Critics Consensus

A thin plot is disguised by high octane dancing and action in this Bollywood crossover comedy.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

Right in the beginning, a minor character asks Sidhu: “Are you stupid?” He nods. That’s prescience.

Warner Bros second foray into Bollywood is a brainless masala potboiler.

Insufferable. Burdened with insipid plotting and lame comedy.

Tries to juggle Bollywood musical with martial arts action and slapstick comedy and fails at all three.

Rated: 1.5/5

Not sure why either of the leads chose to do this film. It's dumb and doesn't have much of a story either.

The plot is not good, feels like many movies have had a plot like this, and the few comedy scenes are okay.

CCTC is the first Indian martial arts movie that is very entertaining. Director Nikhil Advani and Akshay Kumar are the real stars that have made it a pleasant and interesting movie. It's really a great entertainer. Akshay Kumar who not only performs Martial arts, also emotes well throughout the entire movie. The film is full of thunderous performances. The film has excellent emotional chain between all characters. The stunts are the best ones I have ever seen. Other aspects like music,comedy,locations,cinematography and story with screenplay are also perfect. The Chinese actors are also good. On the whole,CCTC is a great entertainer all the way. Go,watch it and visit China with our desi stars!
