I had lot of expectations from this movie, infact I have never been so excited about any movie. Last Sunday, first thing I did was, book this movie’s tickets.ÂÂ
Let me not tell everything in first few lines….
Okay, so the movie is about Krrish, Krishna Mehra (Hritik Roshan) son of Rohit Mehra, who has special powers like his dad but her grand mother does not want the world to see Krishna’s special powers, she did not want her grand son to die like his son and daughter in law. (Yes, they both are shown dead in the movie) Then, Priya (Priyanka Chopra) enters the movie, Krishna falls in love with Priya, they play around here and there, finally Priya leaves for her hometown Singapore. She works there as news reporter and our Mr. Hero reaches there (Priya calls him in there to meet her mom for the marriage proposal, but the real reason for calling him is, to save her job)
Krishna does some good human being job in Singapore and becomes Krrish (saves life of people and all that stuff), now here comes Dr. Arya in the picture, the person who had hired Rohit Mehra to make a computer which can predict the future but Rohit dies in an accident and his dream to make that computer also dies. But he still manages to develop a computer with the research work of Rohit. But the intentions of that guy were not good….
Okay, I will stop it now, rest of the part is for you to watch…
So how was the movie?
Story: Good story, some of the parts are predictable but some are not…first half of the movie was kind of stretched, everyone was waiting for Krrish to show some “good stuff” but all we got was, Krrish dancing and jumping in the green fields….but fair enough…2nd part did the job of what was missing in the first…
Music: I was in impression that, the music will do well gradually but I was wrong, I could see many people going out while the songs were on…I liked only one song, Sanan Sanan was the name I guess. btw background music of the movie is total ripoff from lounge and English songs.
Acting: HRITIK ROCKED!! ROCKED AND ROCKED, award winning material…. Rest of the actors did their job well, nothing great. But the movie belonged to Hritik. And yeah, I hated Priya friend, Honey (Manini De Mishra), I just didn’t liker her at all…..
Action: I want to be Krrish and jump the way he was doing, excellent action scenes, just like any Hollywood movie. Very good piece of work there.
So what about the stars?, Well, I would give it 4 stars out of 5. I would have loved to give it 5 stars if they had good first half and some decent music.
The movie will have mixed reactions, the movie won’t be liked by the people who will go with the thinking that “hindi movies have brainless stuff and we cannot digest it” but I have one message for them “Comeon dude, it’s a bloody fiction, how can you expect anything like this to be real.. lol”
One suggestion, to enjoy the movie fully, watch it in theatre not on your video player or on PC.

Deep i just watched it..
I loved the movie.. The reason is i didnt expect a out and out action movie.. From the review by sukhanya verma on rediff.. it was clear that the super hero will make his entry in the second half..
Could the movie have been any better? Yes. The superhero deserved more footage.. Atleast the second half should have belonged to him.. But he makes a impact only in the second half.. The love story too is half baked.. could have been better..
Hrithik was GOD as Krrish the superhero, the old man, KMG’s rohit and he played lover boy to perfection too… Movie belongs to hrithik.. All the rest are average to bad.. Priyanks is average, her friend hams big time, naseer is good so is rekha..
4.5 / 5
5 stars to hrithik.. flawless performance..

Hi Deep,
Watched First Day/First Show @ Sathyam Cinemas (Chennai), had to say the movie is a good entertainment during the weekends specially you can take kids, they will enjoy them a lot as we did.
If you have noticed, you could have come across various advertisements/sponsors in the movie with no relevance at all which was a negative point according to me and people were indeed confused as to why suddenly these products appeared.
Some of sponsors/advertisement products I noticed:
* Cardbury Bornvita
* Tide
* Lays Chips
* Fairever Cream
* Siyarams
* Samsung
* Great Bombay Circus
* Hero Honda
and couple of others which I don’t really remember now. The movie in some places really outsmarted Spiderman and Superman, not leaving the Batman alone either.
Some of the stunts were really amazing, the climax had some good stunts, but I guess Rakesh Roshan has spent some extra money at places where they dont need it.
One of the spectacular scene was during the first meet of Krish Lee (good that directory managed to keep the same as hero’s name with addition of Lee). My favorite dialogue in movie is “Every Human who fights for a Good cause is a HERO”.
Also he adds “You fight (work hard) for your sister (who needs money for operation), so you are a hero”.
Hrithik eyes are just awesome, specially during climax, the director has spent server hours focusing his eyes too close and the makeup of father Hrithik was just awesome.
Will i ever forget the dance movements of Hrithik, they just stealed the show, Priya aka Priyanaka Chopra was a awesome Glamdoll for the movie and yea I hated the Priya’s friend in the movie as deep points out. She looks damny ugly in all costumes specially her face looks like a dump ass.
Rekha performance was good, but she could have done a better role indeed. The photography was another excellent one which showed the majestic look of Singapore and some locations in india either but i assume majority of movie goes around Singapore.
During the first half of the movie, some the places where Hrithik and Priyam romance are just like Windows XP wallpepers, believe me they looked crap, too artificial.
At end, Krish = Spiderman + Batman + Superman + Tarzan + Hellboy + not forgetting out dear “Shaktiman”.
The final chase of villans where he keeps climbing buildings, swims in water faster than any fish could do is a place where spidy, batman, superman fail :D! Hrithik steals the show, its right time Hollywood director have a note of Indian movies so they could perform better than us.
In total a good Entertainment Movie which shows the skills of a hero Krish. I enjoyed the show anyways. How is my small review Deep :)?
Cheers,
Dreamchaser

