Krrish 3

Haven't found much attraction in this Version of Krish, have to fast forward on various occasions , I mean by putting up immature special effects and action sequences into a 2+ hours of film doesn't mean its gonna stick the audience to the screen for the whole time. The film directors in Bollywood should learn the way to not get over ambitious with Science Fiction Projects and over do things that could have been done the other way. For Example Rohit doesn't have to narrate everything that he is going to do next, that is annoying and looks immature in a film with such a budget (Learn something from your Neighbors latest release WAAR). Please avoid typical dancing sequences in such genre films, it distracts from the original story-line (Please don't tell me that Songs are one way of expressing the story, its an Action cum Science Fiction film for God Sake)

Overall I Rate it 5/10 only for the effort done by the poor Special Effects Team, which didn't got the right production team to work with for such films.

Director Mr. Rakesh Roshan work is fine. He has written the story also. Story is good, even lots of things are very logical but screenplay gives jerk to them. Dialogues are good but not go completely with the mood and genre of film. Graphics save and support the film well. Film moves between lots of ups and downs, creativity wise and pace wise too, this is due to lots of screenplay writers are there, so the movie is not seamless. Even, a typical villain have hearts like typical Indian films, she can feel love and applause. Villain and Hero, are full of super powers but still they prefer hand to hand combat rather than playing mind game. Hero can sense the wrong things happening from far but he misses to figure it out in home, how and why? Emotional quotient is less than it's first part Koi Mil Gaya. Pre climax is slow and lengthy. Performance wise, hats off to Hrithik Roshan. He makes you believe in double role that he really posses two personality. Rest cast are OK. Music is fine but lyrics drags it.

First off, let's get the good stuff of out the way, the special effects are surprisingly very good though not great. The film is well paced, it flows well. The performances are solid: Hrithik Roshan does a superb job playing double role, but I think he's performances as the father is way better than as Krrish, 'cause when he's playing Krrish there's no room to showcase emotions, because of the mask and all. He can just tears up and shakes, which gets repetitive after sometime. Kangana Ranaut Is also good, she rocks and there's a development with her character that I thought she handled it well. Vivek Oberio seems to be having fun with his character. Priyanka Chopra is good but her character is shallow, although she's particularly amazing in the part where she's Kaya in disguise. The action is fun to watch. Okay that's about all the positives I can think of about this movie. Now to the defects, straight up I thought this movie was very cringy, there's way too much melodrama for a superhero flick. The fight sequences are too long and quite immature. The choreography of the fight is over-the-top. The music is garbage and overly dramatic. The background is score is too loud and melodramatic; When Krrish saves someone or is doing something heroic, the score in the background plays that cringy "a a aa a aaaa' song, I understand it's kinda like a theme song but it's way overplayed. The story is quite plain even if that's forgivable, the characters are poorly drawn: Kaal, the villain is pretty uninteresting, he just come across as a clown, he wants to take over the world but his motive is never clear. Krrish as the titular character is also quite boring, he lacks any sort of personality.

This trilogy started with Koi Mil Gaya; a simple story about an alien-meet-human, to Krrish; a bit more mature with superhero elements with the usual Bollywood sentiments then there's Krrish; overblown, over-ambitious and melodramatic. But in whole, the trilogy as far entertainment is concerned, it offers tremendously.

PROS

Initially my expectation were quite low as the trailer seemed like X- Men, Spiderman and Man of Steel. The movie exceeded my expectations in case of the basic plot. The basic story is not a rip off of any movie and neither are the character's motivations(except their powers are similar to X-Men characters, but that's forgivable). This movie is much much better than Ra.one when it comes to the storyline(though Ra.one and Robot had better special effects). The purely Indian vfx did what they could do with a meager budget(in comparison to Hollywood films) and without help from Hollywood. The special effects are impressive by Indian standards. And I commend the director to try and make such a movie. The final fight scene is impressive by Indian Standard( though it seems like Man of Steel with cheap special effects)

CONS

In spite of a decent plot, the movie makes a mess presenting it as the plot drags for 2 hours and 30 minutes with ridiculous songs and cheesy clichés. One thing I hated about this movie is the way it tried to show the concept of Krrish as a symbol(like Batman). While in Dark Knight Rises the anyone can be Batman concept and the unveiling of Batman's statue seemed epic. In Krrish something similar happens with a minister unveiling Krrish's statue. But instead of feeling epic like in Dark Knight Rises this scene is cheesy and laughable as this scene is the premise to that ridiculous Bhagwan Allah song, so you can see Krrish dancing in front of his own statue. Also the concept of anyone can be Krrish(Batman) is shown as a kiddy concept somewhat similar to how Shaktiman gives moral values to kids. The special effects seem like a video-game cut-scene(can be forgiven).

In the age of Dark and gritty superheroes this movie basically is made for kids aged 4-13. I would have loved this movie if it came 6-7 years ago. Minus the songs I would have rated it 6/10(me being lenient) and minus the whole Krrish is a symbol subplot and I would have rated it 7- 7.5/10 but the movie as a whole is average

The vfx and special effects are one the Plus Points for the film.

Quite an ambitious project and clearly they tried to put in everything in such a small budget. Appreciated !

The songs are not gud but tolerable in the flow of the movie. The story is some what predictable.

The characters mainly the bad guys are inspired from the X-men.

I was skeptical before watching this movie because after watching so many near-to-perfect Hollywood superhero movies I wasn't sure if I would like this one. But I must say it didn't disappoint.

All in all a good movie, not worth missing. If u keep your expectations a little low you'll love the movie.

Final Words Rakesh Roshan is an expert director, no second thoughts about that but there are certain elements in the movie which he could have done without for better. Certain duologue's are over the top and cheesy, music is uninspiring, screenplay is weak and unimaginative. It resembles to a lot of Hollywood franchises which makes it hackneyed and makes us less proud of the finished product. The movie is not a great cinematic experience but isn't boring and crappy also. Good Acting (Vivek, Hrithik,Kangna) ,great VFX and an almost good story makes the ride enjoyable but bumpy due to certain roadblocks and speed breakers. If we compare it with the other superhero movies that Bollywood has churned out, Krrish 3 will top the list in terms of quality, acting and direction.
