Krrish 3

Haven't found much attraction in this Version of Krish, have to fast forward on various occasions , I mean by putting up immature special effects and action sequences into a 2+ hours of film doesn't mean its gonna stick the audience to the screen for the whole time. The film directors in Bollywood should learn the way to not get over ambitious with Science Fiction Projects and over do things that could have been done the other way. For Example Rohit doesn't have to narrate everything that he is going to do next, that is annoying and looks immature in a film with such a budget (Learn something from your Neighbors latest release WAAR). Please avoid typical dancing sequences in such genre films, it distracts from the original story-line (Please don't tell me that Songs are one way of expressing the story, its an Action cum Science Fiction film for God Sake)

Overall I Rate it 5/10 only for the effort done by the poor Special Effects Team, which didn't got the right production team to work with for such films.

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

As an Indian, I am a big admirer of all these projects like Krrish, Ra- one etc. so I watched this movie without waiting for reviews, I kept low expectations and yet its utterly disappointing. I understand that such projects require a big budget, but the movie has so many flaws that this 'budget' excuse does not justify it anymore. At least one area where Bollywood is good at, 'Music', could be original, but no! From the initial credits where they play the spider-man theme music till the end music 'book of Eli' theme, the whole movie has bits & pieces of some Hollywood movie. Another confusing fact about this superhero Krrish is that his powers are not defined. Every Hollywood superhero is known for his well defined power, they have strengths & weaknesses. But nobody knows what Krrish is capable of, in some occasions he can't outrun a slow moving car and at some other times he is faster than light; sometimes he has to put all his power to move a truck and sometimes he would move mountains (a metaphor not literally); the superhero in Krrish(2006) who had powers like captain America, has turned into a superman in Krrish-3, now what's next? total BS. Please, define this superhero's powers properly. And please Mr. Rakesh Roshan, don't make our superhero cry like a toddler all the time. Talking about Kaal, I kinda like the villain in this movie and Vivek Oberoy deserves an applause for his acting and dialogue delivery. Whenever the dialogues were lame, well its not Vivek's fault. Mr Rakesh Roshan had so many powerful mutants in this movie, he could have used each one to give at least one small round of fight, but most of them were just wasted. Once again, zero innovation and zero originality cannot be justified by the low budget excuse. I did not put reviews earlier because I want this movie to make money and I want Mr. Roshan to make Krrish-4. And i'll watch Krrish-4, again without waiting for reviews, but if I see the movie & music is again borrowed by Hollywood, I will immediately put my reviews highlighting all the cons to make sure our people know what they are going to see, once Mr. Roshan work on these areas, the movie will appeal to another big segment of viewers who watch Hollywood movies regularly. Just show some originality and make your movie attract the intellectual viewers.

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.

OK! From where do I begin....

Krrish 3 was a torture!

he songs were desperate attempts to create music out of the themes of its prequel.

The story line was completely predictable!

I mean; Who would've expected a mutant to destroy the mutant race!

Acting was good but was never backed with a good script.

Some of the scenes seemed to be completely bogus!

Perhaps; this looked more like an Indian version of the X-Men series!

Vivek Oberoi tried being Magneto but he was a complete disaster!

The only plus point I found was the technique that was used in making the movie.

Apart from that; everything fell way beyond expectations.
