Krrish (2006)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

i was very exicted about this first bollywood "super hero" genre movie,but it disappointed me.it was like other typical bollywood commercial films.the first scene of introduction of hrithik roshan as a superhero looks childish,when he make race with a horse.they make him run in slow motion,showing his muscles,with the typical kind of background music (which is a necessary thing in bollywood).most of the action scenes are in slow motion and physics is not very good.some time when he jumps in air it looks he is hanging with ropes.this movie is good for the people who likes light entertainment.but it is not for the people who are serious about genre,pure action and real physics in movies.

Krrish is the first Bollywood movie I've ever seen in my life. After seeing this movie, I was amazed, but somehow I felt it was lackluster.Why lackluster? Read on.1. Priyanka Chopra has no relevance in the story. Though she was the reason why Krishna became Krrish, Priyanka's acting is kinda useless. Her acting just made things worse.2. The villain is so weak. I thought this movie would be cool because Krrish is now a hero, but the villain is a weakling! 3. The songs are annoying. Namely the "Dil Na Diya", it annoys me a lot.Good thing the film was saved by Hrithik Roshan. I personally think that Hrithik Roshan is one of the few actors in the universe that can make garbage look awesome.

I am a long-time Superman fan, not South Asian, and loved this movie. It is good both within Bollywood standards as well as on its own in terms of introducing a new concept in Indian cinema. I agree with Effulgent-Warrior's comment's 100% -- to compare it to other genres of movies would be a mistake. In and of itself, it combines a good story, excellent cinematography, solid visual effects, wonderful music and an incredible performance by Hrithik Roshan. I went into this movie with absolutely no idea of who Hrithik Roshan was or any knowledge of the movie's background (other than that it was about an Indian superhero), and was blown away. The standards are incredibly high across the board, it's a great plot, the performances are solid, and it's a very entertaining experience overall. To dissect it against American standards would be a big mistake. If there's one thing that bothered me it was the blatant product placement, but I know that's a Bollywood standard as much as the music and almost 3 hour length! Hrithik Roshan could easily have a distinguished career in the U.S., able to go up against any American or British action actor in my opinion. He's that good.In summary, this is a first-rate film that deserves to be watched. I can't wait for Krrish 2.

When all Hollywood wants is grim & gritty super-heroes, here we have a very spiritual movie about a boy with special powers who doesn't want revenge on his parent's death or any cliché like that. In fact, Krrish is just a man of awesome powers who lives with his mothers and, in communion with nature, has fun with his ability to run really fast, jump high and things like that. But he feels alone, until the girl of his dreams appear - and then it becomes a quest for love.In fact, our hero only makes his first "super-heroic" appearance about the 1:40 hour mark. This is not your average super-hero movie; it is a great love story and has themes about friendship, loneliness and how greed can corrupt. All the super-hero antics are just... a metaphor, maybe? Fact is, this is a great movie.