Nice one Vinay
Yes, I did notice the ads, specially the lays one which was hurting my eyes every other time….but I think they showed the ads in a smarter way….I have seen movies where actors advertise by speaking about the product (Pass Pass in Yadein) but here they have shown the products like we use them in daily routine…
The way of advertising was smart but they showed Lays, just too many times…
Deep
24-Jun-2006 at 10:46 am
Ashok - The 2nd part of the Krrish will have more of action, as they said, this is birth of the super hero, the movie was a love story…
2nd part of Krrish will be…yea i know what could happen in it
but If I say it here, it will be a very good spoiler…so won’t say it….
24-Jun-2006 at 2:08 pm
I am going for it today!!
24-Jun-2006 at 2:21 pm
Hmm.. Nice review. Ill try and watch it as soon as possible.
24-Jun-2006 at 2:57 pm
“Krissh” was a great entertainment movie with a novel concept and special effects for a Hindi film, but the introduction in the beginning was a bit protracted. It felt pretty drawn-out with the camping trip, Priyanka and Hritik meeting, and eventually leaving for Singapore. Plus, all of the good deeds Krissh does in Singapore lead him to becoming a masked superhero, but it felt a bit long-drawn. The introduction could have been shorter, proportionally, to the “action” part of the film, where the story really takes off with the story of Krissh’s father and Dr. Arya. Otherwise, the special effects and story line were good, although the special effects were a little overdone at times, such as the times Hritik is shown running around at the speed of light, but good nonetheless. A good film for the whole family.
24-Jun-2006 at 5:48 pm
i m going it for on tuesday.
24-Jun-2006 at 9:51 pm
good review deep. saw the movie today…and liked it. first of its kind in hindi cinema. songs were disappointing..but on the whole, it was good. esp,hrithik…he has an amazing on screen presence.
24-Jun-2006 at 9:54 pm
good review deep…the movie works big time. songs are disappointing. but direction and acting are good. hrithik has an amazing on screen prescence.
24-Jun-2006 at 11:16 pm
Deep,.
Inded they were smart, but consider the granny house (Hrithik’s Grandma - Rekha), their house had no modern stuffs that are used in metropoliti cities, but just Cadbury Bournvita in a table, thats good, but what about a rack where she has all types of old vessels and suddenly in middle you could see Tide (lol).
Just kidding, but still advertising played a good role in Krish and thats a best way to take some money out from what he spent in crores.
Cheers,

25-Jun-2006 at 10:17 am
I hate to comment the same old thing for every review that you post…. I love Priyanka Chopra
and maybe I’ll also watch the movie soon.
25-Jun-2006 at 11:39 am
[...] Deep is mightily impressed by this movie - some of the few good reviews this movie has got perhaps in blogosphere. Says deep: So what about the stars?, Well, I would give it 4 stars out of 5. I would have loved to give it 5 stars if they had good first half and some decent music. [...]
25-Jun-2006 at 3:08 pm
Hmm.. Still waiting to find some time for this movie. Ever since I made the mobile game, I was anxious about this movie. Hope it works well, and so does my game
Hopefully I will get some time this week for Krrish.
26-Jun-2006 at 11:36 am
wow,excellent review.I wasn’t hopin so much for this one.But after all this,i guess i should watch this movie.
26-Jun-2006 at 11:44 am

