Brilliant story and character moments. This is made with love. It setups up for BIG things to come in the most exciting way I have seen since 2010.

Despite receiving diverse feedback, many agree that Ben Wang has great potential and can become a great asset to the industry. Even Ralph Macchio stated, “His work ethic, his preparedness, his not taking anything for granted- he will be this generation’s Karate Kid.” The release of the film is also a great moment for India as the Hindi dubbed version will feature Ajay Devgn’s son, Yug Devgn, as the voiceover artist for Ben Wang.
