Krrish :3

I’m sure this comes quite very late, but I did not have the guts to see the film earlier. Yes, I saw the whole thing from start to end (No, I’m just joking. I skipped the songs, and also used various sequences as breaks to stretch myself). Krrish 3. To keep it short, I’d say that the film is good, and so is Hrithik Roshan, but no, Krrish isn’t. Now that is sure confusing, as Krrish is Hrithik, or the other way around means the same. Well, they are, but Krrish is not original, Hrithik’s acting is, and it’s good enough. Now let’s delve into the film and how it has been thought and made with lots of pasina and mehnat and thought.

So, starting with Krrish, who is obviously played by Hrithik Roshan. He could jump to a height of some feet over the ground in the last part, but I guess we all missed the part where he practiced very hard and managed to get better powers (Krrish 2). Miraculously, Krrish can now jump over whole buildings, and tall ones especially. Sitting in the dark, I go like, “That’s fine, just a minor glitch maybe, let’s go ahead”.

It all thickens, and I can see a whole lot of Hollywood being put together in a single film. Krrish fights an array of mutants, manvars, (around 4 maybe- I didn’t have the courage to count them properly) who have the powers of the X Men mutants shared between them. Notably, there were Mystique and Toad, with their desi names of Kaya and Striker. Krrish dies once, and is reborn via a very innovative dumb experiment with light which involves the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave, and its propagation transfers energy. And as he is reborn, Krrish suddenly obtains the power of flight and the powers to control moving things as well. Isn’t that so awesome? -_-

The main villain of the film is a crazed scientist who was an experiment himself, and is Krrish’s brother genetically. So Kaal, the villain, is a handicapped version of Magneto for more than half the film, and he controls and shakes and moves and breaks with his only two mobile fingers. And later, with a bone marrow transplant, he evolves into a genetic mixture of Magneto and Robocop, but a completely desi one. I would use desi as his helmet has its bars bent and it looks as though he is fashioned from scrap.

Kaya is really a mutant, as the character has been made from a mix of Mystique and the Catwoman. Resembling Priyanka as Krrish-na’s wife in the latter half of the film, she predictably falls for Krrishna, and she changes from the evil shape shifter to a noble spirit taking Krrish to Kaal’s hideout. I don’t wish to talk about the Toad, or must I call him Striker, who steals ice cream from cones. That is something very new and hasn’t ever been thought of! A mutant frog, who loves ice cream- truly out of the world. :3

Other highlights in the film were that the Mumbai Police arrives in their customary Qualis to the scene just as the villain sets foot. And that is even before the media (wow!). After this arrive the commandos in helicopters, as though they were waiting for take-off in the next lane (maybe Kaal had warned them earlier and they had a signal decided between them, ‘cause even the fittest of commandos need 5-10 minutes to discuss action plans).

But, there was one dialogue which I will remember forever from the film. A small child, after being saved by Krrish asks that, “Tumhare paas mask hai, itne saare powers hai, mere paas kya hai?”

What Krrish said then was innovative, strong, and motivating, but all I wanted to say there was, “Babaji ka thullu”. :P ;)

So, Krrish is an extremely well-thought and original story and is a brainchild of Rakesh Roshan. No! It’s a scam! Earning 200 crores+ by using Hollywood concepts, ideas, and even whole scenes is cheating! Going on about the other words I used, well thought comes from the energy put to watch so many Hollywood flicks, and to mix the right characters, and to add the desi touch. Original was put there just to puzzle you, and I was kidding when I said that. Krrish is really the brainchild of Rakesh Roshan, but he derives all his components from overseas.

PS: I saw Thor 2 as well, and just giving a thought, I’d say that maybe Krrish 4 will have something concerning other worlds.

PPS: Krrish is the only superhero who incessantly has tears in his eyes.

As a last sentence, and after lot of thought, I must chant, “God, Allah aur Bhagwan, Kyun banaya Rakesh Roshan jaisa chapu insaan?”
