Tags: good versus evil, horror, flashback

Plot synopsis:
Five-year-old Krishna Mehra undergoes an intelligence quotient test by a professor, who suspects that he has superpowers. His grandmother Sonia (Rekha) takes the young Krishna to a remote mountain village to conceal his unique abilities. Years later, Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) meets Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and her friend Honey (Manini Mishra) when Krishna's friend Bahadur (Hemant Pandey) takes the girls' camping crew near his home to camp. Krishna saves Priya from a hang glider accident and falls in love with her when spending time with her.
After returning home to Singapore, Priya and Honey are fired by their boss (Archana Puran Singh) for taking a non-permitted extension of 5-days in their vacation. In order to keep their jobs, Honey suggests her boss making a television program about Krishna. Aware of Krishna's love towards her, Priya calls him to join her in Singapore to ask her mother permission to marry her. Krishna's grandmother objects to this, saying that people will want to take advantage of his abilities. She then explains that his father Rohit was hired by Dr. Siddhant Arya (Naseeruddin Shah) to design a computer that could see the future in order to prevent wars and help prepare against natural disasters. However, Rohit later found out that the purpose of the computer was not for good and he destroyed the machine. Rohit reportedly died in a laboratory accident that night, with Krishna's mother dying of a broken heart shortly thereafter. Krishna promises his grandmother that he will never reveal his powers, so she permits him to go. In Singapore, during the program's production, Krishna keeps his word and reveals nothing exceptional about himself much to the disappointment of Honey and Priya, who get fired again.
Krishna later meets with kristian Li (Bin Xia), who attempts to raise funds to pay for his young sister's leg surgery. He invites Krishna and Priya to the Great Bombay Circus, where fire breaks out during the performance. Several children remain trapped in the blaze, and Krishna gets faced with the dilemma of saving the children without revealing his abilities. He dons a broken black mask and puts his jacket on inside-out, creating the persona of Krrish. Later, when Kristian Li sees Krrish fighting some goons and removing his mask, he discovers his friend Krishna as Krrish. As Krrish is being offered a reward for his deeds, Krishna asks Kristian to assume the identity, so that he can pay for his sister's surgery.
Meanwhile, Priya also comes to know that Krishna is Krrish when she sees the footage from her video camera. She and Honey decide to release the footage on TV to make Krishna a star. Krishna arrives and overhears them talking about how Priya had lied to him, and how they will reveal his identity. Just before Priya confesses to Honey that she has genuinely fallen in love with Krishna, he leaves, dejected.
After being confronted by Krishna at his hotel about what she said, Priya realises her mistake and stops her boss from revealing Krrish's identity. She then meets Vikram Sinha (Sharat Saxena), who has been searching for Krishna for years. He informs them that Krishna's father Rohit is still alive, and that after completing the machine, he and Rohit tested it and saw Siddhant holding a gun to Rohit's head. Rohit understood that Siddhant was going to kill him and then use the machine for his own selfish needs. He was able to destroy the machine, before being taken prisoner by Siddhant.
Meanwhile, in the present timeline, Siddhant has rebuilt the computer after many years. He uses it to reveal his future and sees Krrish killing him. Siddhant then kills Kristian, thinking that he is Krrish. Krishna later follows Siddhant to his island lair. When Siddhant looks into the future again, he sees the same thing, and is shocked to see Krrish still alive and on his island.
When Krrish enters the compound, there is a vicious fight with Siddhant's thugs. Krrish eventually defeats them and saves Priya and Rohit. However Vikram gets shot in the head by Siddhant. In the final scene, Krrish wounds Siddhant fatally. Before he dies, Siddhant asks Krrish who he is, and Krishna reveals himself. After revealing to Rohit that he is his son, Krishna takes Priya and his father back to India, reuniting him with Sonia. Rohit then uses his father's special computer to call Jadoo, whose spaceship can be seen from a distance.

Review: It is an accomplished blend of Indian popular storytelling , western technology and Asian action and it's historic success in India, proves how successful this fusion is.Surprisingly, unlike most Hollywood film, where technology and action takes precedence, here special effects are minimally and virtuously(often seamlessly) used and most of the emphasis is on the emotional journey of the protagonist, who is reborn as the superhero, only towards the end, shifting to sci-fi action and concluding in a mesmerising ground-air-sea helicopter chase sequence, supported by an awesome and adrenaline-pumping background score.
This is the unique Bollywood identity and film-making heritage and make no mistake about it, Krrish is an all-out Bollywood film, made for mass consumption by Bollywood fans.Krrish is a very commendable and well-made film, an all out-entertainer, with plenty of cool action and special effects, but with it's heart in it's story of Krishna becoming Krrish(played admirably by Hrithik Roshan) It's also a historic milestone in Indian film-making, and will be to Indian cinema, what Superman was to American cinema.
