Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

In a interview , vivek oderoi said that he's role was inspired from Batman's the Joker. But in the movie his role was taken from X men's magneto and professor x

I don't even know where to start. We sometimes watch terrible movies for laughs. "So bad it's good" is a thing, right? Unfortunately, Krrish 3 doesn't fit that description. This -I hesitate to call it a "movie"-is 160 minutes of incomprehensible nonsense, coupled with:-acting that makes The Room look like Casablanca -special effects that look like a failed PS2 bargain basement game trailer -costume design that is SO bad, it has to be intentional -a plot line so utterly content-free that they have to fill up 50% of the film with superfluous song-and-dance numbers -cinematography so flat, it looks like a home video of tweens acting out a Power Rangers fight scene 20 years ago.I really can't make much more of it. This is the worst thing I've ever seen. Don't watch it. Ever.

Krrish 3 (2013) is a bit of a mess. The film's greatest strengths lie in the continuity it maintains with its predecessors, Koi Mil Gaya (2003) and Krrish (2006), and the seemingly genuine passion from behind the camera to make a true superhero epic. Of course, Krrish 3 creates about as many visuals as it borrows from existing superhero films, but this attempt to stand toe-to-toe with Hollywood actually gives the film a slight upper-hand; its hero is actually heroic. Compare Krrish 3 to another superhero film released the same year, Man Of Steel. The latter was critically derided for its overabundance of destruction with seemingly no consequences, as the titular Superman fights Zod and his cronies with no regard for the innocent lives all around him. Krrish, on the other hand, takes care in trying to save any civilians caught in the crossfire of his climactic fight with antagonist Kaal. Perhaps the film's best sequence is when Kaal spots this "weakness" in Krrish and deliberately brings down a building in order to distract him. Krrish takes Kaal's punches while barely managing to stop the debris from hitting the civilians below, and ultimately takes the brunt of its force himself in order to save a baby. Is it cheesy? Yes. But is it also an extension of the heroism the film boasts as its thematic through-line? Absolutely.The film's other highlights can be found in its more character-driven scenes, hearkening back to relationships and characters established in previous films. Hrithik Roshan's dual performance as father Rohit Mehra and son Krishna Mehra is a pretty spectacular one. Their scenes struck me as the most interesting ones, such as Rohit injecting Krishna with Kaal's virus and Rohit's final sacrifice via sun-based technology, which he came to understand via his alien friend from the first film, Jadoo. Using the previous film's villain, Dr. Arya, and a familiar connection with our leads as the basis for our new villain, Kaal, was also a clever use of continuity. Unfortunately, as interesting as all the heroics and continuity may be, it simply doesn't add up to much. Perhaps if the film was shorter, or chose to focus more on character beats rather than action beats, it could better leave its audience with the sense that "good always triumphs over evil" and "anyone can be a hero," as it is so intent to. These are well trodden and clichéd superhero themes to be sure, but that doesn't mean they can't still work, or result in a great film.The film's biggest missed opportunity comes in the character Kaya, one of Kaal's mutants, who is capable of changing her physical appearance. Initially, she is tasked with impersonating Krishna's wife Priya in order to discover how Rohit was able to create an antidote to Kaal's virus. However, living with Krishna proves an eye-opening experience for the sheltered laboratory experiment, as she finds herself drawn to Krishna's kindness. She even gets a taste of heroism when Krishna, out of costume, saves a woman from falling to her death in a shopping mall, and Kaya catches the woman's baby. She is rewarded with congratulations from onlookers. All the positive attention confuses her until Krishna flat out explains to her, again out of costume and in front of the gathered crowd, what Krrish stands for and how brave actions on anyone's part represents that. How no one has figured out Krishna's superhero identity is completely beyond me. Kaya's experiences with Krishna ultimately lead her to switch sides and turn against Kaal. She helps Krrish to rescue his kidnapped wife and leads him to Kaal's fortress. For this, she is killed by Kaal and dies a quick, wordless death in Krrish's arms. If this summary of Kaya's role in the film sounds fleshed-out and satisfactory, it really isn't.Kaya is an interesting idea that is never really fleshed out as a character, her interest in Krishna stemming less from a desire to discover herself separate of Kaal, and more from a passing romantic attraction. This also results in a fantasy musical number in which Kaal dances and sings with Krishna outside the temple from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Here we find another of the film's hurdles; being a Bollywood production. I've admittedly not seen many Bollywood films, but the gist of those I have seen are romance and music. Krrish 3's predecessors did a fine job of integrating both, with Rohit and Krishna falling for their respective sweethearts with appropriately placed and fun musical sequences. Krrish 3 is at an immediate disadvantage as our lead is already married, hence the manufactured non-romance between Kaya and Krishna. Without the romance to drive the musical numbers, each one comes off as unnecessary and ultimately forgettable. If possible, I would recommend completely dropping any musical sequences from the proposed Krrish 4, or at least find a better way of integrating them, such as the circus sequence from Krrish (2006).Overall, Krrish 3 is only a slightly above-average film. If not for its heroism and flirtation with interesting ideas, it would be a totally average film, not quite terrible enough to disregard, and not quite good enough to recommend. As it is, Krrish 3 succeeds more than it fails, but those failures keep it from reaching the bar the film sets for itself, both in trying to compete with Hollywood and telling a complete story. P.S. If Krrish 4 ever comes to be, allowing Kaya a fuller character arc would significantly make up for Krrish 3's shortcomings. In Kaal's words, "Only those who are born can die," so it should be easy enough to bring her back.

Scientist Rohit Mehra lives with his son Krishna "Krrish" Mehra (both played by Hrithik Roshan) in Mumbai. Krishna is married to Priya (Priyanka Chopra) who works as a journalist for Aaj Tak. Rohit works in a research institute for the Indian government and Krishna, while moon lighting as the superhero Krrish, is regularly fired from various day jobs due to lack of attendance. Rohit is researching on a device that will bring life to dead tissues by the use of solar energy. Despite several attempts, he fails to complete the experiment due to the high intensity of sun rays.
