Good Superhero movie, but with lots of flaws. Not bad as it looked from trailers.
Read at your own risk, the post may have some spoilers.
No, its not bad as I thought it would be from the trailers. But its not great either. In between you can say.
The story is thin, superhero Krrish/Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) saves city from terrors while he keeps losing his jobs. His dad, Rohit Mehra (Hrithik Roshan) is seen working on a experiment, and making antidote of a virus spreading fast across city. While somewhere in the world, Kaal (Vivek Oberoi) is planning to end the humanity through his virus, and various mutants he creates with his DNA, one of them being Kaya (Kangana Ranaut) who can change avatars like girgit.
Unlike the last movie in franchise, where the major portion of 1st half went in creating comedy across fake ghost, and the romance between Krishna-Priya (Priyanka Chopra). In Krrish3, its the screenplay that surprises you as there is a urgency visible in putting the action in front of us. Only hiccups come in form of songs and the un-neccessary love angle of Kaya-Krishna.
I liked the opening credits, using Amitabh Bachchan's voiceover to narrate how the superhero Krrish was born, showing all past clips from Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish.
The stunts were good, I specially loved aereoplane one, and ofcourse the finale. VFX was good, I loved Kaya and that long tongue one. Rest maanwars hardly had any great personality to like them. That tree sequence though looked very fake to me. Still, kudos for all the effort, small problems are always going to be there with less budget.
Rakesh Roshan as a director does incredibly well to bring his vision on the screen, though the preaching of 'there is a krrish in everyone of us' was highly irritating. He could had done away with this spoon-feeding. Dialogue writing ranges from good to bad to average. Also, the reaction shots of public, be it the post aeroplane scene when they congratulate krrish, or when krrish saves a small kid, or when Kaya saves a kid, it looked exaggerated.
Songs were very average, Rajesh Roshan dissapointed. 'Raghupati Raghav Rajaram' works only for the reason that we get to see Hrithik's great dance moves. 'God allah aur Bhagwan' should had been avoided, and same for 'dil tu hi bata'. Though, I loved Kangana in that black dress during Dil tu hi bata song. If we want to compete with Hollywood (if at all we want to), then songs have to be removed or kept at minimal.. even 3 songs in film are too many.
Special mention to two background themes that caught my attention, one was when Kaal's backstory as child is shown. Other one is when Rohit sacrifices his life for Krishna, and that same theme comes when Krishna beats Kaal terribly to death before the surprise dialogue.
Hrithik Roshan delivers great performance, that head shivering is one thing I want him to stop, he does it too much, same was the case in Agneepath. If I was to chose one, then I would say 'Rohit Mehra', as a dad he was comical, father like and full of emotions. I love the scene where he emotes a father feeling helpless trying to save his son, and then the sacrifice he makes. Actually, I felt bad that this character now may not be there in next part of Krrish franchise.
Priyanka Chopra is okay in most parts, only place she gets some scope is when Kaya changes avatar and becomes Priya. Priyanka gets a negative shade to enact, and she does very well in that.
Kangana Ranaut is superb in her negative turns positive role. She looked glamarous and evil.
Vivek Oberoi does pretty well, though his character lacked that special villain punchline. Like in last part, Naseeruddin would say 'Breaking news'. Infact similar tribute is visible once in film, when Kaal says 'toh dekhte hai kya india ke bhagwan bacha paate hai unhe hamare virus se'. Also, if you carefully notice then Kaal's other fingers were moving too which Vivek shouldn't have allowed to happen. Though this is visible only if you focus too much on that like I did. And why does he need to laugh un-necessarily, we know he plays villain role, some cliches should be done away with.
My main problem though with him was, he didn't get a chance to spread terror, though I loved the 'The Dark Knight Rises' tribute with Kaal beating Krrish almost to death. What I wanted after that was Kaal to make the city full of fear with his actions, and not a dialogue sequence. Reason I say this is, Kaal is shown as one with full of powers to us, so after beating Krrish, spreading terror in city would had made his character look very tough to defeat, and therefore make Krrish more lovable when he does the impossible.
Also, I feel that the mask Krishna wears doesn't make his identity look different. For a person it should be easy to identify that both Krishna and Krrish are same, which makes me wonder if they could had worked harder on the mask during Krrish movie.
Krrish3 may not be that Superhero movie from India that can be put together with famous Hollywood ones, but we are getting there. Its a good movie, that can be actually loved by those who aren't aware of Hollywood superhero movies. I am happy that Krrish3 wasn't a waste of time, especially since it took so long for it to make. Hopefully, Krrish4 would not have any flaws.
Verdict : NICE
