36 China Town (2006)

Powerful

Don't listen to the negative reviews

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I started watching Indian movies since I saw the "chance pe dance" in a movie theater, because I thought that shahid kapoor looks cute. and he dances well.I found this DVD at a local library. And the cover looks so ugly, it is so dark, and boring. I thought that this movie is probably just like the cover. It is actually better than some other movies which Shahid kapoor were in. I am rating this movie a 8 because it is better than some other silly Indian comedy movies. Some scenes actually made me laugh. At first, I thought that the storyline is really good, it reminded me of the movie "death on the nile river", it has the "Agatha Christie" kind of mystery. Then I got on here, and read that this movie is actually just a copy of some other movies. So I should lower one point for it, but since it is rated so low, i am going to keep the 8 rating.Shahid Kapoor is really good, his eyes alone can act. I wonder if he will become a big star if he gets an USA accent, and comes to work in Hollywood. Anyway, my favorite scene was when he and pyriya opened the suitcase in the police station, their reactions were purely comical, very funny. The other couple's reaction were also very funny.Indian movies tend to be long, at least two hours long. If they cut the some unnecessary scenes, and formed its own original story. This movie could be a hot hit. It combined hot dancing with a mystery which is quite unique. Hollywood hardly ever makes movies like that. The ending was a surprise to me, I totally didn't expect the killer. I also like those cheesy pick up lines that Rocky uses,

This Movie is not a Movie its CrapAs for Shahid Kareena Chemistry It Sucks Abbas-Mustan Have made Great Movies but This One hmmmmWhat happened to Them i really Loved there Baazigar, Khiladi and all they were really good Im Really Disappointed After Seeing this CrapThis movie Is not Worth Watching A Total Ripoff, This Movie Really one of the Most Worst movies of 2006.]I wasted my money on the DVD but i made a mistake.The Acting is very Bad The Direction is Passable Due to Modern Day Technology The Cinematography, i would say the same but the Storyline is CrapDon't Bother to watch it ull waste ur time

I think the film itself was gr8 as i watched it at home wondering it would be a thriller. It wasn't exactly a thriller but still a great film to watch as it contains good songs, good characters, a lot of comedy for entertainment etc. Go and watch this film if you haven't already seen it. You'll definitely be pleased....and why do you have to write minimum of 10 lines, for freaks sake, come on. i don't know what else to writeand now I'm just getting bored because IMDb isn't letting me to submit my commenthow gay is thatflippin hell

36 China Town is promoted as a 'Whodunnit' kinda thriller film with suspects lined up and the stage set for a master detective to enter and unravel a suspense mystery..........my advice to the promoters is : GO TO HELL.The film passes off as acceptable merely on the basis of some good acting and Reshammiya's Midas Touch over Hindi music. The film hardly thrills and is more of a brainless comedy than a potboiler. The climax sucks to the core and there is no intelligent unraveling of mysteries. Bollywood is still in the infant stage in the arena of suspense-thrillers and a few good ones that have been made so far , like Samay (Sushmita Sen,2003) never got an encouraging response.ACTING: The only good thing that can be said about 36,China Town is the above average acting. Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, though still young in Hindi cinema, act with maturity and share impressive on-screen chemistry (the couple are known love-birds off-screen too!). Debutant Upen Patel is pure eye-candy but still needs to brush up his acting. Yet another down-point of the film is that Upen's voice has been dubbed and the lip-sync is imperfect. Paresh Rawal and Johny Lever do gross injustice to their comic talent; though as an afterthought, there are certain hilarious scenes in the film. Akshaye Khanna once again delivers a great performance. Its sad that after some damn good performances like Dil Chahta Hai, Border, Humraaz and this one, the actor is still not sure of his place in Hindi cinema. Payal Rohatgi and Tanaaz Lal complete the acting cast. Payal would be better off displaying her wares at some cheap dance bar because the absence of ANY acting talent in her is conspicuous in the film. Tanaaz Lal looks refreshing and looks a part of the film.MUSIC: Himesh Reshammiya comes out on top again with the track- Aashiqui mein teri.....
