36 China Town is a 2006 Bollywood comedy murder mystery film directed by Abbas-Mustan and produced by Subhash Ghai. It is an official adaption of the 1992 American film Once Upon a Crime (which in turn is a remake of the 1960 Italian film Crimen).
The film stars an ensemble cast of Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Vivek Shauq, Isha Koppikar, Upen Patel (in his film debut), Paresh Rawal, Payal Rohatgi, Johnny Lever and Tanaaz Currim, while Priyanka Chopra and Tanushree Dutta make special appearances. The film follows the investigation of a police officer trying to find the killer of a wealthy casino owner, Sonia Chang. The comedy scenes enacted in the movie by Paresh Rawal, Johny Lever and Tanaz Kareem are the plus point of the movie. The film was declared "hit" at the Box office.
When Raj Malhotra (Shahid Kapoor), a cash strapped wannabe Bollywood actor, meets Priya (Kareena Kapoor), a runaway jilted girl who has discovered the true nature of her gold-digger lover, neither has an inkling of the plot about to unfold. The duo soon find a baby, who seems to be the lost infant son of Sonia Chang (Isha Koppikar). Sonia is the owner of the titular casino in Goa. After her baby was kidnapped, the kidnapper & the baby both went missing. The distraught Sonia is contemplating changing her will, when the duo inform her of the development.
