Karate Kid Legends Day 4 India Box Office: Jackie Chan-Ralph Macchio's martial arts film earns earns DISMAL Rs 50 lakh on 1st Monday
Sony Pictures' Karate Kid: Legends is off to a dim start in India, with the film failing to capitalize on the nostalgia factor or the global star power of Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. After four days of release, the martial arts drama has just earned Rs 4.05 crore nett in the market, out of which Rs 50 lakh came from today's run. Despite being part of a beloved international franchise and featuring two iconic stars reprising their roles, the film's India run is proving underwhelming. The box office numbers reflected a sharp drop today, on day 4, with just Rs 50 lakh business—a significant fall from Sunday's already modest Rs 1.50 crore. The film's India collections are not very far off from its global performance, given it has only raked in Rs 47 million since its May 30 debut. Looks like the fans were expecting a more action-loaded and emotionally hooking effort. Here's a day-wise collection breakdown of Karate Kid: Legends' India box office: Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, Karate Kid: Legends serves as a continuation of both the 2010 reboot and the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai. While the film drew some attention for merging two different timelines of the decades-spanning saga, it is failing to appeal to audiences overall, including in India, where it is particularly struggling amid both local and international competition that continues to dominate screens and viewers' attention. The film stars Ben Wang in the lead as a new protege mentored by Mr. Han (Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Macchio). The supporting cast includes Joshua Jackson, Sdaie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen. Karate Kid: Legends premiered in Mexico City earlier in May and was released globally on the aforementioned date. It has garnered mixed critical reviews, with experts praising the performances and nostalgic callbacks but disapproving of the predictable plot and pacing. With weekday numbers expected to dip further, the India leg of Karate Kid: Legends seems unlikely to recover. The film's performance may force studios to reassess the pull of legacy franchises in overseas markets and keep them running in territories where their runs are comparatively decent.

Jackie Chan's real name isn't Chan, and his father was a spy?
Jackie Chan is one of the top martial artists, actors, and filmmakers known for his acrobatic fighting style, comedic timing, and daring stunts, which he often performs himself. Born as Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong, he has had a career spanning over six decades, making him one of the most influential figures in action cinema. Now, these are the things that almost everyone knows, but did you know that Jackie Chan's father was a spy? According to his recent confession, Chan himself got to know about this fact in his 40s. And that is not it, his real name is not even Chan! Jackie Chan recalls the moment The legend spoke about this in an interview with People magazine, recalling the moment he got to know about his father, Charles, not being a simple citizen. In the video, the star pointed out his parents in a family photograph, saying, 'That's my father and my mum. I cannot remember how old I was at the time.' Later, he looked back on the moment when his father revealed the secret to him when he was driving a car. He uttered, 'My father was a very handsome guy, and my father was a spy. I got to know my father's secret when I was 40-something... One day, I was driving my car, and my father suddenly said, 'Son, I'm old. I might sleep and never wake up...

The actor revealed that he was 'very shocked' at the revelation and was unable to listen to his father Charles' explanation of his past further. The family documentary His mother, Lee-lee Chan, also had a secret past; she was an opium smuggler and gambler before moving to Hong Kong. Jackie later commissioned a documentary in 2003, 'Traces of the Dragon: Jackie Chan and His Lost Family,' which explored his parents' hidden lives. The movie showed his mother's gambling past and his father's work as a government spy during the Chinese Civil War in the 1940s. The documentary says it all, including how they fled to Hong Kong to avoid any political turmoil. It also shows Jackie Chan's struggle in the China Drama Academy. His Career Jackie Chan got into Hollywood in 1995 with a role in Rumble in the Bronx. However, it was 1998's buddy cop comedy 'Rush Hour,' opposite Chris Tucker, that established his status as a star. He got into this career as a stuntman but later got into the movies. This might be the reason for him to be so comfortable doing his own stunts, even in a movie. He started as one of the Seven Little Fortunes at the China Drama Academy, where he trained in acrobatics, martial arts, and acting. His breakthrough came with Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, followed by Drunken Master, which established his signature blend of martial arts and comedy. Beyond acting, Chan is a philanthropist, singer, and film producer, with a career spanning over decades. His influence on action cinema is unparalleled, inspiring generations of martial artists and filmmakers.
