''Krrish'' ( ) is a 2006 Indian superhero science-fiction film The film was directed, produced, and written by Rakesh Roshan, while the screenplay was written by Robin Bhatt, Sachin Bhowmick, Honey Irani, Akarsh Khurana, and Sanjay Masoom. The film is a sequel to ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', and relates the story of Krishna (Hrithik Roshan), the son of the previous film's protagonists who inherits his father's superhuman abilities. After falling in love with Priya (Priyanka Chopra), he follows her to Singapore, where he takes on the persona of "Krrish" to keep his identity secret after saving children from a burning circus. From that moment on he is regarded as a superhero, and must later thwart the plans of the evil Dr. Siddhant (Naseeruddin Shah), who has built a machine capable of seeing the future. The film became the highest grossing film ever until ''Dhoom 2'' released five months later (in the same year) and broke the record.

The film was mainly shot in Mumbai, India and Singapore. The film was considered the first major superhero film to be produced in Bollywood since Shekhar Kapur's ''Mr. India'' (1987). The film's stunts, choreographed by Tony Ching Siu-Tung, were adapted into storyboard before accepted into the film. Several scenes in the film were made using a lot of visual effects, created by Marc Kolbe and Craig A. Mumma.

The film was cited as a new "trend setter" in Indian cinema. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film an aggregate rating of 100% (fresh). Being one of the highest grossing films of the year, ''Krrish'' grossed a total, against a budget. It was a box office success and was elevated to a "blockbuster" rating on Box Office India. A sequel is currently in development.

Plot

The film commences with a twelve-year-old Krishna Mehra undergoing an intelligence quotient test by a professor, who suspects his family have superpowers. Krishna answers all the questions correctly, just as his grandmother Sonia (Rekha) fears, and she takes the young Krishna to a remote mountain village in northern India to conceal his unique abilities. Krishna is abandoned by most of his friends, who believe him to be "weird". There he stays for many years running around the mountainside, racing against horses and developing more abilities. Years later, however, Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) meets camper Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and her friend Honey (Manini Mishra), and they soon become friends after Krishna saves Priya from a hang glider accident, much to the bewilderment of the camping group. Krishna and Priya grow close just before she departs, but Krishna has the stronger feelings of love.

Back in Singapore, Priya and Honey are fired by their boss (Archana Puran Singh) for illegitimately taking an extra five days of holiday leave. However, Honey suggests bringing Krishna to Singapore and making a television program about him. Their boss sees potential in this plan and revokes her previous decision to get rid of them. Aware of Krishna's love towards her, Priya tells Krishna that she loves him to encourage him to join her in Singapore.

The news is taken badly by Krishna's grandmother, who protests that people will want to take advantage of his abilities. She then explains that his father Rohit was hired to help design a machine to see the future by Dr. Siddhant Arya (Naseeruddin Shah) in order to prevent wars and help prepare against natural disasters. But on the night of Krishna's birth, Rohit claimed to her that he was being used. Rohit reportedly died in a laboratory accident that night, with Krishna's mother dying shortly after of a broken heart. Krishna promises his grandmother that he will never reveal his powers, to which Sonia eventually relents and permits him to go. In Singapore, during the production of the television program, Krishna keeps his word. With the program revealing nothing exceptional about him, Priya and Honey are once again fired.

Krishna later meets with Kristian Li (Bin Xia), who is attempting to raise funds to pay for his young sister's leg surgery. He invites Krishna and Priya to the ''Great Bombay Circus'', but during the performance a firework explodes and ignites the tent, which is swiftly evacuated. However, several children remain trapped in the blaze, and Krishna is faced with the dilemma of saving the children without revealing his abilities. He dons a broken black clown's mask and puts his jacket on inside-out, creating the persona of Krrish.

Later, Kristian sees Krrish fighting some goons and removing his mask. He is shocked to learn that his friend Krishna is Krrish. As Krrish is being offered a reward for his deeds, Krishna asks Kristian to assume the identity, so that he can pay for his sister's surgery.

Meanwhile, Priya too comes to know the truth when she sees the footage of her camera (which can be seen in her hand all throughout the circus), in which Krishna can be seen wearing his jacket inside-out and the mask at the circus. She and Honey decide to release the footage on TV to make Krishna a star. During their discussions, Krishna arrives and overhears the girls talking about how Priya had been lying to him and will create a big sensation by revealing his identity to the world. Just before Priya confesses to Honey that in this drama she has genuinely fallen in love with Krishna, he leaves, dejected.

After being confronted by Krishna at his hotel about what she said, Priya realizes her mistake and stops her boss from revealing Krrish's identity. She then meets Vikram Sinha (Sharat Saxena), who has been searching for Krishna for a long time, and takes Sinha to him.

