Krrish 3 (2013)

Wonderful character development!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

As much as I adore "Koi ..... Mil Gaya" (2003) and "Krrish" (2006), I loathe their sequel i.e. the abomination named "Krrish 3". The first movie was influenced a lot by "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) and "Spider-Man" (2002). However, it had a story to tell and it did. Similarly, "Krrish" was pretty much influenced by the principles of Batman from "Batman Begins" (2005), a lot of actions from "The Matrix" (1999) among many other popular superhero films. It told a good origins story and was fine on the whole. And one more thing, their target audience were mainly the kids, so they were enjoyable enough as kids movies. But this movie? Oh hell no! Unlike the first two, it tries to be more than it is - an epic superhero movie of all times. This, despite (in its core) being a kids movie, feels like a cheesy rehash of some bad Hollywood superhero movies. As a kid's movie, it's something that even the kids will consider to be dumb, compared to other films made for them. It is superbly lazily written. It has no story inside it, the major plot points being ripped off of "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006) mainly. That was the most commercially successful X-Men film at that time, and at the same time a pile of stinking trash. Since Bollywood wants to make money, they copied shamelessly from that movie. A lot of things are similar to "The Avengers" (2012) and "Man of Steel" (2013) regarding the destruction that takes place in the movie. There are some desi plotlines in this movie that feel incredibly hilarious. Just to make it look different, they made use of the same old story elements that is predictable to say the least. Leaving aside the Hollywood ripoff things, it creates a huge number of plot holes and inconsistencies regarding the franchise. The way Rohit speaks after the events of the first film doesn't explain itself. He was intelligent but still foolish after the events. And Krrish's powers are still not explained, which feel like the over amplification of Rohit's powers. In this movie, it feels like Krrish is a love child of Superman, Batman and The Flash rather than Rohit's son. Kangana plays the love child of Shadowcat and Mystique. Vivek Oberoi who looks like an illegal son of Saif Ali Khan in this movie, plays the love child of (drumrolls) Professor X and Magneto. And these aren't the spoilers. The only genuinely good thing about this movie is that Hrithik Roshan is really great as all the three characters - Rohit, Krishna and Krrish. The other thing I really had great time with whilst watching this nonsense was trying to figure the X-Men character they ripped off to create the character I am seeing on screen. Apart from these, nothing was there, except trashy things. The songs were useless in the first place, and to make this garbage more stinky, it greatly hampered the pacing of the movie. It gets an "E+" and a "3.1/10".

I am not a big fan of Bollywood movies but I kind of like this one. Not because it is extremely successful but it is watchable and kind of different from other Bollywood movies. I agree with most of guys who have posted reviews that this movie looks like a copy from many successful Hollywood movies. The 2nd part of the movies is almost like another episode from x-men series. But I am not going to criticize the movies because of the valiant effort made by the producer/director/film crew to produce a blockbuster movie equal to a Hollywood one. It should be appreciated. At least we can hope for better films in this category from Bollywood in the future. What I am doing is encouraging it. I don't like what they did to great Priyanka Chopra. She is one of my favorite and she is doing nothing but appear here and there in the entire movie. I wish to see more strong acting from her if there is another episode of Krish.

In 2006,I loved Krrish but now after waiting seven years for Krrish 3 I will not be looking forward to Krrish 4. 3 reason why krrish three is so bad. 1)Music. It's music is not good for your ears and the lyrics fails to connect to the film's plot (like any bollywood soundtrack does,it connects to it's plot.)2) Too predictable. I didn't try to ,but it turned out I predicted the whole film. I wasted £15 just to predict a 2 and a half hour movie. NOT!3 (finally) ) Priyanka's role size. It is just tiny. She only appears in like 7 scenes.i give it it 3 stars for the VFX,kangara's and vivek's performance.

Koi Mil Gaya was a genuine flick and Krrish was somewhat successful to continue Rohit and his son Krishna's life saga. But Krrish 3 is all about the smashing stunning scenes and all the conflict between Krrish and Kaal.It starts on a rather sweet note where we see our protagonist having a simple life with her wife who is pregnant and his father who he brought back from the dead in the previous installment of the series. But then the plot starts shifting towards the villain and his plans of demolishing the world just so he can rule.One thing I must appreciate is Rakesh Roshan's genuine direction that we saw in the previous installments and the special effects that amuse the viewers throughout the film. But the screenplay is too botched up because of so many writers stepping in. But the movie follows a pretty simple narrative in the first half and an unneeded love angle in the another. And many characters are added which makes the character development worse just for more conflict for Krrish.Some of these desi elements work but some doesn't. It may not be as good the previous installments but a step ahead for Indian cinema and is worth a watch.
