Chandni Chowk Crisis

In Nepal, there were protests against the film due to a passing claim that Buddha was born in India; Lumbini, which is the birthplace of Buddha, is located in Nepal.

Several shows were cancelled due to heavy protests from students and youth groups.

Protests included threats by Buddhists to burn movie theaters that screened the film, and racial slurs like "Dhoti" (the Indian term for a form of traditional clothing which is used as a derogatory racial slur against Indians in Nepal).

The protests continued for several days, despite the Nepali distributor editing out the piece of narration that mentioned Buddha in the copies of the film shown in Nepal. On Thursday, January 22, Nepali cinemas stopped screening Chandni Chowk to China.

Grade
C

Good action, but no flow of story. Akshay, the famous Bollywood actor seems to overact in this movie, which is inspirired from his own biography. Deepika doesn't have many dialogues and neither does anyone. Its definetely a family movie for time pass and for comedy lovers.
