Krrish 3Last (at least for now) instalment of the franchise has raised many eyebrows with its title. Krrish „3“? Did we miss Krrish „2“? Then again numbers do not seem a strong point of Papa Roshan, as we could see during the BO collections aftermath. I was not kind to the idea of the movie, given the previous one was nothing earth-shattering, and the promos very lackluster, the songs just pathetic, reminding one of an outdated 90s films. And after the release I was very put off by all the boasting from various people, mostly Vivek Oberoi, about their own greatness (you do NOT compare yourself to Mogambo and have me nodding in agreement). So I was very sceptical about this venture when I hit the play button and very surprised to find out.... Krrish 3 is a good film. Miles ahead of its predecessor (though sentimental me still prefers Koi Mil Gaya), it has a good enough story to keep you interested and the pace is good throughout. There are moments that are just not needed and overdone (because saving an old grumpy man would simply not play on our heart-strings like saving a cute baby), some of the action scenes are just weird (I kept singing Cause baby you make me tongue-tieeeeed, tongue tiiied...... in my head through the weirdest one – and btw how unhygienic it all was!) and AGAIN, ironically, the special effects look average. What I couldn´t grasp was the fact nobody, including Kangana´s character, realized Krishna is Krrish. The dude is not acting super secretive while in his costume – he sits down with everyone and chats (and apparently has a box of spare bracelets to give out for free) after all. The dude has green eyes and six fingers and nobody suspects anything? Not even when they are capable of making his statue and have his IDENTICAL father reveal it? Sorry, I am not buying that. Vivek Oberoi as Kaal is impressive – at least up until the moment he decides to wear a seriously embarrassing armour, and so is Kangana Ranaut as a mutant. I suppose when she is forced to be subtle, she can really be great. Her change of heart was not too well explored, but it was sufficient still. Priyanka is better than the last time, but she really is „just there“. The role was not demanding at all. Coming to Hrithik Roshan, this time we do not have to make a choice between Rohit and Krrishna as we get them both. And Hrithik delivers as both – this time actually a lil more as Krrishna. Not a Best Actor award winning performance, but solid enough to be regarded as one of the better ones this year. Look at the whole franchise: bollywood-ish.blogspot.cz/2013/12/krrish-franchise.html

I did not like it. I am not much of a superhero type of a movie person anyway. I fall asleep when buildings are being destroyed.

Here's what I posted on the "Recently Watched" thread after watching Krrish: Hahahaha. OK, this was a fun time, but it felt so '90s in some ways. I kept thinking, "How can Priyanka and Hrithik be in a 90s movie?" Oh, I just remembered one reason I felt like it was 90s. The song "Aao Sunao Pyar Ki Ek Kahani" has, at key points, practically the same tune as "Bholi Si Surat" from Dil To Pagal Hai. I don't think that kind of role suits Priyanka. But I had to laugh at how thoroughly Naseeruddin Shah seemed to enjoy using his considerably acting prowess to ham up the villain role, and how exquisitely Rekha sank into the "filmi Maa" avatar. Awesome.
