Made in China : A movie that should have been made differently

               "Made in China" a film based on a theme : entrepreneurship and  sex education. However, it failed to deliver the requisite messages to the audience. Additionally, the audience got confused whether this film teaches them to be an enterprising entrepreneur or makes them aware about the sex education. "Hotchpotch" would be an appropriate word for the movie.
                 
                  Cast and crew of " Made in China":

1. Raghu                 -      Rajkumar Rao
2. Rukmani             -      Mouni Roy
3. Dr. Vardhi           -      Boman Irani
4. Abhay Chopra    -      Gajraj Rao
5. Tanmay Shah      -      Paresh Rawal
6. Devraj                -      Sumeet Vyas

                   Plot of the story:

                  The film starts with Rajkumar Rao being portrayed as a businessman who wants to pursue the business of his will and not his father's business.  Moreover, he was changing his businesses with each changing day.However, he soon got succumbed in front of his uncle who mocks him for not making robust earnings. This showed that the character was lacking conviction in the business which he was choosing. 
                   
                   What should have been included in the film:
                  
               Rajkumar Rao should not have succumbed in front his uncle. He should have sought his own way. A real struggle of a businessman should have been portrayed. That too, Rajkumar Rao should have stuck to one business from beginning till the end. In this manner, youth should have been inspired to choose what they love. Moreover, success comes in persistence and not by changing tracks which Rajkumar Rao kept on doing.

                  Plot of the story:
              
               Then, Raghu goes with his cousin to China obeying his uncle . There, we are shown, even his cousin does not get the funding from Paresh Rawal. This meeting ends in few minutes. Raghu gets a chance to speak with Tanmay Shah, after his cousin leaves the restaurant. Paresh Rawal, tastes  Thepla which Raghu had brought. He also shares the same with other Chinese people. Lastly, Tanmay Shah wishes him good luck for future. 

                What should have been included in the film according to me:
         
               Tanmay Shah,being Gujarati too, should have branded "Thepla" and started selling in China. He should have provided the funding to Raghu  for facilitating him sell "Thepla" in many states of China and also other parts of the world. Paresh Rawal was not  used appropriately in the movie.He made a cameo.

                 Plot of the story: 
             
               When Raghu was about to leave China, Devraj's former secretary meets him.She convinces him to portray as Devraj (his cousin) in front of her former employer. Only then she can get the commission from him. At first, Raghu denies but then he accepts. The employer shows Raghu, a medicine to increase sexual pleasure in men.

                Blunder in the story:
     
             Where in the world have you seen that the owner or employer readily accepts whosoever comes to meet him? The employer's guards at-least should have asked for the I-card from Raghu. On top of it, he also briefs him about the product.     
                                          
                 Plot of the story:

                Then the story progresses with the arrival of Raghu in India. He first tries to establish nexus with the sexologists and chemists. But, doesn't find success. Raghu then hits a jackpot in the form of Dr. Vardhi who agrees after many efforts made by Newton's actor. They also include other people who undertake the tasks of packaging the product, distribution channel, marketing the product.
           
              On one fine day, Devraj comes to know about the product. He scolds his cousin for indulging into such a cheap business. There, the audience also comes to know that Chopra is also the partner in one of the businesses of Devraj. Accidentally, Chopra is the same person who is also the role model of Raghu. Rajkumar Rao daily hears Chopra's motivational videos.

             Devraj,then tells Raghu to meet Chopra. Chopra wanted a stake in Chinese Soup, the product launched by Raghu. However, Rao rejected the proposal.

             Blunder in the story

            I don't think Chopra should have approached Rajkumar Rao. Chopra's behaviour with Rao was as if his company was the only one that was making money in the entire country. Being an investor, he had many options. So why to depend only on Rao? Abhay Chopra was behind Stree's actor like anything. Also, he told Devraj to commit suicide if Rao doesn't agree. In practical world, this is impossible when we don't get a stake in one company. We try our hands at various companies or take over that entire company in a hostile manner.

             Ending of the story
           
            Finally, a commission was formed to investigate the ingredients of "Tiger Soup" being sold by Rao & his team. The inquiry was conducted since it resulted into the death of Chinese General. Again, the commission changed the tracks with "Sex Education" being discussed.

          Lastly, Rao is freed from all the allegations courtesy of Dr. Vardhi. We were showcased that sex problem is 70% psychological. The ingredients which were used to prepare "Tiger Soup" were herbs and no animal part was used.

            Biggest Blunder

            The police caught hold of Raghu. They kept on torturing him. Being, an entrepreneur, Rao should have hired a lawyer. Also, without testing the ingredients how can police keep a person in custody? The commission was also called without any basis. In between the inquiry, the lab reports were released. And finally, it acquitted Rao and Dr. Vardhi of all the charges. 

           The film lacked a pragmatic approach. This is evident from its box office numbers.
