Worth the wait. Review on Krrish

After almost a wait of two years, Rakesh Roshan´s long-awaited Krrish has finally hit the big screen. The question audiences have is obvious; was it worth the wait? And the answer is a resounding yes! Krrish offers an irresistibly fun movie-going experience.Oddly enough, despite being heavily inspired from a number of American super hero flicks, Krrish is still a progressive piece for Indian cinema. This is mainly because it succeeds where recent films have faltered; it successfully applies India´s all-inclusive masala formula to the sensibilities of a modern audience.

Krrish puts a whole new, and very welcome, spin on things. The director takes a back seat, and allows plot, characterization, and action to glide through Bollywood´s escapist over-the-top conventions. And the results are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Krrish is the first grand and contemporary Indian commercial pot-boiler.

KRISHNA is - a ordinary human being having supernatural powers. Got this kind of powers from his Dad.Krishna's grandma dont want to show his supernatural powers to the entire world, so they will live in a remote place. Why she dont want to make him public? How he becomes the Singapores superman called as Krrish ? what happens is the story.

It is the successful integration of Bollywood conventions into a completely unorthodox storyline and presentation that makes Krrish outstanding in the context of Indian commercial cinema. The film is from an unlikely genre, it is consistent in plot and tone, but still caters to audiences exceptionally well.

Krrish also deserves a special mention in the SFX department. This is definitively the best film ever made in Bollywood when it comes down to technical wizardry. The style of editing is extremely flashy and fits the ambience of the film like a glove. The action scenes are very well coordinated and extremely well shot. The camera work is innovative and consistent throughout.

The special effects are not far off from Hollywood standard either. Viscerally, Krrish is aptly stylish and one of the best calculated and executed films out of India ever.

Rakesh Roshan is no brilliant filmmaker, but he certainly deserves applause for a job well done here. He adds his own style to the shots. He also deserves applause for handling a number of worthy sequences remarkably well, such as the scenes in computer store section.

Performances are brilliant from all the lead players.Hrithik is superb in his role, as expected. He overflows with style but manages to keep his character vulnerable and human. He is perfectly cast as the brilliant, desperate, forceful super hero.

Naseerudin is incredible as well and the result is one of the best performances of the year.

Priyanka is in her element once again, after a number of terrible performances, and reminds everyone that she is a performer to be reckoned with.Rekha is powerful once again after KMG.

But all this is praise is not to say that Krrish doesn´t have its share of flaws. It has a number of them, in fact.Rakesh Roshan falters as a director in parts. Some unnecessary sequences that do little more than showcase standard Hollywood technical effects go on for far longer than they should, and slow the film down to a near snail pace. This is likely the biggest thorn in Krrish´s side; it drags in times where it should be moving at breakneck speed.

Overall, Krrish is well worth the wait and a must-watch for those who have kept their faith in Indian cinema despite a truly lackluster year. Krrish is everything a masala movie should be; it packs the whole smorgasbord of Bollywood conventions - romance, dances, glamour, comedy, drama - into one fun-filled, action-packed, polished joy-ride of a film.
