There is Superman, Batman, Spiderman and then there is Krrish. Yes, they are all superheroes. Fighting the bad guys and saving the day. But this one’s born and brought up on Indian soil. Our first-ever home grown superhero. Something to be proud of? Definitely. Something to be even more proud of? The way director Rakesh Roshan has handled Krrish 3. Twenty minutes into the film and you know there’s nothing random about it. Each scene has you hooked and it moves seamlessly at a brisk pace.

The script has all the elements an exciting superhero film must have. A vulnerable masked crusader, a malevolent super villain, who’s as far away from redemption as heaven is from hell. A revenge story. And the ultimate battle – the triumph of good over evil (wait for the climax!). The best part? It isn’t an all-indulgent film that focusses only on the greatness of Krrish. Sure, there are scenes that display his absolute power and goodness but hey, what the hell, isn’t superherogiri what we all really crave to see in this kind of a film?

While the first half is mainly to establish the characters, it’s the second half that holds your attention till the last frame. Considering 75 per cent of the film has VFX, the graphics seem a bit sketchy in a few initial scenes. But where it matters the most, like the climax, it’s bang on!

Among the songs, Dil tu hi bata is definitely the pick of the lot. Coming to the star cast, this is Hrithik Roshan’s film all the way. He dons the roles of Rohit, Krrish and Krishna with ease. His performance evokes all the right emotions. You love him as Rohit, you desire him as the doting husband Krishna and you want to see him triumphant as Krrish. HR is our only superhero. Period.

But it must be said that Vivek Oberoi lends ample and more support to HR. If HR is a superhero, VO is the perfect super villain. It is a towering performance. From his menacing entry right up to the end. The leading ladies have equally fleshed out parts. While Priyanka Chopra is good as the love of Krrish’s life, it’s Kangana Ranaut who stands out. Besides looking her part, stunning and sexy, she’s also managed to work on her diction and speech problems. You will see a new and improved Kangana in this film.

Hats off to Rakesh Roshan for dreaming big and actually pulling off this risky proposition. Krrish 3 is spectacular, blockbuster entertainment. The scenes that are heavily inspired from hit Hollywood superhero franchises notwithstanding.

Since Krrish 3 has come on the Diwali weekend, expect the film to be huge among the kids who love this masked superhero.

The final verdict? Yes, Krrish 3 is not perfect. But it has all the elements a good, entertaining film must have. All you Marvel superheroes, better watch out. Krrish is here to stay.