He informs Krishna that his father Rohit is alive. He tells that he and Rohit had become very close friends. After completing the machine, Rohit and Sinha, both tested it and were shocked to see Siddhant holding a gun besides Rohit's head. Rohit understood that Siddhant was going to kill him and then use the machine for his own selfish needs. He calls his mother, telling her that 'I have been used' and then starts pulling out wires and destroying the machine while Sinha rushed off and tried to stop Siddhant. Rohit was able to destroy the machine, but Siddhant entered the room and put a gun beside his head (just as Rohit saw; this visual also confirms that the machine does reveal the future, and whatever it reveals does occur, i.e. it cannot be changed). However, before he could pull the trigger, Sinha entered the room and informed Siddhant that even if he was able to rebuild the machine using Rohit's research and notes, he won't be able to run it because the password was Rohit's eye retina and heartbeat. So Siddhant locks Rohit in a room and announces to the media that Rohit has been killed in a lab accident.

Meanwhile back in the present timeline, Siddhant has rebuilt the computer after many years. He uses the computer to reveal his future and sees Krrish killing him. Siddhant quickly kills Kristian, thinking that he is Krrish. The real Krrish, Krishna, later shadows Siddhant to the island, attacking his henchmen. However, Siddhant looks into the future again, and sees that the visual hasn't changed (giving the audiences a hint that he'll be killed after all). He adjusts the time in the computer to a few minutes back and comes to know that Krrish wants to save Rohit, and Priya and Sinha are also against him. He captures Priya and kills Sinha.

Siddhant orders his thugs to get rid of Krishna. They start attacking Krishna whom resists to attack back until he is hit by a fire extinguisher making him fall to the ground. In fear Rohit tries to fight back but he is pushed to the ground. Krishna and Rohit talk to each other until Siddhant interferes. Krishna with anger counters the thugs and Siddhant. After the vicious fight all of Siddhant's thugs are defeated leaving him the only one left, but Siddhant with the gun shoots at Priya and Rohit, with Krishna saving them by throwing the fire extinguisher at the one of the bullets while he takes the other bullet in the arm. Siddhant panics while Krishna is about to come face to face with him; Krishna stuns Siddhant with his power leaving him in a state of shock while he looks at Krishna.

In the final scene, Krrish punches Siddhant into the machine, killing him (again, just as the visual showed). After revealing to Rohit that he is his son, Krishna takes Priya and Rohit back to India, reuniting him with his mother.

Production

Due to the success of ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', a sequel was prepared, initially titled ''Koi... Tumsa Nahin''. After several months, the Roshans confirmed and announced the film. Preity Zinta was confimed to be replaced by Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, though she said, "Yes. I am in a sequel. The story will start where ''Koi... Mil Gaya'' ended." Rakesh also confimed that the film would not be an "out-and-out action film". Three-fourths of the movie was filmed in Singapore over a month's period, though filming also took place in Mumbai, India.

The locations used in filming include Singapore's famous zoo and Singapore National Library's Plaza. Singapore's police were on the filming location to protect vehicles and other filming equipment. Robinson Road was one of the main filming locations. However, it rained heavily during filming there, causing delays that cost production $25,000. There were traffic blocks because the film's action scenes required no less than 250 feet high industrial cranes weighing 30 tons. Two were used, in case one broke down.

During the film's development, Prakash Jaju, Priyanka Chopra's manager was sued by Rakesh Roshan under a case of threatening calls to him to settle his accounts with Priyanka Chopra. Jaju was also being asked to withdraw his case in court about the film being developed using illegal money. Several incidents also occurred during the film's production stage.

During filming of a flying stunt, one of the wires tied to Hrithik Roshan's leg broke, causing him to fall 50 feet, though he miraculously landed safely on a shop's canopy. Hrithik described the incident as a "freak accident", stating, "I was skydiving to my death till I fell on a six-feet-long canopy of a shop that was out because of the slight drizzle. The canopy had iron rods. But I missed those rods too. What do I say? I guess the right word to describe the situation would be jadoo (magic)." However, Hrithik broke his right thumb and a toe during the strenuous training for the ambitious wire work used in the film. Despite only 25 days of training in China, his instructor, Siu-Tung Ching, thought that he could pull off stunts that usually take years of training. While performing a stunt scene on the circus set, Hrithik suffered a hamstring tear in his right leg. Doctors prescribed bed rest for two weeks, but he continued shooting after only two days by using painkillers.

Considering the film was a superhero film, many visual effects were used, which involved 1,200 shots. Marc Kolbe and Craig A. Mumma created the visual effects for the film. Describing the effects, Rakesh Roshan stated, "If you liked the visual effects in ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', you will find them far better in ''Krrish''. I do not think audiences have seen anything like this in Hindi films."

Reception

''Krrish'' was the second-highest grossing Bollywood film of 2006, according to ''Box Office India'', earning over Rs. 69 crores net gross in India, and was classified as a "blockbuster". The film grossed $4,320,000 in the overseas market and was declared a "Hit" by ''Box Office India''. Bringing it's worldwide total to a 117 crores.

