Review of Krrish

Krrish (2006)
6/10
Indian Superman Soup
28 November 2006
Krrish's script writer (or whoever conceptualized the character of Krrish) watched lots of super man and sci-fi foreign movies and turned Krrish, the hero and the movie a mixture of all. Sample these:

  • Krrish dresses like Zorro (the mask, the leather overcoat in 30 degree hot Singapore). - Krrish runs in the air and jump across and over like Incredible Hulk. - Krrish can jump over/ across city landmarks like Spiderman (eg, when he sneaks into Dr Arya's lab.) - Krrish runs as fast as Dash Incredible of the Incredibles. (eg, where he avoids bullets from Dr Arya) - Krrish can fight like a Kung Fu warrior (when he fights Dr Arya's guards on an island) or like Jackie Chan (eg, when he fights motorcycle riders. (The lead, Hrithik trained for 1 month+ under the famous Tony Cheng of Hong Kong.) - Krrish can, of course, sing like an Indian hero. - Krrish's father Rohit builds a computer that can see future like Precogs of Minority Report. He works on intangible keyboards like in that movie. Rohit is kept in suspended animation by Dr Arya as the convicts in Minority Report. - Krrish's father Rohit can read like autistic Raymond in Rain Man (Rohit finishes Dr Arya's book in minutes.) - Krrish's father Rohit meets with a left-behind alien (as in ET, the Hollywood movie which stole the idea, some credibly claim, from India's Satyajit Ray.)


Cut the dance sequence, reduce the length to 90-120 minutes. The movie may be accepted by global audience and I would rate it 7/10.

As an aside, Singapore government invested in the movie which was half shot in Singapore. Krrish is/will be a case study for business schools (Indian Institute of Management-Indore, Hongkong University, Harvard Business School.)
