Warning:This review is going to contain some amount of profane language that can be only fit for reviewing a movie like this.
To begin with from the very first instance when they had the contest to win Lava/Karbonn or some phone for the tweet that finally manages to reveal the full poster of Krissh3 (each tweet breaks some piece of the poster on some god forbidden site and so the contest), I knew this is going to be one fucked up movie. I mean which person with a sane mind would want to get such sick phones as gift. Given a choice, I would rather delete my twitter account than tweet on the hype of #Krissh3. This was much before any sneak peek of the movie.
Then came the trailers. Glimpse of mutants, Hrithik vrooming around from one end to other closely resembling Shaktiman albeit with two hands on his side rather than having two in the front. Face fully contorted, landing on top floor of building in a setting that looks nothing like any city in India, Hrithik starts running and the scene shifts to him in battle with something that looks like a badly made robo-cop suit. Just when you think to say not bad, you see the elder Hrithik on screen and then you are screwed.
Days passed on and finally the movie was about to hit the screens. I was waiting for it with as much anticipation as waiting to get into office lift. I didn't give a fuck. Some twisted fate or rather the obligations of marriage forced me to go to this movie. You see there is an unwritten rule in the house that says for movies that either of us want to see the other have to go. My wifey chose this and I had to see it. Not hard and fast but ya something close to it. Now let me get on with the review
Plot -
Krishna Mehra (Hrithik) and Priya Mehra (Priyanka Chopra) are living happily in a nice remote place that looks like outskirts of a hill station. Grandma Rekha and bubbly Zinta are dead and elderly challenged Rohith Mehra(again Hrithik) from the utterly forgettable Koi Mil Gaya is now living with them making some crazy experiments and part of the elite scientific team doing some R&D for Indian government. Krishna works as a security guard in a bank along with Rajpal Yadav earning his living non-super hero way and in parallel doing some desh sheva. Meanwhile in a palace/lab far far away in picturesque Swiss Alps, there is evil brewing . A quadraplegic telekinetic evil scientist Kaal (Vivek Oberoi)is on a quest to get a bone marrow treatment from a possible suitor that can cure his disability. In this endevour he creates some by-products solely through his lab and intellectual prowess called Manvaars a.k.a mutants. Each of them have their own skill and name. All this by the way is explained through voice-over. In an attempt to propogate their evilness further they unleash a deadly virus in Africa which starts killing people. The only person the entire world can now look up to is Rohit and is called upon to work on antidote. By the time he figures it out, Kaal's empire is ready with it. Satisfied that their havoc worked, they next target Mumbai. Three mutants are sent out to accomplish this job to unleash the virus. Endemic ensues and people start to die mercilessly. Krissh is rattled to the bones because his entire sixty pack body can do nothing. Teaming up with his father they miraculously find a cure and Mumbai is saved much to chagrin of Kaal. You see the antidote is only possible to produce with Kaal's blood. The rest of the story is about how Kaal tries to find out what happened also getting to know his origins and the final battle with Krishh.
Things that pissed me off -1. Have you ever seen a statue built for Spider-Man or Bat Man having inaugration ceremony with complete song and dance performance? T-Shirst, masks, posters, graffitis granted but statue? That too one of the most attrocious songs ever. The only Hollywood movies that did have that I can recollect is one in Megamind and the other in The Iron Giant. Both were animated ones. The circumstances that has brought out the statue in the latter movie breaks your heart while the former is intended for comedy scenes.
2. In of the scenes that shows Krissh's bravado, he rescues a kid tangled in wires and safely on top of a ledge of a building. They then continue to have whole 5 minutes of conversation about why he got in the mess in first place. Upon hearing that in an attempt to save a bird stuck in a wire which led him to in the current mesh, with some melodramatic background score Krrish proceeds to tell him that he has done the bravest thing and he goes on tie black band with krish logo on it around his hand telling him "there is krrish in everyone of you". All this while anxious parents are waiting restlessly, completely panicked. I mean, couldn't they add one more small scene of the boy being handed over? (For some time I thought these will play a major role for some catastrophe for deflecting evil virus like people with bands not getting affected then leading mass production of bands, thankfully that didn't happen.)
3. What the hell was that whole situation comedy with Rajpal Yadav and Hrithik about? He boasting that he is Krrissh and the latter arguing he is too short. Are there any takers for such retarded jokes? I am sure even kids would feel it disgusting. A completely wasted role.
4. In the attempts to find out information regarding how the antidote has been created, Kaya (one of the manvars played by Kanagana Ranout) takes the place of Priya by impersonating her. In one of the scenes where Krrish and Kaya a.k.a are talking to each other, every time she faces away from him we are shown that she is Kaya by transforming her face and then immediately changing to Priya when facing Hrithik. Was there any remuneration based on screen time or do they think audience are really stupid and everything needs to be spelt out for them?
5. More than 3/4th of the film Vivek Oberoi is in wheelchair in black robes, kajal laced eyes black lipstick resembling more like a missing member of Addam's family. Is it for this we get to hear that it was one of his toughest roles and Hrithik too trumpeting that he wanted badly to play the villain?
6. Special affects are mediocre at best. As already said before this ain't no Mumbai and some of the scenes where we see Krrish jumping across buildings looks like a lift off from some cartoon.
7. One of the scenes we see a mutant getting cought because he keeps stealing the ice creams with his long tongue. WTF moment right there.
8. In the climax scene we see that Krrish upon getting the know-hows of where Kaal and his wife is, rushes to the place to face his foe. This my folks is akin to pivotal scenes of say any James Bond movie where the showdown of good and evil is gonna take place and you await the grand adrenline rushing-action to unfold. Instead what you see is Krrish barging into Kaal's place with hardly any need for dramatics. A fort as large as our parliament building doesn't even seem to have some guards forget about any military reserve force. So all Krrish had to do was barge in with super speed and fight the mutants in good old fist fight. What the hell are their powers then? Not once in the entire movie barring Kaya the chamelon or the frog man the only power being flicking ice-creams, we never understand what others powers are. Forget about any comparision to X-Men, this doesn't even hold a candle to it.
9. Kaal upon regaining his senses and control of his body, right away gets a ready made suit as you see he is like magneto having ability to control metal. What we see is all the metal pieces getting off the metallic room and clingning to him as the camera rotates 180 degrees. The end result being having jumped into a garbage can full of scrape metals after having applied good amount of fevicol. I mean attrocious. When the scene finishes and end result is shown you can see clearly the briefs near right beneath the torso. WTF were they thinking of putting such a costume? A fancy dress competition gone wrong eh?
10. Kangana Ranout certainly seems to be the most intelligent and confident person going by the interviews she has given. I for one felt this was such a bland performance lacking any acting capabilities. Hoping for sensible roles in future.
11. Lastly why the hell is it Kkrish 3 if Kkrish came into existence in Kkrish that is Koi Mil Gaya later?
I don't think the review came off as I intended as I have already spent over a week on this by writing small bits of the article each day. Also if you folks have noticed there is no spoiler alert as this was intended as every scene in the movie is a worst nightmare to endure and I wanted the people to have that benefit.
Anyways wanted to get this out of my system and flush of Krrish forever as the movie says 'there is krrish in everyone of us'.