Mil Gaya, also directed by Rakesh Roshan, but no worries if you haven't seen the first movie - you'll be brought up to speed in no time, and Krrish will also work if it stood alone.
It's like a visit to the Kent farm, except that the whole grandmother- son relationship looked more at home vis-a-vis Spiderman's Aunt May and Peter Parker.When Krishna meets Priya (the gorgeous Priyanka Chopra, Miss World 2000) by chance during her adventure holiday camp, and he becomes smitten with her, moving the movie towards a romance.
There's also a showpiece for Hrithik to demonstrate the kung-fu skills picked up, and the fights, if compared with other Bollywood movies, have toned down its cheesy sound effects and credibility issues because of its premise (if a superhero punches you, you'll definitely fly what).And what's a Bollywood flick without song and dance?
Batman this is not.It is, however, an excellent movie that combines the core elements of the super hero genre with romance, comedy, and sci-fi, and does this quite effectively, thanks to the good dialogue, great choreography and effects, and great acting and dancing by Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra.I was thoroughly entertained and would recommend this film to just about anyone who is willing to suspend disbelief, sit back, and enjoy the show..
I was so eager to see the sequel to "Koi Mil Gaya" which in my opinion was not only a refreshing film, but had a great character written for Hrithik Roshan, and he DID deliver.
People say it is copied and what not (then again we've all come to expect that of most bollywood films), but the fact is that the movie lacked general direction and purpose, thus a lot of the scenes were a drag.
the film solely relies on Hrithik Roshan's shoulders and he delivers but this is certainly not his best as an actor though as krrish i cannot think of anybody else but him playing the role , all the other characters are just passable which include the highly talented "Rekha" who looks uncomfortable in the role of a grand mother.Priyanka Chopra looks good and is camera friendly though not much of the histrionics on her part.
You don't necessarily have to have seen Koi Mil Gaya to understand and appreciate Krrish but it does help with some things.The cinema I saw this in was packed full and everyone in the audience loved it, so much so they were cheering for the good guys and booing at the villains and giving huge applause at the end.
APSingh is the perfect B****yBoss and the Chinese guy Gin Xia for his brief stuntsOverall - Great Entertainer and yes I'd like a sequel to Krrish :-) Some Dings at KRRISH - The first child actor who plays Krishna is quite irritating (thanks to only a 5 min role), Introduciton of the character Krrish could've been a bit sooner in the film, The films length (the last song could've been cut even if it gets under your skin over time due to its softness and awesome picturization)..
god this is the 1000th time they copied holly wood first the picture they copied from daredevil second copied it off paycheck this one has a machine that can look into the future so does paycheck third when krrish was saving the girl he was walking on the damn walls copied it of spider-man this movie is bull-sh*t it's goddamn boring i hate it so much i wish there was no stupid bollywood this is the first bollywood super hero movie made and its crap and so will be the second one and it will be awfuller than this one bollywood thought this was good but it fu*kin sh*t Hollywood is the best ever it's better than that cr*p bollywood if u think u would agree with me vote for me.
First things first I do try to be as objective as possible while reviewing a movies especially movies like Krrish as they draw the maximum opinions most of which on the opposite ends of the spectrum.I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SEE THIS MOVIES FRMM MY OWN EYES AND THE EYES OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE (THE CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WHO SIT IN STALL AND THOSE WHO SEE MOVIES IN SMALL CITIES AND WHISTLE WHEN HRITIK ENTERS THE FILM OR DOES A STUNT ETC).The opposing opinions firstMY OPINIONHritik is a bloody bad actor he range of facial expressions is limited to the smiling face and the puckered modeling face.
I Don't KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING WHEN THEY SAY HE IS A GOOD ACTOR EVEN YOU AND I CAN ACT LIKE A SPASTIC ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SPASTICS BEHAVE IN MANY WAYS AND ALL YOU DO IS TO BEHAVE WEIRDLY AND BAM YOU ARE A SPASTIC, TO ACT AND SPEAK AS NORMAL PEOLE DO IS THE REAL CHALLENGE.Their TAKEWe love Hritik and we don't care if he can't act he looks great and the more we see of him to the better.
THE AUDIENCE IN BHAVANGAR LOVED IT.ANY MOVIE THAT PLEASES IT TARGET AUDIENCE IS A GREAT FILM.Watch it if you love Hritik or if you share the tastes of the small city moviegoer.+'s a few good scenes including romantic ones, best graphics in Indian cinema, Priyanka Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah.+/-'s overdone, overbearing Hritik, overused graphics, inspired even original parts not exciting.-'s to much English including credits (more abusing), bad acting by the rest of the crew even Rekha looked straight out of a 70s film, ordinary songs especially in the second half.Total 3.5/10 for me 10/10 for the public.
