The cinematic landscape has witnessed iconic characters like 'Superman', 'Batman', and 'King Kong', but 'Krrish' offers a distinctive flair that sets it apart. Hrithik Roshan's performance is nothing short of extraordinary, as he effortlessly navigates through the air, synchronized with Rajesh Roshan's somewhat lackluster musical score, showcasing special effects that elevate Indian cinema to new heights.

In 'Krrish', audiences are transported into a realm of masked fantasy where the stakes are monumental, paralleling the superhero's breathtaking leaps as he battles a villain, portrayed with a menacing glint by Naseeruddin Shah.

While the film's initial segments may feel a bit sluggish, the latter part of this vibrant journey into comic-book fantasy is executed with unwavering conviction and authenticity.

The film's narrative is marked by familiar tropes, yet it introduces a hero who exudes elegance and composure while overcoming challenges. The first half may show signs of formulaic storytelling, particularly in scenes where the village-raised Hrithik attempts to impress the globe-trotting journalist Priyanka Chopra, reminiscent of classic 1960s musicals.

However, the second half escalates into exhilarating action sequences that have rarely been seen in Hindi cinema. Notably, the scenes depicting Krrish's father and the villain foreseeing their fates are brilliant examples of inventive storytelling. Rakesh Roshan skillfully merges traditional conventions with groundbreaking visuals, creating a synthesis that redefines escapism in Indian films.

Hrithik's portrayal transitions from a simple villager with superpowers to a masked hero in Bangkok, infusing the film's fantasy with a blend of innocence and subtle confidence. His romantic moments with Priyanka Chopra are charming, although her character feels somewhat subdued amidst the film's dynamics.

The warmth in Hrithik's interactions with his on-screen grandmother, Rekha, is palpable, despite the challenge of accepting her as a grandparent. Naseeruddin Shah's portrayal of the antagonist is so compelling that viewers may wish for more screen time with him. Priyanka's character embodies the ambitious forces that threaten the hero's innocent nature.

The director emphasizes that 'Krrish' stands apart from other superhero films like 'Superman' and 'Spiderman', asserting that it possesses a unique identity. He highlights that Hrithik performs his own stunts without relying on special effects, making this film a one-of-a-kind experience where the hero does not resemble any comic book character.

'Krrish' continues the narrative from 'Koi... Mil Gaya', inspired by the elaborate fantasy of 'Lord of the Rings'. The director believes that sequels can succeed in India if they are well-crafted, challenging the notion that audiences shy away from them.

The director acknowledges that Indian cinema has historically lagged behind Hollywood in terms of spectacle due to budget constraints. However, he asserts that 'Krrish' achieves remarkable visual effects within its financial limits, promising viewers an experience that surpasses its predecessor.

He emphasizes that a compelling story is essential, stating that visual effects alone cannot carry a film. The director's commitment to storytelling and emotional depth remains unchanged, even as he adapts to modern techniques. He collaborates closely with a diverse team of writers to ensure the film resonates with contemporary audiences.

Approximately 60% of 'Krrish' was filmed in Singapore, chosen for its urban landscape. The Singapore tourism board facilitated the shoot by providing necessary permissions, allowing the crew to block roads during peak hours, a feat that would be challenging in Mumbai.