26-Jun-2006 at 5:22 pm
krrish is the best film that i have ever seen. hi folks i am zarfisha from pakistan and i am a big fan of hrithik . i just love him. he is only actor in india after amitabh. i love his acting in krrish. i dont care wht anybody else says.
26-Jun-2006 at 10:11 pm
watch in theatre not on pirated vcd …….i
26-Jun-2006 at 10:15 pm
any chances ok krrish-2 folks
27-Jun-2006 at 12:30 am
THE BLUNDER,
this movie is the cheap copy of all the hollywood movies. i cant belive that hrithik actually did this movie.its the stupidest movie i have ever seen.it was copied from all english movies like batman, superman, spider man and paycheck and that too in very cheap way.this sould be the most crappiest movie one could ever see.
27-Jun-2006 at 4:42 am
I watched krrish today. The action is good, direction and sure the acting of the superstar, most handsome Indian man hrithik. When he enters the scene we will watch nobody rather than him. Priyanka is beautiful but needs a lot improvement. She needs to really study what acting is. And her friend butt headed ugly goose can turn down the film. Is that hrithik’s cousin or what? Didnt they get any girls!!! hmmm.. We cannot really say it is a waste movie. If one loves hrithik he should watch the movie for sure. But it is not an excellent piece of work.

KRRISH MOVIE REVIEW By: K Z Musafir
HE CAN’T FLY…HE CAN’T SPIN A WEB…HE DOESN’T WEAR A BELT…HE DOESN’T HAVE A SIDE KICK, BECAUSE HE IS KRRISH, INDIA’S SUPERHERO, WITH HIS OWN STUNTS AND POWERS!!!
Welcome to the 21st century bollywood, where competetive movies that frequently enter the Oscar library are created. Not only that, but many of bollywood movies have hollywood ‘look’ or even better. Ram Gopal Varma started a factory of movies with no songs, while Sanjay Gupta brought his dark-gangster flicks, both creating hollywood in the Indian audience. But, today, Mr. Rakesh Roshan, India’s acclaimed and awarded director, has progressed the trend with Bollywood’s FIRST and the world’s first un-comic superhero…… KRRISH!
The father and son duo are back to create a hat-trick with their last two award-winning movies Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, and the prequal Koi Mil Gaya. Krrish is Bollywood’s first superhero, even after the super hit film Mr. India (not released as a superhero film). Many kids from ages 3 to 60 have waited for this blockbuster which should create boxoffice history.
To start of, everyone wants to see if this bollywood superhero can match up to the American superheroes. And the final answer is… KRRISH lives up to the expectations and even more! The film works big time and that’s only because of Hrithik and Roshan Sr.
KRRISH starts of where Koi Mil Gaya ends. The movie starts when Krishna’s grandmother discovers that Krishna has inherited the powers of his father, Rohit, or even more. Free as a bird, he runs like the wind…Like an eagle, he soars across rivers and mountain tops…As a lion, he conquers rugged rocks without fear…
Priya [Priyanka Chopra] comes into his life and becomes his world. When she beckons him to Singapore, he follows her there. Little realizing it is destiny that has summoned him. Having sheltered him from the world, his grandmother Sonia [Rekha] reluctantly gives in to him and lets him follow his heart.
In Singapore, Dr. Siddhant Arya [Naseeruddin Shah], the megalomaniac scientist, is on the verge of changing the future forever. Only one man stands between Dr. Siddharth and his destructive dreams. Only one man has the power to block his ruthless ambitions. Krrish.
KRRISH starts of with showing off all of his powers, in between every scene he encounters Priya. The first hour of the film is exactly like how Tarzan met Jane. Yet, when Krishna jumps through the trees like the animated Tarzan, the effect surpasses everything other superheroes have ever done. The second half shows Krishna discovering his superpowers and the story of his dead parents and Jadoo. The love story continues and moves on to the circus scene, includes an experienced choreographed song,where Krishna finally becomes KRRISH. At the end, the last 20 minutes, the collision between good and evil is supported with never seen special effects and stunts.
There are many must see sequences in KRRISH:
* The scene when Krishna rescues Priya.
* A few comedy scenes in the first half, when Priya thinks Krishna is a ghost.
* The scene where Krishna catches fish.
* The scene where Krishna performs in the middle of the Singapore street and befriends Kristian. Looks like Hrithik may have performed the stunts himself in that scene.
* Dil Na Diya song, and the scene after that in which the circus is on fire and Krishna, to hide his identity, wears a mask and becomes KRRISH.
