A mammoth star cast and a big canvas carries with it the burden of colossal expectations. Rakesh Roshan’s Krrish, inspired by Super Man, has been hyped tremendously, is embellished with a top-ranking star cast and has excellent music to offer. Obviously, the expectations are gigantic…
Krrish is path-breaking in the sense that no maker has attempted a complete film on such subject as super hero , future compurter yet in India. With a storyline like that, utmost care has been taken to present it in a stylish format.Undoubtedly, Krrish is the most technically superior film churned out by Bollywood in the present times.
But the theme may appeal more to the city-based audience. In fact, a sizeable chunk of audience may find it tough to comprehend with.From the writing point of view, writer Honey Irani has taken the essence from Spider man/superman, merged it with the oft-repeated and oft-witnessed good versus evil formula and garnished it with father son relationship .
The film starts off very well, but the story stagnates once Hrithik falls in love with Priyanka . The songs that follow in rapid succession are sure to test the patience of the viewer.Without doubt, the film has its share of well-penned sequences and they do crop up at regular intervals, but the outcome after the first half leaves you with a been-there-done-that kind of a feeling.
However, things perk up in the post-interval portions. But the pace actually gathers momentum when Krrish saves two children from the fire. From thereon, right till the climax, the goings-on keep the interest alive, courtesy the brilliantly executed stunts . In fact, the stunts are the mainstay of the enterprise.
Krrish is Rakesh Roshan’s best offering so far, in terms of technique. The film has been stylishly shot and has an international feel to it, besides it moves at an exciting pace in the latter reels. The action sequences have also been integrated and woven well in the script.
But had he gone in for a innovative first half, the results would’ve been better. Writer Honey Irani needs to be complimented for picking a genre that defies the stereotype and which has rarely been attempted by Hindi film-makers.
Rajesh Roshan’s music sounds good to the ears, but looks forced in a film of this genre. In fact, a couple of songs come up without valid situations whatsoever.
Cinematography is awesome. In fact, the look of the film is very international. The background score heightens the impact considerably. The sets in Manali are fantastic.
Hrithik Roshan is effective in a role that requires him to emote through expressions. Naseer is first-rate. His one liners are bound to meet with applause. Priyanka does a commendable job. Her sequences with Mani Dey bring an instant smile.Rekha is strictly okay.
All up Krrish is a great entertainer with an ordinary first half and an engaging second. A sure shot hit!
