Bollywood movies that had a China connection to it

In Bollywood, we have seen many films where countries and cities play a very pivotal part in the narrative. B-Town filmmakers love to explore different countries in their film and one of them is China. We have seen a few films in the past where China was not just a place, but an important element in the story.

Today, let’s look at the list of Bollywood movies that had a China connection to it


Chandni Chowk to China

Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone starrer Chandni Chowk to China was a big project but unfortunately failed to make a mark at the box office. However, China was an integral part of the narration and even the movie was shot in the country.

Tubelight

Salman Khan starrer Tubelight was about two brothers and how one of them has to go for a war. It was based on the backdrop of the 1962 Indo-China war. The movie also showcased the biggest stereotype that how North-East people are considered as Chinese in India.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

In 2016 released Happy Bhag Jayegi and then in 2018 the makers came with the sequel Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi. While in the first instalment Happy runs away to Pakistani, in the sequel, Happy runs away in China. Well, the sequel starring Sonakshi Sinha didn’t get a great response at the box office.

Paltan

After Border and LOC Kargil, JP Dutta completed his war trilogy with 2018 release Paltan. The film was based on 1967 Nathu La and Cho La clashes that took place between the militaries of India and China alongside the border of the Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim. The movie starred Jackie Shroff, Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, Harshvardhan Rane, Esha Gupta, Sonal Chauhan, and Dipika Kakkar.

Made In China

Now, on Diwali this year, we will get to see a film that once again has a China connection to it. We are talking about Made In China. The movie is about a Gujarati businessman who gets a magic soup from China and sells it in India. Made In China stars Rajkummar Rao and Mouni Roy in the lead roles.

Shah Rukh Khan launches Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut "The BA***DS of Bollywood"

Bollywood’s King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, just dropped a bombshell at Netflix’s Next on Netflix event in Mumbai. The megastar took the stage to announce his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, and the buzz is already through the roof. Produced under their banner, Red Chillies Entertainment, this series is set to pull back the curtain on the chaotic, glamorous, and often absurd world of Bollywood, with a hefty dose of humour and a no-holds-barred approach.

SRK, ever the charmer, couldn’t hide his pride as he spoke about Aryan stepping into the director’s chair. “If my kids get even half the love you’ve given me, it’ll be more than enough,” he told the crowd, his voice tinged with emotion. But true to form, he couldn’t resist cracking a joke. “People get offended by my jokes, so I stopped making them. I passed that legacy to Aryan and said, ‘Go make your father proud.’”

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer hit with sexual assault and human trafficking lawsuit

Neil Gaiman, the celebrated author of The Sandman and American Gods, has been accused of sexual assault, rape, and human trafficking in a lawsuit filed by his former babysitter, Scarlett Pavlovich. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, also names Gaiman’s estranged wife, musician Amanda Palmer, alleging she knowingly enabled the abuse.

Pavlovich, who worked as a live-in nanny for the couple on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, claims Gaiman exploited her vulnerable financial and mental health situation. According to the lawsuit, Gaiman subjected her to months of violent sexual abuse, including repeated rape, choking, and physical assault. He allegedly referred to her as his “slave” and demanded she call him “master.” Pavlovich claims she endured the abuse out of fear of losing her job, housing, and promised career support.
