The Way of Miracles

Miracles (Chinese: 奇蹟; pinyin: qí jī; Jyutping: kei zik; released under various titles for several territories worldwide) is a 1989 Hong Kong crime action comedy film starring and directed by Jackie Chan, and written by Chan and Edward Tang. It is set in 1930s Hong Kong and is an adaptation of Frank Capra's Lady for a Day (1933) and Pocketful of Miracles (1961), which in turn were based on "Madame La Gimp", a 1929 short story by Damon Runyon. Miracles features many well-known Hong Kong actors, including Anita Mui and Wu Ma, and is considered one of Jackie Chan's most sophisticated directorial efforts. Chan is an ardent fan of Hollywood musicals, and Miracles pays a tribute to that genre. According to his autobiography, Chan stated that this was one of his favorite films he has made. The film was remade in Hindi as Singh Is Kinng with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.
