Krrish 3 is an entertaining mix of spectacle and human-scale drama: fast-paced, the effects are smashing, and what
works is that Krrish is engaging and endearing even when
he is is out of costume.

Directed by: Rakesh Roshan

Rating: ***1/2

What it's about

Krrish 3 continues the story of Rohit Mehra (Hrithik Roshan)
and his superhero son Krishna or Krrish (Hrithik Roshan),
after Koi... Mil Gaya and Krrish. When Krishna is not saving
lives, he is trying to hold down a job. He lives with his wife
Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and father Rohit in Mumbai. Hell
breaks loose when a virus spreads in the city.

Rohit finds a cure for it but manages to earn the wrath of
Kaal (Vivek Oberoi) who releases his army of mutants or
Manwars (Manav + jaanwars) on his family. Krrish has to
save his family, his city, it's people and overpower this super
villain.

What's good

Let me assure you right at the onset that Rakesh Roshan has
packed din enough in the film to make a Krrish fan get his/
her money's worth. A superhero franchise escapade that
delivers fully on it's promise and raises the bar for future
desi superhero films. It's movie escapism at it's best.
Krrish 3 is an entertaining mix of spectacle and human-scale
drama. Roshan combines his imagination and flair to deliver
a film that is sure to capture everyone's imagination. It has
something for everybody. For a superhero film fan there are
fantasy characters, a super villain, full scale heroism, plot
twists and superb action.

For a Bollywood fan, there is enough emotion, drama, love
story and songs. For the bachcha party there are plenty of
exciting and exhilarating moments. The film is fast-paced,
the effects are smashing, and what works is that Krrish is
engaging and endearing even when he is is out of costume.
Krrish may be a superhero but it is his human side that is so
appealing.
Hrithik Roshan is oh-so-watchable in every frame. He owns both the roles with such ease. Kangana Ranaut is delightful as an alien making the weird hair and clothes work for her. She even manages to make you feel her pain.

Quite an accomplishment that! Every action adventure needs a memorable villain. Vivek Oberoi as Kaal ensures you won't ever forget his act. Priyanka is saddled with a role that doesn't do her justice. She deserved a meatier role.

What's not

It's a gallery of product placements, which ruins the movie
experience repeatedly.The music could not have been worse.
The film — aimed more at kids, than adults gets a little
complicated at times, making you wonder if the young ones
will be able to grasp it. It is highly derivative. It borrows
heavily from almost every superhero film you have seen.

Now in Cinemas

With Krrish 3, Rakesh Roshan is taking forward his sci-
fi superhero franchise with son Hrithik Roshan in the lead. But will this mega budget film live up to expectations. Will it become the highest grossing film of this year? We find out….

Director Rakesh Roshan’s Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish set the cash
registers ringing. Now the successful director is back with
Krrish 3, the third installment of his superhero series – this one stars Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra , Kangna Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi. Krrish 3 has at all – star power, visual effects, new-age villain and great buzz.
Surely it can’t get better than this! But will it rule the box office this Diwali? Will Krrish 3 get a thunderous start? Exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi says, “Krrish 3 is undoubtedly one of the big ticket movies releasing this year! While the numbers from the first three days may not be as big as they would have been if the film had released on the 4th because of the activities people keep busy with pre-Diwali, the film is sure to rake in a lot of money in its overall run at the cinemas.”

Most filmmakers bank on public holidays to boost their film’s
prospects at the ticket windows. That’s what Senior Roshan is
also hoping for by releasing Krrish 3 during the Diwali
weekend. Plus, the Hrithik Roshan -Priyanka Chopra starrer
has no competition at the box office, which will prove to be a
huge advantage. “The trailers are doing fantastic and the buzz
is great around the film; however, Krrish 3 lacks in music. But
since it’s a solo release and that too during Diwali weekend,
Krrish 3 will benefit from this,” points out distributor Sunny
Khanna.

With so many factors working in its favour, will Rakesh
Roshan’s latest offering beat the box office record of Chennai
Express, the Shahrukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer?

“Chennai Express was a solo release during Eid and managed
to get cash registers ringing. So is Krrish 3 at Diwali. Also, the
ticket prices of the superhero film are higher in multiplexes,
just like Chennai Express. In that way, there is lot of similarity
between the two films. But as far as beating the record of
Chennai Express is concerned, I think the movie will collect
around Rs 180-200 crores, but that’s just an estimation. The
collections can go beyond that,” added Khanna.