* The motorcycle fight scene, which include the best stunt in the whole film.
* And, when KRRISH runs,jumps, and swims to Dr. Arya’s island
However, no movie is perfect, KRRISH also has its negative points:
* It takes just about 2 hours for KRRISH the masked superhero to enter the film.
* There’s no more than 40 minutes of KRRISH, and an hour of action in this 3 hour flick.
* The songs and the love story slow the pace of the film.
* Krishna is mostly called the masked man rather than KRRISH.
* It is wrong in a way to call KRRISH an Indian superhero eventhough he was discovered in Singapore and saved everyone from there.
But the sequences even without the action keep you entertained.
The script, the songs, and the emotional scenes make this superhero film completely different from the other superhero films. However, surprisingly, KRRISH ’s action and special effects are better than Batman, Superman, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Dare Devil, etc. And it matches up to Spiderman and Spiderman 2, only because those movies had more action.
A standing applause to Rakesh Roshan for making us proud with this risky film which is sure to make box office history. He has taken all his time to cheer his fans and show that India is no far from Hollywood. Tony Ching Siu Tung’s action is unbelievable(especially the fight in the island, the swimming, and the bike scene) and put you to the edge of your seat (I was smiling whenever KRRISH performed his daredevil stunts as if i was in the movie too). The songs are good, but lengthy and not fun to watch, except for Dil NA Diya. The background music is brilliant and suits the Indian theme.
But the whole movie belongs to Hrithik’s performance who should make a great come back. Another award winning performance. Priyanka is okay. Naseeruddin Shah excels in his villianous role as Dr. Arya, especially in the sequences where he acts like a mad man and talks about his “Breaking News”. Rekha’s satisfactory, as well as everyone else.
KRRISH excels big time and is worth a watch all the way. It should be the biggest hit for this year as it is very new to the Indian audience. The film is purely universal with its emotional script, comic dialogues, and better than Hollywood special effects. “Hollywood, you have met your match.” This is a film many people would be willing to pay to see it again. It’s just a few more years when the Indian audiences will face KRRISH II.
**** - MAX!!
How’s my review Deep!
28-Jun-2006 at 1:28 am
Well I went to movie with very less expectations.
In fact I went for the movie just for the sake of my wife who loves Hindi movies.
The First half of the movie was so boring it can put anybody to sleep.
Plus the comedy sequences seem to be aimed at people living UP & rest of North India, nowehere else is such lame humour liked.
The Songs were yuck….( Of couirse It was Rajesh Roshan cant expect anything better)
The Second half of the movie was better because atleast we got to see the Indian Super Guy in action.
The Action sequences are decent by hindi movie standard.
But this superhero has no pain, angst he discovers his mission in the last 20 minutes or so of the movie.
The Computer which can predict the future part was so lame.
I thinks its time bollywood outsourced script writing to hollywood writers.
All in all its a good effort.
28-Jun-2006 at 8:40 am
Well ! i dont have a knack of criticizing like others do,but still what i want to say is krissh is definately a rocker who with his superhuman efforts is able to excite us.And the whole credit goes to hritik who has with his acting made other actors “obsolete”.
keep it up Hritik aka Krissh.
28-Jun-2006 at 11:01 am
Hey K Z Musafir, nice review there
The background music was too cool but it was totally ripped from Buddhar Bar (Deepak Ram song, Buddha Bar 3 CD1) and Kenny G’s Havana…
Deep
28-Jun-2006 at 12:03 pm
the movie is superb and mindblowing.
Its nice to see that Indian Film makers are making something new using creativeness, and not just vulgarity.
Priyanka - Top scorer because she was looking good and the dressing was also fantastic. No vulgarity and no overacting.
Hritik - what can I say.
He is outrageous. No one has better look in Bollywood and no one can imagine any other to play in place of him.
Beautiful action.
Movie seems to me very fast because I wish the movies could be little bit more, because its not boring and thus I can give 5 out of 5.
Cheer up - RAKESH ROSHAN, U done the history in bollywood.
First time in Indian Cinema, we can see - mixture of Vertical Limit, Matrix, and such many others.
28-Jun-2006 at 1:15 pm
few people like me will never improve.. :p
i put it on download.. will watch it soon..
28-Jun-2006 at 2:45 pm