Altogther, the father-son duo have set 4 records in Bollywood: the first idea of a sequel, the first sci-fi Bollywood film, the first Bollywood superhero flick and the first-time Bollywood shoot in Singapore, courtesy of the Singapore Tourism Board.Hrithik is undoubted the star of the film, he steals from the very blend Priyanka Chopra but villain Naseerudin Shah and Veteran Rekha hold their own territories.
Hrithik has a great body but I wish he will stop smiling too much throughout the film as he does not exactly have the best smile in Bollywood.Besides heroine Priyanka, the music, of which only 'Ek Ladki' and the theme music stand out, is a buss.For those criticizing fellow Indians out there who lash out at the film 'inoriginality' and the 'imitation of Hollywood', they ought to be proud that India can at least churn out a special effects galore with believable superhero and an original Indian-type sentimental background story, ignoring the superhero stuff..
A runaway hit in India, where its homegrown title superhero "Krrish" will likely out-gross the much-touted "Superman Returns" import, Rakesh Roshan's sequel to his madly successful sci-fi extravaganza "Koi ...
It's only then thatit starts to get entertaining and gripping, although one more song spoils it slightly.However, if these flaws are kept aside, Krrish is a good, entertaining superhero movie that features breathtaking action sequences and an emotionally resonant performance from Hrithik Roshan and Rekha.
The first half is however a bit dragging missing the innocence of "Koi Mil Gaya." Overall, the film is impressive in the technical aspects like photography and special effects which is seldom seen in Hindi movies which makes it Rakesh Roshan's best effort though it contains the ordinary clichés of Hindi Movies like the regular villains and improbabilities.Rating: 3 stars out of 4.
for first half it just a romantic movie hero chases heroine like all other Hindi movie at end filmmaker realize time to end the movie so hero go after villain and take his revenge someone at least tell me what is new in this movie expect is Hrithik Roshan hair style music is worst so please guys beware before u watch this movie.
i was very exicted about this first bollywood "super hero" genre movie,but it disappointed me.it was like other typical bollywood commercial films.the first scene of introduction of hrithik roshan as a superhero looks childish,when he make race with a horse.they make him run in slow motion,showing his muscles,with the typical kind of background music (which is a necessary thing in bollywood).most of the action scenes are in slow motion and physics is not very good.some time when he jumps in air it looks he is hanging with ropes.this movie is good for the people who likes light entertainment.but it is not for the people who are serious about genre,pure action and real physics in movies..
However, judging from filmmaker point of view, it is so bad that I even don't know where to begin.Apart from wonderful music and bollywood-trademark-dance scenes, the film is made out of artistic-wannabe-but-surreal-dialogues, pieces-of-badly-executed-Hollywood-lookalike-actions, some shots were lit in a way that looks like it was superimposed, or maybe they were, plus over-the-top camera angle movements.
This is one of the best movies ever.The movie is wow from beginning to end.The special effects are excellent.THe cinematography is excellent.There is no scence that drags.The story is brilliant.It is the sequel of Koi mil Gaya(2003).Rohit and Nisha are married.One day Rohit goes to Singapore.He goes to a lab.Somee problem happens.At the same time Nisha gives birth to a child.The lab explodes.He(rohit)dies.Nisha too dies.The baby is named Krishna.The film opens when Sonia found out that Krishna has a brilliant Iq.He takes him far away(Possibly to Himachal Pradesh).Years later he grows up.He meets Priya and falls in love.He goes to Singapore.One day on a circus night a few children's are inside the blazing tent.He wants to save them.He takes a mask and becomes KKrish.Dr Arya wants him.The stunts are MINDBLOWING.Hrithik delivers a breathtaking performance.Priyanka looked pretty as usual but sadly she was just about okay.Rekha is okay too.Nasserdun delivers a good performance.The music is faboulous.A Must see Rating-9/10.
Well I seen the movie now.It is good but still not that good.I think some things work and many things not.Main thing is that we cannot see much more action that we expected and see lots of romance and drama that we did not.Main thing is that in first half story moves very slow and in second half very fast.Romance scenes between Hrithik and Priyanka did not work out and that is main problem.
In second half story of Rohit, Krishna becomes Krrish and story between Priayanka and Krishna going together and it confuses sometimes.Rakesh Roshan also did not gives more detail on character of Krrish and his powers.What powers he possess and what are weakness and also no details on character of Rohit and his wife.Why Rohit does not possess that powers which his son gets.Well there are some good points also in movie like twist of rohit is live and also how krishna becomes accidental hero in circus fire.
Action is very less but it is good.Hrithik is main actor in whole movie and he done superb job but Priyanka disappoints and therefore first half seems very slow.
The movie is finely structured so that there is no conflict with its prequel 'Koi Mil Gaya' and runs with a fine pace, barring the songs that are a big dampener compared to earlier two Hrithik films, including the mega one 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai'.
