After the completely 'paisa-vasool' Koi Mil Gaya Rakesh Roshan disappoints with a premise which holds so much promise. Bad script, Bad acting, Bad camerawork, Bad music, Bad direction... unfortunately Hrithik as 'Krrish' has to battle the bad guys AND all these Bad, Bad, Bad elements that plague the film. The first part attempts to rest on a comedy and romance track that's so weak and ancient that you wonder WHAT the six contributors to the screenplay had in mind. Priyanka Chopra crash lands into a forest and literally puts on a babe-in-the-woods act, but fails to impress (you could replace her with a rag doll and no one would notice). Also owing to similar facial expressions there are theories making rounds that Priyanka is actually Jaadu's daughter just scroll down and look for it.
Naseer enters the plot you think things are going to speed up BUT then comes the biggest surprise of all - the 'Baap of all actors' puts on whats probably his worst act till date. The story plods along pushing products like Tide, Bournvita, Lays etc. heading nowhere in particular. The most disappointing aspect of it all is that whats been sold as a superhero film is just not a superhero film. Leaping across buildings, waltzing through bullets and taking on 6 baddies at the same time - come on, Amitabh Bachchan and co. have been doing that (and quite convincingly) for decades now.
But truth is 'Krrish' is setting the box-office on fire. It's first week collections reportedly crossed the 60 crore mark! So the real superhero out there is the marketing team at Filmkraft which has managed to sell the just the idea of 'Krrish the superhero' by stringing together the best 30 seconds of stunts there is in the film into a promo. As for India's first definitive superhero... give me 'Mr India' any day! first published:July 08, 2006, 12:16 ISTlast updated:July 08, 2006, 12:16 IST

A little late in the day, but here goes - India's first definitive superhero? Definitely not! For starters, the guy turns 'superhero' only in the second half and to top it he's never in India when he finally does become 'Krrish'. Also unlike a Superman, Batman or a Spiderman - Krrish doesn't chase the bad guy to save humankind - he leaps, jumps and zips around to rescue his father (so bloody selfish!). And yes he does save the odd kid from getting killed on a Singapore road while he is on his vengeance trip.
