The plot is lackluster and the whole journey in finding the treasure has exotic locations and the usual ingredients for a road trip or even a multi continent round trip but the incoherent screenplay and script goes on a freefall till the end. What trouble KFY most is the stereotyping of our Indian culture where Sonu Sood a multi-millionaire is seen around with Lions and it becomes so annoying after an extent that there is one scene when Jackie is seen escaping away in an SUV which has lions in it, now where on earth have you seen that before? There is no reason for the film to be called Kung Fu yoga, the first part is on the money with enough fight choreography but Yoga comes out of nowhere and is a deliberate attempt to add the Indian taste. The Tamil version of KFY is not bad enough and has the elements of quirky laughable dialogues suited to our nativity. In the lead up to finding the treasure they set out on a lavishing journey mixed with enough pop corn coated entertainment quotient for a decent commercial flick. But the trouble starts when Sonu Sood also a decendant of the original treasure comes in terms to claim his hand on the vast treasure. Jackie Chan is an ace archeologist, also a Kung Fu expert who happens to team up with Indian professor Disha and Amrya on a mission to find a missing treasure after the Indian counterpart comes up to him with a potential lead. Kungfu Yoga is a fun packed combo when Jackie and his friends visit India, but the poor stereotyping of India makes a mess out of the whole screenplay and the end product is just average.
Jackie Chan’s no stranger to the Indian cinema, but what he has not done yet is acting alongside some known Bollywood stars.
When Chinese martial arts meets Indian contingent of adventure, the journey is fun, comical and also becomes tiring after a point of time.
