Kung Fu Yoga movie review: Jackie Chan, Sonu Sood are squandered in this dated tosh,
Martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, and the title of the ancient Magadha Empire in India Sonu Sood's a film about a lost treasure. Chan plays Jack, an archaeologist in China and kung fu expert, a young Indian professor (Disha Patani) and his assistant (Amyra Dastur) teams up with kung fu yoga (KFY) in wanting to hoard. They paid search Randall (interest), the original owners of the treasure is interrupted by a descendant.
This action adventure where you have this kind of mixture, without looking stupid audition, martial arts, philosophy, humor, and pop sensation immense talent it takes to pull off. Director-writer Stanley Tong - Chan films, the story of those two policies and the Bronx Rumble (1995) and was a great success - not even manage to lift off the ground KFY.
To be fair I must point out that I watched the Hindi version of this English film, and the dubbing was just passable. While this may have partly affected the viewing experience, the messy storyline, ludicrous clichés and middling action can hardly be blamed on sub-par dubbing.
Why is it called Kung Fu Yoga? Not because there is lots of kung fu and lots of yoga in the film. No ma’am! KFY has plenty of kung fu but almost no yoga, which suggests that the name was chosen because in the filmmaker’s view, kung fu epitomises China and yoga epitomises India. Maybe he can christen his next one Panda Maharaja or CurryNoodle to indicate once again that it brings together Indian and Chinese characters? The lazy titling is irritating.
Asians were stereotyped fashion in Hollywood in 2017, will be critical - justifiably - to stop them, he said. However, what you said in your own (Tong from Hong Kong) is a high-profile Hollywood directors are much worse than it was years?
Fu added level of stereotyping is bizarre. As Randall Indian, he just happens to have a lion wandering around his house. Jack is just an SUV he had stolen from in front of a lion in Dubai is a modern hotel that happens. The role of its foreign guests to visit Dubai, showing a camel race will be the prince. A regular Indian Bazaar (for the record, that in view of the poor beast is a disturbing sight foaming at the mouth.) - Not a tourist resort, but a regular market - just a rope-trick performer was filled with snake charmers, a floating mystic, fire eaters eaters and sword, which you kind of wonder if this exotica Tong Sarojini Nagar or on the road in the hope that it serves. This is all routine stuff for Asians apparently, is the filmmaker's book.
It is rubbish to write and direct, and it is not easy to mock an intelligent audience. Anyone who refuses to brush aside the work of David Dhawan and Rohit Shetty, I bet for a lot of things, such as yoga, kung fu is.
Chan said that it is a measure of inherent charm despite being surrounded by empty the contents of his usual warm honey comes across as self. Although his kung fu, you need to come up with the best choreography of the film. They are sadly unimpressive.
As interest, Hindi film audience knows that he is equally nonsense handling gravitas and good since we saw him in films Jodhaa Akbar ranging from Dabangg. He, however, said this silly action adventure that fails, try the more convinced.
Patani (who made her debut in Hindi films to attract attention, M.S. Dhoni: Untold Story, last year) and Dastur, though wasted on the sidelines, we get a glimpse of their ability to make good on the screen does not throw punches. Indian cinema for films with better quality of life should take them out.
