Bollywood brought cine goers a mix of both, massive hits and massive flops in 2008 but this year has some big hits coming our way. Here’s what we can look forward to in 2009.

First up we have Salman Khan producing a periodical Veer — Salman Khan’s Scripted Mythology, and after that he goes back to his dreams London Dreams i.e., where he entertains the audiences as a pop star. But that’s not all, Salman has loads of surprises up his sleeve, and as the year comes to a close, we also get to see him in an action flick, the type of action that only Salman can do justice to in Wanted.

And that’s not all, Akshay Kumar has got a few tricks up his sleeve also, he brings to the big screen a wide variety of flicks and what’s more we get to watch him do what he does best — a host of different roles. First in line, we have Chandni Chowk to China, a kung fu hit you won’t want to miss. Next up is an action thriller Blue and the list doesn’t end there. Tagged one of 2009’s biggest Bollywood flick — Kambakht Ishq worth 80 crores and has a super star cast, the likes of Silvester Stallon, Denise Richards, Kareena Kapoor and of course Akshay Kumar. Now that sounds like fun, but Akshay doesn’t stop there, at the end of this most spectacular year, Akshay turns producer and gives us De Dhanadhan.

As always Aamir Khan always leaves us wanting more — with his one big release every year and 2009 is no different, we can look forward to his big budget release 3 Idiots — where he romances Kareena Kapoor.

And finally, we saved the best for last; King Khan is following in the foot steps of Aamir Khan when it comes to one big movie a year, so for 2009 Shah Rukh Khan gives us My Name is Khan which is supposed to be a remake of Rainman.

So cheers to 2009 and the very best of Bollywood, promising us that our visit to the cinema will be worth it.

Chandni Chowk to China, Bollywood’s first film shot in China, headlines Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone with Bollywood veteran Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong veteran Gordon Liu playing important roles.

Chandni Chowk To China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a madcap Journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi, to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China, marrying in its wake hilarious gags, breathtaking action, spectacular locations and heart stirring emotions.

Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a roadside food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts- with astrologers, tarot readers and fake fakirs – basically believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada’s (Mithun Chakraborty) best efforts.

His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and takes him to China. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women, and a princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the Promised Land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)!

So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils which await him. Along the way he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), Ms. Tele Shoppers Media (Ms. TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.

Initially, Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo’s men but finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as the country buffoon that he really is. Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make him a Kungfu expert and set the village free. Armed with his Sifu (master), faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi Sidhu sets forth to conquer all!
