scientific brilliance to benefit society. And Krrish is everyone's favorite
superhero saviour. He lives with his wife Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and father

world. Kaal, an evil genius, is selfishly misusing his powers to spread fear,
death and destruction. And he is being assisted by an army of very dangerous
beings, which he has created himself. Hell breaks loose when a virus spreads in
the city.Rohit finds a cure for it but manages to earn the wrath of Kaal (Vivek
Oberoi) who releases his army of mutants or Manwars (Manav + jaanwars) on his
family. Krrish has to save his family, his city, it's people and
overpower this super villain.

Let me assure you right
at the onset that Rakesh Roshan has packed din enough in the film to make a Krrish fan
get his/her money's worth. A superhero franchise escapade that delivers fully
on it's promise and raises the bar for future desi superhero films. It's movie
escapism at it's best.
Krrish 3 is an
entertaining mix of spectacle and human-scale drama. Roshan combines his
imagination and flair to deliver a film that is sure to capture everyone's
imagination. It has something for everybody. For a superhero film fan there are
fantasy characters, a super villain, full scale heroism, plot twists and superb
action.
For a Bollywood fan,
there is enough emotion, drama, love story and songs. For the bachchaparty
there are plenty of exciting and exhilarating moments. The film is fast-paced,
the effects are smashing, and what works is that Krrish is engaging and endearing
even when he is is out of costume.
Krrish may be a
superhero but it is his human side that is so appealing. Hrithik Roshan is
oh-so-watchable in every frame. He owns both the roles with such ease. Kangana
Ranaut is delightful as an alien making the weird hair and clothes work for
her. She even manages to make you feel her pain. Quite an accomplishment that!
Every action adventure needs a memorable villain. Vivek Oberoi as Kaal ensures
you won't ever forget his act. Priyanka is saddled with a role that doesn't do
her justice. She deserved a meatier role.

It's a gallery of
product placements, which ruins the movie experience repeatedly.The music could
not have been worse. The film — aimed more at kids, than adults gets a little
complicated at times, making you wonder if the young ones will be able to grasp
it. It is highly derivative. It borrows heavily from almost every superhero
film you have seen. If I had to list them, it would take up the entire review's
space.
Experience it..
This is the kind of
film one can unabashedly enjoy for what it is. Go on, indulge the superhero fan
in you.
