Krrish 3

Laugh all you want, but it makes one of the most brilliant plots for a superhero movie.

1. Life giving device 2. Mutants (Maanvars) 3. Krrish saving Mumbai City from an epidemic. 4. Half brother (Kaal), a villain 10 times more powerful than Krrish himself. 5. Villain taking over Mumbai. 6. A great gladiator match between good and evil.

And the list goes on, it's a great example of brilliant writing but poor execution. Too much to show in a single movie, but I still love it because of not trying to copy Hollywood and maintaining it's very own original Indian feel. But many still troll it because we're just used to mock any effort Bollywood makes to make to make a great movie as "It's not as good enough as Hollywood", guess our minds are yet to have independence from white supremacy.

First off, let's get the good stuff of out the way, the special effects are surprisingly very good though not great. The film is well paced, it flows well. The performances are solid: Hrithik Roshan does a superb job playing double role, but I think he's performances as the father is way better than as Krrish, 'cause when he's playing Krrish there's no room to showcase emotions, because of the mask and all. He can just tears up and shakes, which gets repetitive after sometime. Kangana Ranaut Is also good, she rocks and there's a development with her character that I thought she handled it well. Vivek Oberio seems to be having fun with his character. Priyanka Chopra is good but her character is shallow, although she's particularly amazing in the part where she's Kaya in disguise. The action is fun to watch. Okay that's about all the positives I can think of about this movie. Now to the defects, straight up I thought this movie was very cringy, there's way too much melodrama for a superhero flick. The fight sequences are too long and quite immature. The choreography of the fight is over-the-top. The music is garbage and overly dramatic. The background is score is too loud and melodramatic; When Krrish saves someone or is doing something heroic, the score in the background plays that cringy "a a aa a aaaa' song, I understand it's kinda like a theme song but it's way overplayed. The story is quite plain even if that's forgivable, the characters are poorly drawn: Kaal, the villain is pretty uninteresting, he just come across as a clown, he wants to take over the world but his motive is never clear. Krrish as the titular character is also quite boring, he lacks any sort of personality.

This trilogy started with Koi Mil Gaya; a simple story about an alien-meet-human, to Krrish; a bit more mature with superhero elements with the usual Bollywood sentiments then there's Krrish; overblown, over-ambitious and melodramatic. But in whole, the trilogy as far entertainment is concerned, it offers tremendously.

The vfx and special effects are one the Plus Points for the film.

Quite an ambitious project and clearly they tried to put in everything in such a small budget. Appreciated !

The songs are not gud but tolerable in the flow of the movie. The story is some what predictable.

The characters mainly the bad guys are inspired from the X-men.

I was skeptical before watching this movie because after watching so many near-to-perfect Hollywood superhero movies I wasn't sure if I would like this one. But I must say it didn't disappoint.

All in all a good movie, not worth missing. If u keep your expectations a little low you'll love the movie.

Final Words Rakesh Roshan is an expert director, no second thoughts about that but there are certain elements in the movie which he could have done without for better. Certain duologue's are over the top and cheesy, music is uninspiring, screenplay is weak and unimaginative. It resembles to a lot of Hollywood franchises which makes it hackneyed and makes us less proud of the finished product. The movie is not a great cinematic experience but isn't boring and crappy also. Good Acting (Vivek, Hrithik,Kangna) ,great VFX and an almost good story makes the ride enjoyable but bumpy due to certain roadblocks and speed breakers. If we compare it with the other superhero movies that Bollywood has churned out, Krrish 3 will top the list in terms of quality, acting and direction.

PROS

Initially my expectation were quite low as the trailer seemed like X- Men, Spiderman and Man of Steel. The movie exceeded my expectations in case of the basic plot. The basic story is not a rip off of any movie and neither are the character's motivations(except their powers are similar to X-Men characters, but that's forgivable). This movie is much much better than Ra.one when it comes to the storyline(though Ra.one and Robot had better special effects). The purely Indian vfx did what they could do with a meager budget(in comparison to Hollywood films) and without help from Hollywood. The special effects are impressive by Indian standards. And I commend the director to try and make such a movie. The final fight scene is impressive by Indian Standard( though it seems like Man of Steel with cheap special effects)

CONS

In spite of a decent plot, the movie makes a mess presenting it as the plot drags for 2 hours and 30 minutes with ridiculous songs and cheesy clichés. One thing I hated about this movie is the way it tried to show the concept of Krrish as a symbol(like Batman). While in Dark Knight Rises the anyone can be Batman concept and the unveiling of Batman's statue seemed epic. In Krrish something similar happens with a minister unveiling Krrish's statue. But instead of feeling epic like in Dark Knight Rises this scene is cheesy and laughable as this scene is the premise to that ridiculous Bhagwan Allah song, so you can see Krrish dancing in front of his own statue. Also the concept of anyone can be Krrish(Batman) is shown as a kiddy concept somewhat similar to how Shaktiman gives moral values to kids. The special effects seem like a video-game cut-scene(can be forgiven).

In the age of Dark and gritty superheroes this movie basically is made for kids aged 4-13. I would have loved this movie if it came 6-7 years ago. Minus the songs I would have rated it 6/10(me being lenient) and minus the whole Krrish is a symbol subplot and I would have rated it 7- 7.5/10 but the movie as a whole is average

The name "Krish 3" says you what you're in for when you pay for a ticket to this gigantic most 'ambitious' Indian superhero mega-budget project. It's neither The Superman nor Spiderman; it's a swindle of films such as X-Men, Babylon A.D. Spider-man, The Avengers and The Incredibles and Megamind. Directed and overseen by producer-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, the movie failed to delivers on the promise of its name which contains some utterly ridiculous and pointless scenes. This is the third film as franchise in filmmaker Rakesh Roshan's ambitiously-scaled, action-packed and starring (wonder, wonder!) Hritik Roshan. As usual, this based on the strength of Hrithik Roshan—his energy, dynamism and a visible sincerity to save the human race against a powerful militia controlled by a wheelchair-bound (copy from "Babylon A.D.") mastermind Vivek Oberoi. The form-shifting Kangana Ranaut's character in the film is called Kaya, in fact she is the lead actress, is far sharper and more impactful. Needless to say Priyanka Chopra, Hritik's lady love, is lumbered with a vaguely written role in this film. The first thing to notice about the "Krish 3" soundtrack is that it is lengthy. Background music was loud and Songs pop in with the least expectation with the situation and it becomes highly awkward for the viewer. I will say the best bit in "Krish 3" is the Good effort on special effects - though clearly the concepts are borrowed from western movies and fails to impress. Nobody will say that the special effects were bad; I will say it was jaw dropping but what about everything else. It's another good example followed by "Ra-One", "Love story 2050" that just pouring in money and showing special effects doesn't help a film become good. This movie fails to create suspense on emerge victorious because the result is predictable and pointless but positive thing, its not that boring. Extremely, this film is for the die-hard fan of Hritik who hardly gives ANY importance to story OR screenplay. Roshan's family has thrown in all thinking of targeting all audience segments, and has therefore been unable to please maximum, at-least me. But For teenagers, it is definitely a delight. Once you accept it will be easier for you digest.
