Looks to me like Kung Fu Hustle meets James Bond meets Kill Bill meets Mary Poppins.

Your wrong this film is inspired from Akshay Kumar's autobiography, he was a Chef Cook in Bankok before bollywood days and then learned and trained in marital arts, totally different.

Wrong! Chandni Chowk to China was in production long before Kung-Fu Panda ever released! In fact, both movies were in production at the same time.
Keep in mind that Chandni Chowk to China and Kung-Fu Panda are both Hollywood productions anyway, so it wouldn't be possible for one to be copied from the other. The only reason they are similar is because they are both inspired by the same source: Hong Kong action cinema.
Also note that Chandni Chowk to China is supposed to be based on Akshay's own life of how he went from being a chef in Bangkok to being an action hero in Bollywood.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM???!!!!!"
Thease idiots will say anything trying to coverup all the movies like this copy.
shareI would say "ripped off" is way too strong... there were lots of elements taken from other movies, but I think with humor AND respect.
I thought the "Kung Fu Hustle" bits were recognizable, but also very funny.
A tip of the hat, not a picking of the pocket.
The drunken fight was a send-up not only of Jackie Chan, but also of American silent actors like Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, who Jackie himself has admired publicly. The drunk walking unharmed through the battlefield is old schtick, but here again, done well.
The movie has so many little jokes on "Hong Kong" style from John Woo to Jackie Chan to "The Matrix": like the bit where Kumar raises his arms in a Neo-like motion at a dramatic moment in the final fight... and his sleeve gets caught.
The title musical number had few good
Well, it sounds like it isn't a copy or a rip off but maybe a fusion. Most movies, most works of art, have clear precedents, and this movie will be no different.
The issue isn't how closely it follows previous movies but how good it is.
I don't know why there is so much talk about it being ripped off . This movie has created a lot of positive buzz. And from the looks of the trailer looks like first original hindi kung-fu action movie. So lets just keep our fingers crossed.
shareif hollywood copies a film it's called re-make
if any other country does, it's called rip-off
sounds pretty honest, no?
"What if there is no tomorrow? there wasn't one today...!"
When Hollywood "copies" they buy the rights to a film and it's openly acknowledged that the movie is a remake. How many times has a Bollywood director officially bought the rights to a Hollywood movie or any other international movie before they "remade" it?
shareyou got a point!
"What if there is no tomorrow? there wasn't one today...!"
hollywood gets permission before a film is copied, thus called a remake..... i cant say the same about bollywood so its called a rip-off, the ripoff is from either hollywood movies, chinese movies , japanese movies or even koreans movies.... bollywood makes the whole cinema watching experience rather crappy.... right from sholay till date its cheap rips which outnumbers the originals by a very large margin....
shareI-GOT-THE-POINT.
you guys don't have to repeat what's been said already a few times.
"What if there is no tomorrow? there wasn't one today...!"
Cheers Sab, Akshay Kumar maybe the adam sandler of Bollywood, as well as the Bruce Lee of India, he was a serious long hair action hero in the 90s, now a commedian.
