Unfortunately, the film did not rise above it and made up for an extremely yawn-some watch.

The Stanley Tong directorial had left me unimpressed from its trailer itself. A horribly cliched role!Īarif Rahman who plays Jones Lee and Yixing Zhang who plays Xiaoguang are a treat in their acts. Sonu Sood is completely over the top and its just a pity why he would do that to himself. While she looks pretty, it’s her monotonous dialogue delivery in this film that puts you off.Īmyra Dastur has a smaller role in this film but surprisingly does a decent job. I would still prefer to watch a Rush Hour reruns over this!ĭisha Patani recently debuted with the Dhoni biopic in Bollywood and has a long way to go. For all those who have grown up watching him as the goofiest yet the best action hero, this is a sheer disappointment.

If the makers were trying to justify the title ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ with one dialogue and a stretching trick, it’s just sad. Overall, even the pace of the film is quite slow. There nearly isn’t anything remotely funny in the film, not even the Indian dance that Chan pulls off in the concluding song. Unlike, Chan’s other films which are not just high on action but wit too, this one lacks the comic bits. I probably think the only reason they wanted to shoot a portion of story in India, was to add all the color and rope tricks of Rajasthan. It’s high time we stop portraying India as the land of snake charmers.

There’s action-dialogue-action and mostly this pattern follows. The makers take no efforts in establishing a plot that is fluid. The film’s story lacks intelligence and the dialogue is so forced that it seems like a history reading class. It’s like watching a spoof of Nicholas Cage’s National Treasure. Kung Fu Yoga has a plot that is completely yawn worthy. Will Jack be able to find the treasure and safeguard it from the greed of others?
