Critics Consensus

Kung Fu Yoga may enchant fans with its charismatic fights and exotic locations, but the plot stretches like an uncomfortably long downward dog.

Not even Jackie Chan can save this ill-advised mash-up.

Once in a while I see a film that is hypnotic in its awfulness; which means it's so bad that you can't look away. Kung Fu Yoga is one such film.

Rated: 1/5

The Hollywood Reporter

Kung-Fu Yoga scratches fans' itch for no-nonsense, no-pretense Chan fare - in which he isn't second-banana to a Western star, or married to a director who thinks VFX are required to make Chan's stunts more impressive.

The AU Review

Kung Fu Yoga is a massive disappointment for fans of Jackie Chan, fans of cinema, Indian fans, Indian people in general and is just a complete embarrassment for all involved.

Rated: 1/5

Kung-Fu Yoga works because of the numerous scenes of fantastic hand-to-hand combat that are often punctuated with a comedic tone.

Rated: 3/5

... the film is a mess, split between a bunch of characters and jumping genres at every cut, with a juvenile humor clearly aimed at younger audiences.

Filme: Kung Fu Yoga Assistido: 28-10-24 Elenco: @jackiechan @sonu_sood @amyradastur @miyamuqi_official @dishapatani @aarif_964 @layzhang Modelo: #comedia #ação #artemarcial Duração: 1h 47m Ano: 2017 Minha opinião: Jackie nesta fase de sua vida tem alternando seus filmes de comédia e drama. E hoje em dia não vemos mais aquela explosão de seus filmes, em 2025 existe uma expectativa para Karate Kid 5 contra cenando com Ralph Machio. Aqui em faz um papel de Indiana Jones, mas aqui sendo o arqueólogo. E temos também o filme Operação Condor de 1991 que Jackie faz estilo Indiana filme gostei mais. Aqui temos um filme que mostra lindas atrizes. Um filme que roda a Ásia e mostrando sua beleza. E a busca de um tesouro, este que na verdade era pergaminho. O tesouro na verdade era o conhecimento. E para variar com várias cenas de acrobacias e lutas. O legal é o final onde tem as coreografias de dança, ao estilo indiano de filmes. Pois é assim que termina. Roteiro e enredo melancólico. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra altenativa. Nota: 5,5 pela belas atrizes.

An entertaining watch, but don't watch it if you want plot

The plot was terrible, and unrealistic. And so was the writing, and acting. The action scenes were the only redeemable quality.

Lots of plot holes and cheesy lines, but it's Jackie Chan so it was entertaining. That dance number!

My only complaint is that the only song-and-dance number doesn't come until the final scene, and really doesn't have enough shot-by-shot costume changes. Other than that, if you love cheesy kung fu movies and you love Hindi films with long, meandering "plots," this movie has almost everything… just not nearly enough full-cast dance numbers. That one musical is a gem though, a fun mashup of Chinese choral pop, Hindi full-cast synchronized dancing, and a few K-pop moves thrown in for an unexpected garnish. My family danced through the credits and then went through the whole musical number twice more. For a guy who does all his own stunts, Jackie Chan is a strangely stiff dancer (maybe it was the ascot?) which just added to the bizarre charm of this gem.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
