krrish = headache

where do i begin ????
to tell the story of how dumb a movie can be........
the sickly sweet story that we are unfortunate to see....
the simple truth abt wat suckers movie goers can be...
where do i start????


hmm... try singing that like the "love story" ost,,, im hoping u'll find it catchy... :P who am i kidding? that was DUH! to say the least... okie dokie... thats neither here nor there... only,,, i was thinking how best to go abt writing a review for "krrish" and all that came to my mind was this one sentence : "where do i begin???" that led to the ridiculous italicised words right at the beginning of this post... i humbly apologise for testing ur patience! :P

hmmm... krrish... krrish... its been quite sometime since i saw that movie... not that, that matters... i didnt remember anything right after i left the theatre either... which just goes to prove there wasnt anything worth remembering... :P okie dokie... will try to refrain from going off on tangents n will stick to outlining the story, adding candid comments on the way (i cant help it, even if i were to try...) so yeah, the story begins with this chubby boy (cant believe they wanted us to believe that chubby creature wud turn into hritik! talk abt fat turning into muscle!), with an exceptional iq... this chubby creature,,, okie i'll cut the suspense... he's krishna... mrs.mehra's (rekha's) grandson... the princie of the school that Krishna goes to, wants to get an iq test done... as the test progresses, the faculty are spellbound by the answers the lil (no... not really lil) boy gives... rekha stands listening too... n then she rushes in n carries the child away... turns out, she doesnt want her grandson coming to a sticky end, coz of his powers, like his father (sr hritik) did... (preity prolly had date probs, coz all we see of her is the photo on the wall with a garland n one measly scene later on...) now both preity n sr. hritik are dead... thats wat we infer from the photos on the wall with the garlands hung on it... so rekha panics and takes her grandson kahin door....


now.... in kahin door, the other kids of krishna's age find him pretty much a freak,,, they come to this happy conclusion based on the weird stuff krishna does... like kicking a football right into nowhere, n demolishing a boulder simply by flinging a stone at it n stuff... so yup... no one wants to play with him... result : krishna befriends the animals n the birds... like a typical tamil/hindi movie of old,,, the guy runs n as he runs, he grows... n thats when we get to see the rippling muscles.... oooh! nice, but kinda unreal... ;) anywayz, the guy is a young hunk now... enter priyanka chopra... shes called priya in the movie... krishna is out one day in the woods, when he sees a hang-glider crash... he leaps, jumps, bounds n then climbs up a tree n helps priya's descent to earth become a memorable one... ive to add here, that the things priyanka did in these scenes, all in the name of acting, really truly annoyed me... aaaarrrrgggghhhh!

turns out priya is on a camping trip... she befriends krishna... how exactly??? well u have to watch the movie for that... it aint substantial enuff for me to describe here, n i dont particularly want to tax my brain, thinking of stuff that i didnt permit to enter in the first place... anywayz, after the ur-safe-in-my-arms bit (the rescue! ppl!), it was but natural anywayz... okie so there is a song, some lovely locales are shown to us... n then.... its time for priyanka to leave to s'pore where she works as a reporter....

now, this is where the story (or the lack of it) starts... as our dear ole priyanka has stayed away from work for too long, she earns her boss' wrath... her friend (dont know this females name, but she played the anoying "pari" in jassi jaisi...), anywayz, this friend brainwashes priya into thinking that krishna will help them get out of the mess (the one with the boss, i mean)... how? u ask? well... by videoing his superman stunts, they'll help the ratings of their tv channel hit the stratosphere.. anywayz... to get the guy to s'pore, priya lies that she loves him.. the guy quarrels with his daadi n makes it eventually,,, but yup,with his daadi's words ringing in his ears... "keep ur identity concealed...".... anywayz, he befriends this acrobat guy in s'pore... n the guy invites him over to the circus where he works... anywayz, to cut an exceptionally long n boring story short, the circus tent catches fire n THIS is the birth of KRRISH! krishna puts on a mask to keep his identity concealed n saves ppl from the inferno...

anywayz... theres this security chief (or some such thing) who gets in touch with krishna n unleashes a flashback... the pointless story begins to show some effort to get somewhere... it so happens krishna's dad ie rohit... with his exceptional talents is sent for by nasarudeen shah (some big shot guy in s'pore... think he owns some think-tank or something...)... now shah wants rohit to develop a computer which can see the future... for wat he explains are good reasons... rohit succeeds too... n when rohit is showing the security chief (or some such thing ;)) how the "bhavishya ko dekne wala computer" works, the comp shows them that shah finishes rohit off by shooting him... rohit is highly upset at this particular bit of info (who wudnt be? uve got to excuse the guy).... n wat angers him most is that shah plans on using the BKDWC (bhavishya ko dekne wala computer) for wrong reasons... in short "world domination" (just like every other baddie in all other super-hero stories do)... so he smashes up the comp... :P now the thing we have to note here is that the password to operate the comp are rohits heart beat (again, or-some-such-thing) n a scan of his retina (or some such thing :P)... so when shah is abt to finish him off for real, the security chief, gets rohit a lease on life, by informing shah abt this... so rohit is spared his life, but is kept in a bizzare (read hilarious) vegetable state, where only his brain functions, but all else doesnt...

meanwhile, shah gets another panel of experts to duplicate the BKDWC n they succeed after 20 long yrs, using rohits notes (yet again, or some such thing)... :P so shah logs on too into the future n sees his being killed by the masked man... now... krrish, not wanting his identity to be disclosed had earlier on persuaded his acrobat friend to identify himself as the masked man... now... shah finishes him (the acrobat) off n considers himself safe... but nah! he's wrong... krrish, priya n the SC (sec chief) land on shah's island (note how islands are always found to be salubrious by baddies...)... to cut a long story short, krrish with his amazing powers saves the day n the evil dr.someone or the other, or shah as i know him, is dead.... the father, son n dotter in law go bak to india n rekha is as happy as can be... the movie ends with jadoo being contacted again n the family saying a brief "thankyou"....

now... heres wat i have to add abt the movie:

1. apart from a few scenes, there isnt really anything to gape open mouthed at... (except ofcourse at the stupidity in certain scenes)
2. last i saw, jadoo had given rohit his powers back, so how come he still behaves like a loony? (hritik prolly aiming at awards for good acting...)
3. have to admit, i thought hritik looked awesome with that mask on... (n without, in a few scenes)...
4. there was this "just imagine" character, whom i felt was better left out of my entry...
5. i heard the movie is a big hit... ppl who think it was awesome are prolly demented or not-more-than-10-yrs-old, so please refrain from posting comments against my entry... if beyond this u do, then its obvious one of the 2 above reasons is true....
6. hritik still dances like a dream...
7. God! there shudnt be a sequel!
