In a career spanning almost two decades, the director duo Abbas-Mustan
have handled thrillers proficiently in all their earlier episodes.
Having seen the success of earlier films, now they are back with
another thriller, suspense and comedy movie '36 China Town'. The
picture is yet to attract the audience. Maybe, through unanticipated
publicity.
Sonia (Isha Koppikar) is the owner of a casino in Goa. The only love in
her life is her son. When he suddenly goes missing, the lady is
distraught and distressed. She offers a huge reward of Rs. 25 lacs to
anyone who can trace her son.
Raj (Shahid Kapoor) and Priya (Kareena Kapoor), two strangers from
different backgrounds, accidentally spot the child and decide to split
the reward money given by Sonia. But when they finally reach Sonia's
mansion late at night, they find her murdered. They panic and escape
from the mansion. In the process, Priya forgets her suitcase in the
mansion. Due to this, they become the main suspects in the
murder.

Later, based on various evidences, the cop (Akshaye Khanna) realizes
this is not a simple case to open and shut, since a number of new
suspects show up while the investigations are on. The suspects include
two couples (Johny Lever - Tanaaz and Paresh Rawal - Payal Rohatgi), a
playboy (Upen Patel), a drunkard (Raj Zutshi) and the domestic help
(Dinyar Contractor, Roshan Tirandaaz). Who is the real murderer and
what is the motive behind the murder, is to be watched on the silver
screen.
Performance:
Akshaye's peroformance is outstanding. Kareena doesn't really get any
scope. Shahid tends to go over the top. He needs to control his facial
expressions. Upen Patel makes a fine debut and seems confident. Paresh
Rawal and Johny Lever's comedy contribution is good. Isha Koppikar
could have done well. Music by Himesh Reshammiya is the only saving
grace. The direction and other aspects are adequate.
Verdict: Average |  |
