'Krrish 3' Strikes Box Office, Earns Rs.72.7 Crore in Three Days

Krrish 3, starring Hrithik Roshan, Vivek Oberoi has struck the right chord with the audience and is reaping rich dividends at the box office - it did a business of Rs.72.7 crores within the first three days of its release. The superhero sci-fi is still counting.

The figure includes collections from the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions as well.

Krrish 3 is director-producer Rakesh Roshan's third instalment of the franchise that hit the road to glory in 2003 with Koi ... Mil Gaya.

Krrish 3 came out on Friday and collected Rs.25.20 crores on the first day, followed by R .23.20 crores on the second day with impressive Diwali day collections at Rs.24.30 crore, said a statement.

If the audience lapped up Hrithik as superhero again, they have also appreciated the performances by Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut who play negative characters in the film. Priyanka Chopra is the female lead.

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.

Grand Masti Trailer Out: Masti Boys Are Back With More Uncensored Stuff - Watch Video!

Masti Boys Are Back! This time, they are back with loads of fun & lots of Grand Masti. Experience an extraordinary college re-union with Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi & Aftab Shivdasani. Grand Masti in cinemas 13th September 2013

In the trailer of Indra Kumar’s upcoming sex comedy Grand Masti, the sequel to the 2004 hit Masti, a sex-deprived Vivek Oberoi grumpily complains to his friends Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani, “Yeh biwiyaan mangalsutra pehnte hi kamsutra kyun bhool jaati hain, yaar?”

Now you don’t have to be an Isaac Newton to know what to expect from this naughty flick. If you still haven’t got it, here’s another sample – a hottie with a generous bosom is chatting with Vivek Oberoi. She says, “Meri doh doodh ki factories hain, agar aaj raat ko aap free ho, toh main aap ko dono factories ke darashn de doongi.” Clearly, the movie is packed with sexual innuendos, toilet humour and lots of masti!

Those who have watched the popular Hollywood movie series American Pie – and most of us have ‘grown up’ watching the hilarious films – will know what to expect from this one! Apart from Vivek, Riteish and Aftab, it also stars Bruna Abdullah, Maryam Zakaria and Marathi actor Sonalee Kulkarni, last seen in the acclaimed Natarang. The plot of Grand Masti revolves around three married men who are not happy with their sex lives, who then go for their college reunion to find the ultimate masti. What follows thereafter can only stimulate your naughty imaginations.

Take a look at the trailer of Grand Masti and tell us if you find it supremely funny or repulsively vulgar?

Hrithik Roshan Has a Brightness Of a Legendary - Says Vivek Oberoi

Mumbai: Actor Vivek Oberoi, who will next be seen sharing screen space with superstar Hrithik Roshan in 'Krrish 3', minces no words in praising his co-star.

Vivek said Hrithik has "an aura of a legend". "He is very humble. There is a legendary quality in his humility," added the 'Company' actor.

The 36-year-old is confident that with 'Krrish 3', Hrithik "will surpass all his previous achievements". Vivek's past few films, including 'Kismet Love Paisa Dilli' and 'Zila Ghaziabad ", didn't elicit the desired response . No wonder the actor is overwhelmed with an opportunity to work in the sci-fi superhero extravaganza.

"I feel I must have done something good in my life that I got such a role in my career. I think it's one of the best roles of my career and I am very, very excited about it," he said of 'Krrish 3 '.

Directed by Rakesh Roshan, 'Krrish 3' takes the story of 'Koi ... Mil Gaya '(2003) and' Krrish '(2006) forward. Slated to release Nov 3, the film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Kangna Ranaut.
