The movie opens with a flashback of 1986, planted in Goa where four friends- Xavier, David, Jayakrishnan, Gomez and their family are leading a happy life, running a casino. But a drug dealer turned politician, Gowda plays foul and kills three of the friends while their children lead by Gomez somehow manages to escape from the land. Twenty five Years later, Gomez (Captain Raju) is now back to Goa to teach Gowda a lesson and to gift the children of his friends with the ownership a new casino. For that he manages to bring together Xavier's son Mathukutty,(Mohanlal) who is now  a known goonda at Idukki, and Jayakrishanan's son Binoy , a hyper romantic drunkard with David's son Zakharaia who is ready to do anything for money. More over, Gomez also secretly informs the police about the drugs stock in the casinos owned by Gowda, leading to continuous raids in later’s warehouses and loss of around hundred crores of stuff. The movie takes a different route as Gowda who is contesting the elections accidentally identities the three youngsters as his former enemy's sons.


Bottom Line
===========


China Town - 'Chinatown' is just for time pass


'Chinatown' has a thoroughly entertaining first hour, but the weak writing in its post-interval portions asking you to leave-your-brains-at-home prevents the movie from becoming an altogether  appreciable work.At the Box Office, the movie will have a very good first week,  but the subsequent weeks will need heavy promotions to sail through.  Anyhow, ‘China Town’ is prescribable for a one time watch, much to enjoy the comic timing of its lead cast.
