Soon enough, he’s escorted by Randall’s henchmen to a temple that is believed to hold an answer to this mystery. Following scenes where Jack walks nose first into icicles inside exotic caves and wastes countless sports cars in Dubai, he travels to India with assistants Zhu (Yixing Zhang) and Nuomin (Miya Muqi). But not if Randall (Sonu Sood), a descendent of the previously mentioned Bhima and a millionaire megalomaniac, has his way. There is an odd reference to an ancient Indian treasure in this 1000-year-old tale and eventually, procuring it becomes the sole focus of the film. An animated sequence furnishes a war, where two Chinese explorers are seen fielding a shower of arrows being directed at them by an army of Indian warriors headed by a ruthless leader, Bhima. The film begins with a history class, where Professor Jack (Jackie Chan), one of the foremost archaeologists in China, is narrating a tale of Chinese explorers to a class of yawning students. An Indo-Chinese production, this one also features names from this side of the Great Wall such as Sonu Sood, Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur, who cumulatively fail to make one actor. Why? Because, why not? But those hopeful for more will be sorely disappointed. So even here, while cars somersault like it’s Rohit Shetty’s birthday, the one that has Chan behind the wheel also has a lion in the back seat.
In many ways, his action sequences are conceptualised like in an Anees Bazmee film, but executed like a Jet Li thriller.
The legendary action star’s ability to duck an attack is as impressive as his strikes and the sheer physical comedy that transpires from the same is unmatchable. Watching a Jackie Chan film is a singular experience.
