According to the trade pundits, the film will enjoy a full house this week too.

Krrish 3 Movie Review

Each time evil awakens in the world, a superhero rekindles his superpowers. This time Krrish is back, with thrice the power to destroy the demonic Kaal and his bastion of beastly mutants.

Review: Evil doesn't raise its ugly head anymore. It raises a finger. But then 'Good' flies too. In 'Superhero' form - Caped, masked, winged - with muscles of steel and hearts of gold. Our comic-book phirang fantasy boys have flown high as 'Supermen' in Hollywood epics for eons. In India, only one man with an audacious flight of imagination - Rakesh Roshan - has thrice-over, superbly crafted a fantastical world 'alien' to Bollywood, with our very own amazingly evocative superhero - Krrish (Hrithik).

Leaping from where the prequel ended, Krishna (Hrithik) lives with his wife (Priyanka), and genius Dad, Rohit Mehra (Hrithik). In twirling black cape and mask, he hurtles across the city on heroic rescue operations, playing good hubby and doing odd jobs (as the alter ego). But his life is uproariously interrupted with the emergence of a dark and destructive world of an evil called 'Kaal' (Vivek). A maniacal villain, with special powers and a venomous will to erase inferior beings - the human race.

Kaal fuses DNA, to create an assortment of evil mutants called maanvars (manav+jaanwar) - a horned Rhinoman, red-eyed Antman, a Frogman (who gives lot of tongue) and a super-shapely chameleon Kaya (Kangna). He wants to spread a deadly virus to exterminate humanity, but Krrish uses his superpowers to save 'mankind' from the malignant 'mutakind'.

Hrithik is truly the stuff superheroes are made of. Brandishing his Greek-God looks and almighty powers. Displaying larger-than-life flair and flying shoulder-to-shoulder with any Hollywood superman. As the prosthetically pot-bellied and ageing Rohit, he is incredible. Vivek, as a physically disabled anti-hero is menacing as a 'hellboy'. His lunatic laugh and white-washed make-up make him fearfully fantastic. Priyanka is good in her limited role. Kangna in her gothic and deviously dark avatar looks stunning and pulls off an outstanding act.

With a visually riveting and emotionally engaging story, intriguing characters, sweeping VFX (unseen thus far on Indian celluloid) Rakesh Roshan's ambitious dream lives up. Yes, it's hugely inspired (by the Bats, Spideys and Wolverines of the West), but our superhero has his own 'X-factor'. Even with all the high-octane car crashes, explosions and 'animatronics', the philosophy is the force behind it all, yet, never overpowering the story.

The songs are slightly disappointing and background score (Salim-Sulaiman) is good, but unable to amp up the magnitude of the film.

For sheer vision, bravado and superlative execution, this one soars to new orbits. Latch on to this cape for an exhilarating ride.

Note: You might not like this film if sci-fi, fantastical films are not your scene.

Krrish 3 First Trailer Out: Hrithik Roshan Back In Superhero Style!

After a lot of anticipation since the Krrish 3 teaser was first released, we bring you the Hrithik’s look in the film

With names like Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi in the cast, our expectations from Krrish 3 are peaking. Though we were a little disappointed to see just Hrithik on the first official poster of his look, we really liked the way our superhero stands tall among towering structures. The whole ambience reminded us of Christopher Nolan’s Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.

Though Krrish, the earlier version of Hrithik’s film, was targeted at kids, it doesn’t seem to be the case with Krrish 3. At least that’s what the posters suggest. Produced under Rakesh Roshan’s Filmkraft Productions (India) Pvt Ltd, the film boasts of international talent with action by Tony Ching Siu Tung (Hong Kong) along with Sham Kaushal and sound design by Baylon Fonseca. Rajesh Roshan has composed the music with the background score by Salim-Sulaiman.

The Hrithik-starrer will release this Diwali on November 4. It’s the first time that a Bollywood film is coming out on a Monday. Will you watch it?

Is Hrithik Roshan Ready To Do Action Films Again?

The actor recently undergo brain surgery to treat the fallout of an injury caused while shooting for a sequence in Bang Bang

Hrithik Roshan, Bollywood’s resident Greek God is in recovery mode. The dishy hunk had to do a high-octane stunt sequence for Bang Bang - which co-stars Katrina Kaif and is a remake of Knight and Day – and unfortunately he didn’t get it quite right. Roshan jumped into the water from a height and landed wrong, which caused a serious injury to his head. He didn’t pay much heed to it for a long time, thinking it was just a bump on the noggin.

But then it started bothering him; he got severe headaches and had a persistent pain in the back which just would not go away. When papa Rakesh Roshan insisted that before the next shoot schedule beta got a proper checkup, doctors found that the actor had a subdural hematoma. Hrithik has been operated on, successfully his family assures us, but it will be about 45 days before he is back to work.

But will Hrithik be able to get back into the grind of doing action again? While papa Rakesh obviously wants his son to be extra cautious while doing gravity defying stunts, at the end of the day he can only trust beta Hrithik to take the decision that is best for him, especially where action films are concerned. We hear that in Roshan’s first films too – Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai! – the newbie star hurt himself doing an important scene. We want the actor to get back to his dynamic self as soon as possible, but the question that’s gnawing at our collective psyche is, how will he manage to finish the huge pile work accumulating on his plate. The third schedule of Bang Bang is yet to be completed and then, of course, there will be the arduous task of the film’s promotional brouhaha, as well as all the PR for Krrish 3. 

With actors going out of their way to promote their films these days, the Roshan stud can’t afford to lag behind in the spreading the word game. We wish Hrithik all the strength and energy he needs to cope with the tiring work which lies ahead of him…