But to give devil his due, watch Krrish because it boasts of great acting, tight screenplay, seductive cinematography, enthralling stunts, effective story telling, bull's-eye direction and because you loved 'Koi Mil Gaya' and Hindi Cinema is ready for sequels!
Hollywood uses its studio power to spend millions on special effects, Indian films don't have that kind of money - exactly the reason why they attempt to tug at your emotions...Yes I loved Krrish.Its the story of the son of Rohit Mehra, the mentally challenged kid in Koi Mil Gaya, who receives powers from an alien called Jadoo.
Whoever said about there being no comic books in India does'nt realise mo one was going out to make a comic book movie but all that the makers were trying to do was to dish out something different for Indian audiences who are sick of all those stupid lovey-dovey movies.Yes,there are a lot of clichés here.Yes there are many scenes in which it is evident that the makers turned towards Hollywood for "Inspiration" but so what .They made a damn good movie .The acting was really good .Mostly the movie focused on Hrithik but the rest of the cast especially Naseer also showed there class .The story had a number of plot holes which I am not going to disclose but you simply had to accept them.But the songs were when it was difficult to watch the movie.All in all a really good movie..
Film: Krrish Cast: Rekha, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Nasserudin Shah, Puneet Isaar Director: Rakesh RoshanWhen I saw Hrithik dancing like a kangaroo in the song Dekho Pawan bhi...Chori Chori, Chupke- Chupke...I made up my mind that 'I will not watch the film'.
Where Hollywood superhero movies like Batman, Spiderman, and Superman have villains with an odd, powerful physical strength, Krrish's villain has a power of a different dimension--time.
Must say a real change in Bollywood movies really appreciate The Roshan to come out with a new idea rather than just old stupid love stories.But a sequel which gave Hrithik a different start and will be known as "Krrish" .And a role model for every kid and now the sequel continues with "KRRISH" just like "Superman" and "Spiderman" and its a never ending for Hrithik Roshan .
I dreaded going for Krrish not because i don't like the theme but that it may not live up to my expectations.I was astounded by the technical aspects and the details of character Rakesh Roshan gave his son.Any superhero enthusiast will know that all the ingredients in this movies are mandatory for any superhero.Mind you the director did not have a base to build up on for a superhero except his prequel.Its as different from Koi Mil Gaya as Rohit is from Krrish.Introduction scenes are pleasant.It starts off mellowly and keeps changing gears every 15-20 min.Hrithik is the heart and soul of the movie.No other hero in Bollywood or Hollywood can emulate his emotions or his inimitable style.The sequences are reminiscent of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon style movies.The scene where the hero heroine descend after the rescue is beautiful.The movie moves predictably as the target audience is such.Moving on to more important stuff.As you would have noticed in trailers the superpowers are given special care to.Rakesh Roshan has made sure that Krrish is no Superman or Batman or Spiderman.He does not fly or use ropes or webs to move from one place to another.He just jumps and bicycles in AIR!!This sole aspect is unnoticed by the many detractors but only hardcore comic fans will notice =>.For a 40 day martial workshop the performance of Hrithik is outstanding by any measure.As usual he is not satisfied by giving his 110% he always gives 200% for any performance.He succeeds too.He gets smitten by the reporter-on-vacation as its his first contact with outsiders.He follows her to Singapore and eventually the movie has many twists and turns(which are predictable for seasoned movie goers)but decent enough as passable.The twist in last 20min is laudable as no one would have seen it coming.The ending was very satisfactory.The movie has some cons too.Some scenes were too comic book like and could have been avoided a.k.a. some kicks,punches and a few multiple attacks within same second could have been avoided.It is a bit long at nearly 180 minutes.Songs are average but a treat to watch as Hrithik delivers effortless dance sequences.The best technical and action effort to ever to grace an Indian screen.Kudos to Rakesh-Hrithik pair.They click together well and they have now been time tested.This genre was an untouched territory but now we have a worthy team to take India into this.Here's wishing them a blockbuster on their hands and hoping desperately to see many more sequels of Krrish..
made me happier than when I saw the Main Hoon Na final fight scene (which is worth a see, it's just so ridiculously bad, it's awesomely good!) Thank you Rakesh Roshan for bringing something different into Bollywood, it may be a crappy movie, but it looks professional, and flashy, and it has just enough plot a nd action to make me happy..
(As always...you get your money's worth with Bollywood films.) It's one of those movies you will want to watch several times.The Roshans just keep getting better and better.
It was only in the scenes that had her in it did I feel like I was not watching a parody of a superhero movie.Roshan couldn't find a nice balance between the superhero aspect of Krrish and the romance aspect of it, plus having to establish the background of the film.
There was also a bullet time type effect which didn't look too bad.Overall it was a good movie and it was a good try from the Roshans, the Indian movie audience will love it, I can already see little kids jumping around like Krrish.
