36 China Town Reviews
A cool comedy thriller
Mar 20, 2007
springsunnywinter - imdb.com
The movie was quite good with many twists and turns although it's a comedy thriller and they both don't match. Everyone did a good job in the film and Upen Patel was OK for his first film. I thought it... Full review
Entertaining, despite being a blatant copy!!

Even though Abbas Mastan claim that the inspiration for this movie came to them while watching Chinatown (1974), the movie is actually a scene-by-scene lift of the 1992 Hollywood comedy Once Upon a Crime, starring John Candy and Cybill Shepherd.... Full review
More comedy than a thriller

This movie is a typical bollywood film, keep your thinking caps at home and you can enjoy the movie thoroughly. The first half an hour drags on with 3 (!!) songs, but after that the things pick up. In fact... Full review
Johnny Lever and Paresh are Superb!!!!

Never had any expectations from this movie. Abbas-Mustan are the directors who have taken full responsibility to remake all the Hollywood movies in to Bollywood. Originality is alien to them. Remember Aitraz (Disclosure), Daraar (sleeping with the enemy), Baadshah (Nick... Full review
Decent thriller--good songs and performances

AishFan - imdb.com
36 China Town is a decent thriller with an interesting storyline, although there is absolutely nothing new about it. Abbas-Mastan don't live up to their name after delivering suspense-packed films like Aitraaz, Humraaz, and Ajnabee. 36 China Town is not... Full review
a light thriller

sandhirflora - imdb.com
Talking about success of 36 China Town is also talking about repeated success of its directors duo Abbas Mustan who started off as directors in Hindi films more than 15 years ago with a flop Agneekaal (1990). Such a high... Full review

This movie was very good as it being a bollywood movie. Unlike an ordinary attempt to create a murder mystery, this time bollywood has definitely done the right thing. They left no loose ends or wandering questions although some pointless... Full review
Make no mistake this is no thriller its a comedy involving a Murder.

I went into this movie expecting a stylised(somewhat overly) thriller from Abbas-Mastan duo and boy was I surprised.The movie started off like expected with a stylised flashback and a decent attempt to merge to the stories of a few individuals... Full review
Suspenseful thriller

mahak01 - imdb.com
"36 China Town" is a suspenseful thriller starring Kareena Kapoor, Isha Koppikar, Shahid Kapur, Paresh Rawal and others. It involves the murder of Sonia Chang and reverts to "Whodunnit?" style with seven main suspects. The movie also has a comedy... Full review
Good Show...Gr88 Entertainer

anandasane - imdb.com
Of course this starts with the usual Bollywood movies..with a lot of songs...But the story starts taking its grip gradually. Great chemistry between Shahid and Kareena, real good comedy by Paresh, Johhny...Upen Sucks!!! but this guy has potential to do... Full review

Real Bollywood
Overall, this is an awful film and a total waste of time. Cinematography is decent. Art direction is suitable to theme. The only good thing about this venture is the foot-tapping music of Himesh Reshammiya. Their direction is sloppy and jaded. ... Full Review

Good cinematography but poor dialogues especially in the first half. All his scenes are hilarious. Honestly speaking, Priyanka Chopra who is the surprise package of the film, makes a greater impact in her two scenes. ... Full Review

Clearly, 36 China Town is letdown by a sloppy script. Unfortunately, 36 China Town doesn't get the grammar of whodunit right. To cut a long story short, 36 China Town only cements the fact that gloss can never substitute for a spellbinding story. ... Full Review

Bollyvista
Himesh mixes East-Asian music with modern beats quite well. Shaan is good as usual, but Sunidhi is out of sorts yet again. It is a routine composition ... Full Review

China Town Story about how two old servants – male and female, working for a rich ‘Casino owner’ Lady, get her child kidnapped and murder her – for money! Many other characters come in this movie – showing how commoners waste their money in gambling, what kinds of wives they have, what all the poor category people are ready to do – compromise on – just to get money ! Shows how wives suffer endlessly because of gambler husbands – how they curse and thus - how destiny ultimate puts an end to the life of the woman who is responsible for such a wasteful, anti social business! Death came to the rich Business woman through two old haggard unassuming servants!! This is what destiny is all about. Beware !! Do not be greedy or else you might get entangled like the ‘commoners’ got in this movie. Be satisfied with what you get by working for a good wholesome constructive work…whatever be the nature of work.
