One first saw it with the disaster that was Saawariya, which was Sony Pictures Entertainment’s first Hindi co-production venture. What followed next was The Walt Disney Studios co-production with Yash Raj Films – Roadside Romeo, which received ho-hum response at the box office. The latest Hollywood studio to enter the Indian film industry with a big budget extravaganza is Warner Bros with the Akshay Kumar starrer Chandni Chowk To China.
While Warner Bros failed to create any ripples at the box office with its earlier release Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, expectations were high from CC2C. However, going by the initial reports that are coming in, what has been dished out is a lavishly mounted fare with no seasoning whatsoever!

Yashraj Films' much awaited co-production with Walt Disney Roadside Romeo, a Rs 23-crore animation featuring the voices of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor released to empty houses in 2008.

Joining the sequel bandwagon is Shemaroo's Bal Ganesh and a step ahead with a threequel is Baba Arts's My Friend Ganesha.

Roadside Romeo was released in October last year and had the voices of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Jaaved Jafferi, Sanjay Mishra, and Tanaaz Currim with lyrics by Jaideep Sahni and music
