It was bound to happen !. Review on Krrish

I KNEW IT !

when an inspiration from a spielberg movie makes for a highly entertaining movie, turns out to be the biggest hit of the year, romps home with all the major awards and most importantly sets a talented actor's career back on track, the director is expected to look for something more stylised and niche. SO I had no surprises when rakesh roshan decided to make the sequel to koi mil gaya.

but in his process to match the technical finesse of the chinese action films and make for a so called "stylish slick" film, rakesh roshan loses his way as a story teller, fails to grab the emotional resonance of KMG, and falters overall to make a recommendable film to my dear mouthshut user colleagues.

the film begins with KRRISHNA, rohit's son showing off his god gifted talents to some brattish kids, [who dont have any thing to do than to play with a teenage freak]. a girl comes from singapore to kasauli [ believe it or not ] for a leisure trip, sweeps krrissh off his feet and then krrissh leaves no stones unturned and breaks all barriers to help her unintentionally. come on rakesh sir, we hoped for a bettere script here.

the silly song sequences, the irrelevant comic scenes [ though they did manage to raise a few laughs ] just hamper the essence of a taut screenplay and a gripping narration in the first half. the best moment, for me personally was when krishna urges to go to singapore and rekha is forced to divulge the truth to refrain him. it truly was a sight to behold.

the second half of the movie is definitely the better one with some thrilling stunts, an unforgettable song, good work by hrithik and a great sci-fi scene going to the flashback with rohit giving his name to a super computer able to tell the future. that was really brain tickling. having said this, the archana puran singh potboiler and the scenes like "DIL NA DIYA" song and krrishna's competition with a gorilla [ or whatever it may be ] was pure balderbash. it just didnt make sense.

the film's only claim to fame is its hollywood or say chinesewood ISHTYLE thrills and fight sequences. the film is really first of its kind in india for this sole reason. but that alone cant salvage a weak script, mediocre execution and some expected twists, can it ? the climax was unpredictable though.

speaking of other aspects, nothing is really eye-capturing. the cinametography is above average, and the overall music average. at the same time, the song "KOI TUMSA NAHI" is pleasantly uplifting. the lyrics is heart warming and so is the use of flute in the interludes.

the film is implicitly overpowerd by hrithik roshan. he was the central character for the movie in every sense and he played this part with deadly earnest. rekha was very good but her role didnt have much to speak of. the same things can be said for naseeruddin shah. priyanka chopra was average. but I must say she is choosing just the right movies n will definitely be the top most actress one day.

KRRISH was just an ordinary movie a victim of over-hype [ just as SARKAR was ], has been a big hit all over [ though I didnt expect it to be ] bcoz of its entertainment value [ as most of our audience thinks so ]. but the film will definitely couldnt match KMG in the sentiments dimension and its charisma level.

overall, KRRISH was an expectedly disappointing movie.

your ratings and comments hugely awaited
