This Diwali...It’s Roshan's fireworks everywhere… as Krrish3, the 3rd outing of Indian super hero comes to cinemas . Rakesh Roshan just steps up the quantity of VFX and budget for each sequel. Let me a share my point of view on Hrithik’s biggest film ever.
Plot: Krishh continues to protect mumbaikers whenever they are in trouble. Far away, a super genius and evil minded scientist Kaal(Vivek Oberoi) who is paralyzed continues to search for a matching DNA to get the bone marrow for his cure. He creates several mutants with the fusion of humans and animals in the process. On other hand he spreads contagious virus and later provide antidotes from his pharmaceuticals to raise money for his research.
When Kaal targets India for the spread of the virus, it’s now on hands of Krishh and his father Rohit Mehra to stop the epidemic.
Actors:
This guy Hrithik who breathes only cinema has built 8-pack physique for this film. A dutiful husband Krishna and a genius scientist Rohit Mehra and a Super hero Krishh … Hrithik plays each of these roles in absolutely lovable way.
Priyanka continues her role from the prequel. She makes her presence felt though it’s a very regular role. Kangana gets the much yummier part this time. She plays Kaaya.. A fusion of human and chameleon .. Who can transform herself to anyone .( inspired by X-Men Mystique) . Kangana makes best of it and she is fantastic in evil shades in first half and her transformation is believable.
Vivek Oberoi also has a surprise and he is very good till he is paralyzed and moving in a wheel chair. We should blame the costume designer for his funny Halloween costume in the climax
Hollywood comes to India…
While all the mutants are heavily inspired by X-Men, and the Climax borrowed from Man of Steel , Krishh is largely inspired by Hollywood flicks. But still I liked the desi set up and loved to see this mutants wandering in Mumbai . And of course superb VFX shots made with 1/20th or lesser budget of a Hollywood movie stands out. Though it’s not innovative plot.. I don’t have much complaint on the story and screenplay either as that was least expected from an Indian Sci-fi film.
Drawbacks As I see..
Rakesh Roshan apart from the revenue from the movie eyes on some branding of Krishh3 accessories. So suddenly Krishh turns shaktimaan and starts giving away Krishh bands to kids around. It’s sad that such a poor costume chosen for Kaal in climax and that costs heavily towards the end. I could still hum all the songs from “Kaho naa pyar hai” and “koi mil gaya”, but none of Rajesh Roshan's tunes in this movie has the repeat value, though I liked the “Ye Dil” a romantic duet on Kangana. Climax of Krish3 hints about the 4th installment . But this time , its better Daddy Roshan just stays back as producer.
Nevertheless …
Hrithiks brilliant Omnipresence and good support from all lead characters and fantabulous VFX rises above the flaws of the film. We have a history of pushing several ordinary films cross the 100 crore barrier. And So Roshans too deserve big time.
60/100
Wish you all a happy Diwali…
