It’s about as transcendent as Flubber. Its star looks like Ziggy Stardust auditioning for Kiss. When it’s not blatantly ripping off other superhero movies, it’s full of tired clichés.


And yet! The new Bollywood action flick Krrish 3 just logged the highest single-day opening in Indian film history, banking about $5 million against a $20 million budget. In the U.S., where it is playing in only 208 theaters, the movie pulled in another $1 million, with a per-screen average on par with the buzzy indie drama Blue Is the Warmest Color.


How to explain the smashing success of Krrish 3?


To be clear, it’s not an altogether awful movie. The film bounces happily within the safe, sometimes stupid confines of generic Bollywood tropes. It’s filmed through a Pinkberry lens, and its star, Hrithik Roshan, indeed looks like a superhero, always oily and flexing. His biggest apparent weakness: an inability to fasten more than two buttons on his shirt.


But just like the franchise from which it was spun, there is no intelligent design here. Twenty minutes after a virus gives everyone bloody sores, Krrish dances in front of a giant statue of himself. After a bad girl kisses Krrish, she dances with him an elaborate dream sequence in the desert. ( There’s a lot of dancing.) Krrish can fly sometimes. Other times he can only jump really high. He’s strong enough to lift an airplane and catch chunks of skyscrapers. Then he has trouble lifting a truck. His strength, it seems, depends on how much drama the script calls for.


The character’s origin story isn’t any clearer. The first film in the series, Koi…Mil Gaya ( 2003) , is essentially the story of Forrest Gump finding E.T. Then there’s Krrish ( 2006) , in which Forrest’s son grows up to be Superman. Why isn’t there a Krrish 2? This is a good question. The first movie was a blockbuster, so sequels were made under the nebulous idea of “science fiction.”


Aesthetically, the movie looks 1994’s Street Fighter. Anything more complicated than a somersault looks like a cutscene from a PlayStation game.


It’s unfair to blame Krrish 3’s failure on the Indian film industry. Mission Kashmir, also starring Roshan, was a revolutionary action movie. ( Yes, it ripped off bullet time from The Matrix. But at least it did that well.) That was 13 years ago.