30-Jun-2006 at 5:01 pm
“krisshh ‘is just simply mind blowing movies . it’s seem more technically high than other’s bollywood flick . don’t miss just go & watch it .im sure no one will feel bore while watching this latest flick.
01-Jul-2006 at 5:12 pm
krish!!!a poor man’s batman
02-Jul-2006 at 11:45 am
The action in Krrish looks like it has been stripped out of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Gosh!
I liked Koi Mil Gaya better… But Krrish was like watching a Chinese movie. And I got a very good question about the existence of Krrish. If Rohit took 2 years to build
the Computer to view the Future. How did his wife gave birth at the end of those 2 years? He didn’t even go for vacation. RIGHT! And I think Priyanka Chopra’s acting
was HORRIBLE. I liked Preeti Zinta’s Acting much better in the first movie. Especially when I had read her interview quoting that she has infact done an amazing performance.. instead I think she acted ‘DUMB’. If she calls that acting.. then she should get some help. YUK!
BTW I hated the movie ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’, it was pure crap too.
AK!
02-Jul-2006 at 1:30 pm
i m gonna watch it today
02-Jul-2006 at 2:15 pm

03-Jul-2006 at 11:00 am
its just a mixbag of lots of hollywood movies.
so guys why do u like all the imitated stuffs.
go for the original.
03-Jul-2006 at 4:33 pm
I found Krrish a very well made movie…..but somehow Priyanka Chopra was not gelling well with Hrithik…..the chemistry didn’t work well…….I liked Hrithik a lot in the movies….the second half was mind blowing …the stunts used in the movie was worth seeing and mindblowing…..I loved the movie…..
I was really depressed to see Rekha in an ageing character role….she is the all time screen diva for the Indians….Rekha should never age atleast for us,Indians.
04-Jul-2006 at 1:42 pm
good one
04-Jul-2006 at 11:22 pm
Review is very balanced and down to earth. Feel like somebody (buddy) is narrating the story in person using local lingo.
Good work man
04-Jul-2006 at 11:59 pm
Thanks Murthy, I always try my reviews to be very friendly and I want my reviews / posts to speak the language that everyone can understand, people should feel that someone is really talking to them and dicussing the stuff
05-Jul-2006 at 12:40 pm
Its 100% kiddish Movie, you have to leave ur brain @ home before going to Theatre..I agree to comments made by Mr.Kishore.
First half made me to sleep..
Silly Comedies in the first half..unnessary songs(nothing spl)..its like any other Hindi(normal)..with Special effects Thanks to Hollywood support( for copy’g)..
Definition for “Hero”.. explained in the Movie is to cover the mistakes of Script, as they dunno how to project “Krissh” as a “Super Hero”..thats all..Spiderman,Superman etc., all mostly fight for the society..well beings of Humans.. with their Super Powers..
But Krissh is to save his father..
They dunno the basics, when they say 16 years back..Father Hrithik using Cell Phones etc., etc.,..
As Hindi is our National Language..& we have 70 - 80 Crore Hindi speak’g population + other countries..whatever Bullshit Movie they produce ,publicize & release
& if it runs for a week throughout India+ world..they wont be a loser..
05-Jul-2006 at 10:13 pm
its a super movie , I watch this movie 8 time…….
06-Jul-2006 at 4:02 pm
krrish was good film good songs powers.
07-Jul-2006 at 12:00 pm
it is marvellous
09-Jul-2006 at 12:18 pm
Krrish rocks
10-Jul-2006 at 4:49 am
absolutely shocking that 80% ppl over here liked it. Come on! Its a different move, yes sir, it sure is. It is NOT a good movie though. A very boring movie …I sincerely believe only shaktiman fans and kids would love it! Do you guys like shaktiman? Its sad. Anyways, hrithiks performance was ok.. at some places over acted but it was above average. Graphics.. I would say C- in general but a B+ for bollywood. For those who say this movie or KML was his best performace, you need to know what acting is and even more what good acting is. His best performance was in Mission Kashmir and then Fiza…

How could I forget Nipu’s comment here : “its a super movie , I watch this movie 8 time”
You actually watched it 8 times? God be with you and I hope you get well soon.
10-Jul-2006 at 10:07 am
Hi Sid,
No offence but it should be only 20% of the people said the movie wasnt great, I could see the movie already being a blockbuster with historic openings. What more a person would need? And as far as Hritik’s acting, he was good in the movie, pretty good….
I do not think so any C- or B+ movie would be blockbuster…
cheers

18-Nov-2006 at 4:33 pm
I’m still trying to watch it although it’s in my PC.
