Rohit over Krrish. Review on Krrish

This is the case of higher expection and getting low results. Koi Mil Gaya(KMG) was a superb entrace of bollywood into the scientific genre. It was the film that brought out the true potential of Hritik Roshan, especially the first half of the film. From that film I was sure that Roshans were ready to bring out truly amazing entertainment. That was the reason I went to the first show on the first day to Krrish.

First, I was really happy with all the jumping and more jumping. After a while I was waiting for something else, but sure enough, it was all jumping, just like a Bander.They even had a climbing a pole race with Krrish and an Ape. I was sure now that Rakesh Roshan really lost it. I think the director was trying to add humor but it failed. The film didn't have any humor. If there was some humor, for example the time when Krishna was pretending to be a ghost, it was just rediculous.

Another downside of the movie was the actress. She was a forced character into the film. I know they were going for someone like Louis Lane, but they missed the train long time ago. Priyanka doesn't come close to the Louis Lane character of Superman. Her character just seemed more confused rather than involved with Krrish.

I also found that Rakesh Roshan got alot of money from advertisement. From Tide to Lays, there was a clear sign that they were trying to sell. I think it was annoying because more useless scenes were added to add those ads into the film. Those scenes could easily be deleted.

One good thing about this movie was that action was much better than a lot of indian movies. It wouldn't be wrong to say that they were at the international standards. I really liked the scene where Krrish saved children from the fire. It looked well executed and well shot.

Besides good action and a mediocre music, there was nothing new in Krrish. The story was very slow and not entertaining. It also looked weird to have an old man(Rohit) sound like a little kid. Makeup was good but the voice didn't keep the illusion.

I think it would be more entertaining to watch KMG again rather than watch Krrish where all the jargon came together in the name of Scientific movies.
