Krrish

The story: The chars were so underdeveloped, that I got no one's name except Honey's, who was an actress I could not recognize, so it does not matter... anyway, so Hrithik, Hrithik and Priety's son, lives with his Grandmother, Rekha, in a remote Manali villiage, because she wants to keep her grandson's inherited superpowers hidden. He can jump like hell, outrun horses, climb trees, call on birds, pluck flowers out of rainbows (a weird superpower, but there you have it) and suchlike. A creepy guy keeps coming to their old hometown to search for them, but is sent away without results. Nothing more is said about that for a long time. A bunch of kids come to enjoy at Manali, one of them decides to go paragliding alone, although she is an amateur, gets caught in a tree, the harness magically loosens itself and she is about to crash into the ground when Hrithik rescues her... some Kalicharan SFX antics later, he falls in love with her, she goes home to Singapore and loses her job for fooling around with faulty equipment in Manali for too long. After she looses her job, Honey, her friend, decides to use Krishna, by making Priyanka Chopra, the paraglider, call up Krishna and tell him that she loves him and asks him to come over to Singapore... Rekha forbids him, because his father was taken up by Nassiruddin Shah, a comp geek from Techtronics who wants to make a comp that sees into the future, and makes Hrithik 1 build it, but the lab catches fire and Shah's dreams come crashing down. Back home, Priety Zinta dies for some obscure reason. The next morning, Rekha is calmed down and lets Hrithik 2 head over to Singapore... where he can go under the condition that no one comes to know of his unspecefic special abilities. He goes and cannot resist showing off his martial arts skills for the sake of a young girl who needs an operation, and whose uncle is begging on the street for money. He gets the girl money, and the greatful uncle invites him to the great bombay Circus. Hrithik goes with Chopra, there is a song and dance sequence, which ends in the circus catching fire, because of the stray flame from a flame blower - like he won't notice it, and like they won't take the precaution. The result of this is that a bunch of kids... only... no adults, get stuck in the burning big top, and Krishna finds a mask of a joker, broken in a weird way, wears it, rescues the kids, and that's that. Singapore announces a load of money to the person who is revealed to be the masked hero, and the proof is apparently the person who will produce the mask where a broken piece of it will fit in, a rescued child having obtained it. Now I am bored to tell the story...



Special FX: PRetty damn good, they used standard cables most of the times, the physics was off when he jumped over the cars, he never put enough force on his thighs to propel himself through the air, and he just seemed to glide over the surfaces... cables were used during all the jumping shots, the flying, climbing, and jumping shots were all done using standard cables, so there really wasn't any cool special FX... I was under the impression that bluescreening was used, but it wasn't so... it was good but no real signature style... infact flaws were visible in places where Roshan stumbled... the double role sequences were well done, where the two Hrithik Roshan's fingers intertwirl... animation and fx garish and not well rendered. But it was passable.. a letdowner actually... I thought they had done a lot of technically brilliant stufff when I actually saw it, but it was really done in a simple way. Most of the time it was just Hrithik Roshan moving.



The funny things
1) Priety Zinta gets impregnated across space and time, with no contact with her husband



2) Father-son meetup not well done



3) Time trick well done, where the reveal the ending




4) Krrish feels no guilt or responsibility for getting the oriental guy killed




5) Nice mask story, nice superhero story, but botched up... a very unique superhero, who, is the superhero even when he is unmasked... but just in hiding... that is he does not have a non-super-hero alter-ego... which is an fucking amazing thing to do... damn impressed by that... like Spiderman, is Peter Parker when he wakes up, Batman is Bruce Wayne when he wakes up, Superman was considered special amongst the superheroes because he wore a mask to be a normal human, to hide his superpowers, which was apparently a critique on the entire human race... Krrish goes a step further... he is Krrish all the time.



6) Amazing dancing




7) No specifications or limitations of the superpowers, ranges from catching fish with bare hands (gollum), flying through the air with a blurred background (Star Wars V), walking over buildings with effortless ease (spiderman), making a girl marry him in 40 days (a USP), converting fictitious rainbow colors in flowers (another USP), and finally, being unable to distinguish between fish and underwear, shoes and other crap (?), and the ability to converse with animals (beastmaster).
