THE KARATE KID: KO!

IIPM Prof Arindam Chaudhuri on Our Parliament and Parliamentarians' Work

TSI Five-O: Old wine in a new Chinese bottle!

We did not need a remake of 'The Karate Kid', but once you manage to get past that point, and view the film without comparing it with the original 80s hit film (despite the number of dialogues and scenes lifted straight from the original), you can get quite a kick from this film. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's son Jaden plays Dre, who moves to a new country with his mother, and as he masters martial arts (kung-fu and not karate) to get the better of school bullies, Jaden packs quite a punch with his performance. Jackie Chan plays an introverted maintenance man (Mr Han) and kung-fu master, who rescues Jaden from getting beaten by the bullies and subsequently trains him for an open kung-fu tournament. The 12-year-old Jaden surprises us with his acting, with the way he sculpts his body, and how he delivers his punches and kicks so convincingly. From now on, Jaden cannot be addressed as just another star-kid, for he's a star himself!

Director Harald Zwart has included some of the much-loved moments from the original film, re-tailored to suit the new canvas. Tinkering with the old scenes might not go down well with the fans of the earlier film, who might find immense gaps in the style of teaching adopted by Mr Han as against that of Mr Miyagi, which though equally eccentric, aren't as ingenious or convincing. Also, with the children being much younger than the kids in the original film, it is a bit unnerving to see them exchanging blows with each other.

By setting it among the breathtaking locales of China, the filmmakers lend a fresh, new feel to the film. Jackie Chan gives a restrained performance; the fighting sequences are gripping and well choreographed. People young and old would find this remake to be quite entertaining and engaging. 'The Karate Kid' is poised to win the box office tournament too.
