (God knows why!) to CC - see their lost warrior's reincarnation in AK (booh!) - they convince AK and his friend Mr. Shorey, perpetrator in getting AK to China! (Indo-Chinese breed; a Feng-shui and Palmistry expert, purely a translator of most Chinese to Hindi).
Another comic strip in same lines; Deepika Padukone (DP) has possibly THE most unbelievable coincidences - twin sisters, one who comes along with AK to china seeking revenge and another twin is blue-eyed vamp of a notorious Chinese criminal from whom the former is seeking revenge. This criminal is killer of DP's Chinese father....and well, who also killed her Indian mother, can you buy this?!
AK gets to be serious once his guerrilla encounter in China results in his foster dada Mithun's (now call a genie!) death. I wonder from where he popped up from CC to China's remote village!!!!!!!!!! (exclamation n to zillion times!).
As any Hindi movie goes on...AK is trained by none other than DP's long-lost-retarded-police father...with all the hoopla in training he becomes a trained kung-fu fighter and defeats a well versed Chinese origin villain who could kill people by twisting fingers!
I end my misery here and like a Good Samaritan making none of you to think of this movie J
Let Warner bros learn lesson and not go with a sequel on this..which is almost certain..->Chandni Chowk to AFRICA...pls no!
