Krrish

Sequel to Koi Mil Gaya, the original team assimilates Priyanka Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah and an additional cast of Singaporean actors to this superhero movie.
Krishna lives with his grandmother, Sonia, and one day his school principal discovers that the boy has exceptional IQ. Fearing for his safety, Sonia takes Krishna away to live quietly in a little village in Manali and protects him from the world. Most of the kids around do not befriend him, since his powers scare them off. He grows up with nature and mostly alone.
One day, he rescues a beautiful woman, Priya, to whom he loses his heart and gains the friendship and awed respect of all her friends. When they leave, he misses her a lot.
When Priya and friends return home, they find out they have been sacked. To save their jobs, Priya lies to Krishna about her non-existent love for him and invites him to Singapore. Krishna argues with his grandmother, since she doesn't want him to leave and herein, he finds out the secret of his parents' death.
His father, Rohit, was a genius and he is invited by Arya, a renowned scientist, to build a machine that sees the future. When the machine is ready, Rohit is killed in a lab fire. His mother dies in shock.
The next morning, Sonia prepares for Krishna's departure and he promises that he would keep his powers a secret. When he reaches Singapore, he makes a new friend - Christian. He visits his friend's circus and he is forced to reveal his powers by rescuing some kids in danger, when a fire breaks out in the tent. He finds a broken mask - such that he keeps his promise and yet save the people. Entire world is thankful and curious about 'Krrish'. Christian finds out about the true identity, but Krishna asks him to take the identity and the reward for his little sister's operation.
Priya begins to truly fall in love with Krishna. She finds a tape from the circus and discovers that Krrish is Krishna and when she is preparing the tape to hand it over to her boss, Krishna partially overhears about how the whole incident started with a lie. He is heartbroken and heads back to India, in spite of Priya apologising. But, he finds out that his father is still alive through one of his old friends.
Arya wanted to kill Rohit so that Rohit can never help a competition, but the old friend saves Rohit by telling Arya that the machine needs Rohit as the password. So Rohit is kept alive in a machine in a vegetative state, but the world thinks he is dead.
Now, Krishna gets back to Arya and gets his revenge and brings his father back home.
The movie was fast paced and Hrithik really pulled off the superhero stint very well. The movie was slightly reminiscent of Hollywood flick Paycheck, with the future-seeing machine, but different in other ways.
The songs weren't upto the usual Rajesh Roshan mark, although the background music was very atypical of Hindi music - since they had a very Southern Indian classical music tinge - something that might have emerged out of Rahman's or Vidyasagar's keys. But Hrithik amazed me with his dance, as always. Except for the gruelling 3-hour length sitting on a rotten blood-flow-cutting chair, I have no other thumbs down for this movie.
