British army sergeants Ballantine, Cutter and MacChesney serve in India during the 1880s, along with their native water-bearer, Gunga Din. While completing a dangerous telegraph-repair mission, they unearth evidence of the suppressed Thuggee cult. When Gunga Din tells the sergeants about a secret temple made of gold, the fortune-hunting Cutter is captured by the Thuggees, and it's up to his friends to rescue him.

While the racism is problematic, this really is a rollicking action/adventure bromance with undeniable chemistry among the three leads.

This film is incredibly racist, from the colonizer's perspective, and it doesn't exactly respect women. Unsurprisingly, Rudyard Kipling - who wrote the poem that this film was based upon - was an imperialist. That being said and acknowledged, I am a Cary Grant fan and the humor & adventure really worked for me. I enjoyed this film while being hyperaware of its faults. Here's a reddit comment that I appreciated which shares further perspective on the film: https://tinyurl.com/45yp9etk

Had some really fun moments, especially the time spent with the three principals. Their easy camaraderie was fun to watch and the humor often held up to modern sensibilities. What doesn't hold up, of course, was the racism and colonialism and that all made this significantly less fun to watch.
