Krrish

Hurray! There comes a movie, finally, on this blog after a long time which is 4.0. Yay!

The trailer makes you think of it as a well-hyped movie, which raises the expectations, arises curiosities in one and all alike. What's up with Hrithik this time? The actor who had a marvellous launch pad in Kaho Na Pyar Hai and the one who was at one point even written off because of his series of flops like Yaadein, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon.


The music launch of the movie was not impressive however. Rajesh Roshan hasn't managed anything as good as Kaho Na Pyaar Hai in a long time. Even Koi-Mil-Gaya was mediocre. So is music of Krrish. Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan though think that the music might catch up along with the story but I suspect it. But that doesn't matter. The movie rocks.

An out and out entertainer, a thorough paisa-vasool movie. All kids in the nation would just adore this movie. Everything about the movie is just amazing. Now, now, there are parts in the movie which are influenced from a lot of English movies but then there are scenes which are original too. HRITHIK is too good to be true. His charisma leaves no one untouched.

Farah Khan does a good job in the choreography department. Hrithik Roshan's wardrobe is impressive and I should say much better than what it was in its prequel - Koi Mil Gaya.

Hrithik has essayed a rock solid award winning performance. He easily steals show right under the nose of solid actors like Naseeruddin Shah. Not only he essays wonderful performances under his father's directorial ventures but also seems to have matured with age. If the movie deserves a 4.0, the credit goes to only Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Roshan, and the screenplay.


Story: Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) has inherited all powers given by Jaadoo to his father, Rohit. Krishna has lost his parents in early childhood. Daadi (Rekha) brings up Krishna. She is very protective of him and wouldn't let him go to the real bad world. She relocates to a very small place to avoid attention to Krishna's magical powers.

Enter Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and Krishna is head over heels in love with her. Priya visits Krishna's home town along with her friends for camping and returns back to her home in Singapore leaving Krishna in a distressed state. Priya's friend Honey forces Priya to fake false love to Krishna to save their job. They work for Star Plus and need a scoop and they want to telecast Krishna's magical powers to the entire world.

Unaware of these lies, Krishna exchanges heated arguments with his Dadi who wouldn't allow him to step out of their home town. This is when Dadi is forced to tell him the entire truth (how he lost his parents, etc.). Krishna respects his Dadi a lot more and promises to hide his powers from the world.

Enter Singapore. Dr. Siddhant Arya, (Naseeruddin Shah), the bad guy wants to become God. (Oh, how much I miss Mr. Amrish Puri here. Reminds me of Mogambo so much, hey but I am not complaining). Who can stop him? Krishna? No. Enter Krrish. After all Dadi's promise needs to be kept.

Story is pretty simple with a surprise element stored for you. But the effects and Hrithik Roshan make you bite your nails till the end. I am all excited to see this movie again... Oh, I do not feel like seeing Superman any more now... I am sure I won't find it as interesting as Krrish.

It would be hard for any actor (especially any superhero) to meet the levels set so high by Hrithik in this movie. Whether its muscle-powers, whether it is fighting the goons, or whether it is displaying the plethora of magical powers he possesses, ... it's all awesome!

You still reading this blog... Go watch the movie!!! :)

Rating: 4.0/5.0
