Changes: KRRISH

Revision as of 07:09, 6 February 2008

Krrish,a typical Hollywood special effects summer blockbuster, only that it has a unique Indian soul and the quintessential Bollywood elements. It is an accomplished blend of Indian popular storytelling ,western technology and Asian action and it's historic success in India, proves how successful this fusion is.Surprisingly, unlike most Hollywood film, where technology and action takes precedence, here special effects are minimally and virtuously used and most of the emphasis is on the emotional journey of the protagonist, who is reborn as the superhero, only towards the end, shifting to sci-fi action and concluding in a mesmerising ground-air-sea helicopter chase sequence,supported by an awesome and adrenaline-pumping background score.

-Krrissh
-The film is very involving. You get involved in all the things in the world, except for watching the film. And that is what happened with me. Presenting some mediocre PJ’s inspired from the mediocrity of the film. Please don’t praise me. Praise the film and its makers who inspire me with this super-power!
-Granny Krrish to He-Krrish: Beta, how will you go to Singapore?
-He-Krrish: BY AIR, ma!
-Why was Krrish shot in Singapore, not Bangalore?
-Because over there, the FLYING RATES ARE LOW!
-What did the village grosser tell Granny-Krrish when she asked for hair dye?
-DIE ANOTHER DAY!
-What does Krrish say to Naseer uncle in the film?
-Where ART thou?!
-What did He-Krrish do when he saw Kris Lee doing acrobatics on the streets of Singapore?
-HE GOT CARRIED AWAY!
-What did Krrish say to his granny in India when he calls her from Singapore?
-Granny, I am on ROAMING!
-Why do we always see a packet of TIDE in Krrissh’s village house kitchen?
-Because the doctor told him to always eat TIDEY food!
-What did he Krrish and she Krrissh do when they went drinking?
-They got HIGH!
-What did he-Krrish and she-Krrish do from the skyscrapers of Singapore?
-FALL IN LOVE!
-What song did she-Krrish sing when she is kidnapped by the nasty villains?
-Krrish you were here!
-Some of Krissh’ favorite songs
-I believe I can fly, Aint no building high enough (on flying in Bangalore)
-Why did she Krrissh’s instructor catch cold?
-Because instead of blowing into the whistle, he blew into the inhaler hanging perpetually from his neck like a cross.
-Krrissh! From the very start, it grabs your attention and reminds you of the ticket price. Enters a FATHER who looks like all his life he wanted to do this role. The camera angle are hilariously wide, the FATHER looks almost as large as Adnan Sami in a Surf Excel ad. The insanity continues with villagers with in-built microphones in their voice boxes, horses who don’t raise a voice against their molestation by Krrissh himself, teachers who cant think of more innovative ways of paedophile than a freak IQ test shot in haunting room formerly used in Ramsay films (extinct now, for good) with all the more hilarious questions (unfortunately, I missed most of them because I couldn’t help falling from my seat) . Now that I think, there could be an entire film just with that one scene. It has such immense potential.
-Why don’t you act in outside productions?
-Because I will have to ACT there.
-Why do you draw freak sketches of your parents to scare your Granny?
-How else will I advertise for Faber Castell in the film then?
-Why do you do other students’ homework?
-Because I will never be punished for it.
-Why don’t you call Jaadu again through that freak alien-calling-device that your dad left in his legacy?
-Because in the last film, people remembered him more than me. if I call him again, he will again hog all the limelight.
-Why do you display your powers in public when your granny has asked you not to do so?
-I get carried away!
-Do you have a flying license?
-No, I am running a BETA version (of my dad).
-Who do you think is more dumb- your dad or you?
-I am not gonna reveal the plot of our next film so easily!
-Why does your heroine always shout when she sees you?
-Because my dad told her, when you can’t act, SHOUT!
-Why doesn’t your dad feature in Krrish?
-Because he is still fighting a case filed by the scientists who forgot how to call aliens after they saw him in the last film.
-Haven’t the aliens sued you?
-No, we had an OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT!
-Salim & Sulaiman could not have given a worse background score. I hope this is not their creative demise.
-Some sequences are impressive. Hrithik does try, and tries very hard at that! Alas! If only he could use all the money to make this one a memorable Indian superhero flick. And apart from that, I would like to question all the people who are calling it a first of sorts, have you never heard of a MR. INDIA?
-Has to be experienced with one’s own eyes! And please keep them eyes open till the end to see the extraterrestrial streak in the sky at the stroke of the miraculous music that even wakes the aliens up!
-For an amazing review, after reading which, I decided not to write an elaborate one, go to