''Krrish'' received generally positive reviews from viewers. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an aggregate rating of 100%, based on 7 reviews. In India, Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama believed that the film "more than [met] the expectations", noting that Hrithik Roshan "[enacted] a role that fits him like a glove" and praising the final forty minutes of the movie. He also enjoyed the action scenes and effects, but felt that there were issues with pacing in the film's first hour, as the plot "doesn't move beyond the romantic scenes". Overall, however, he deemed ''Krrish'' to be "a terrifically exciting and compelling experience", and even considered it superior to ''Superman'', ''Batman'' and ''Spider-Man''. Though Jaspreet Pandohar of BBC was critical of the script for being "low on originality", he praised Hrithik Roshan's performance and the action scenes choreographed by Tony Ching Siu-Tung.

Overseas, Richard James Havis of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "This Bollywood epic crunches together romance, comedy, extraterrestrials, martial arts, dancing and action to tell an entertaining story about a reluctant Indian superhero" but said it may be "far too crazed for foreign viewers". David Chute of ''LA Weekly'' deemed it a "hearty pulp cinema that really sticks to your ribs". Likewise, Ronnie Scheib of ''Variety'' said it was an "enjoyable, daffily improbable escapist romp", with Laura Kern of ''The New York Times'' saying it was a blend of "carefree romance, show-stopping action and sci-fi".

''Krrish'' was one of India's possible nominations for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, but the country ultimately chose ''Rang De Basanti'' as its pick. Despite this, ''Krrish'' has won numerous awards, especially by way of Hrithik Roshan, who won the IIFA Best Actor Award, Star Screen Award Best Actor, Zee Cine Award Best Actor- Male, BFJA - Best Actor Award (Hindi), GIFA Best Actor, and a Filmfare Best Actor Award nomination. The film itself won three Filmfare Awards—Filmfare Best Special Effects Award, Filmfare Best Action Award and Filmfare Best Background Score Award—and was nominated for the awards of Filmfare Best Villain Award, Filmfare Best Director Award, Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award, and Filmfare Best Film Award. The film also won a National Film Awards for Best Special Effects. Priyanka Chopra won the IIFA Award for "Best On-Screen Beauty" for Krrish. She also won POGO Awards "Most Amazing Actress" for her role in the film.

Soundtrack

The film's soundtrack—scored by Rajesh Roshan—was released on 8 November 2006, by T-Series. Salim and Sulaiman won the Filmfare Award for Best Background Score for ''Krrish'' in 2007.

Critical reviews were generally favorable. Joginder Tuteja of ''Bollywood Hungama'' gave the album a rating of 3.5/5, feeling that it was "another good outing for Bollywood music lovers". He especially praised the songs "Chori Chori", "Koi Tumsa Nahi", and "Pyaar Ki Ek Kahani". Sukanya Verma of ''Rediff'' gave a favorable review for the film's "catchy" songs. However, she felt that while the songs meshed with the film, "none of them bear the staying power of Rajesh Roshan's earlier soundtracks like ''Khudgarz'', ''Kishen Kanhaiya'', ''Karan Arjun'' or ''Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai''.

Hrithik Roshan (Hindi: ऋतिक रोशन ; born 10 January 1974) is an Indian actor who appears in Bollywood films.

After having appeared in films as a child actor in the 1980s, Roshan made his film debut in a leading role in ''Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'' (2000) for which Roshan earned his Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. In 2001, he went on to appear in the melodrama ''Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...'', which became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market and his biggest commercial success to date.

Following through with several unnoticed performances from 2002–03, he starred in the commercially successful ''Koi... Mil Gaya'' and its sequel ''Krrish'', both of which won him numerous ''Best Actor'' awards. Roshan received his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 2006 for his performance in the action film ''Dhoom 2''. He later received critical acclaim for his performance in ''Jodhaa Akbar'', for which he received his first international award at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival. These accomplishments have established him as a leading contemporary actor of Hindi cinema.

Biography

Early career, until 1999

Roshan's first movie role was as a child artist when he was six years old in the 1980s movie ''Aasha'', where he appeared in a dance sequence as an extra. Roshan went on to play minor roles in ''Aap Ke Deewane'' (1980) and ''Bhagwan Dada'' (1986) both of which starred his father Rakesh Roshan in the leading role. He then became an assistant director assisting in the production of his father's films ''Karan Arjun'' (1995) and ''Koyla'' (1997).

Breakthrough, 2000–2002

In 2000, Roshan made his film debut as the leading man in the film ''Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'' opposite another debutante actress Amisha Patel. The film, which was directed by his father and saw him playing a double role, proved to be very successful at the box office, becoming the highest grossing film of 2000 and winner of the Filmfare Best Movie Award. Roshan's performance was well-received, and the film made him an overnight star. He eventually received both the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award and the Filmfare Best Actor Award for the role. The film entered the Limca Book of Records in 2003 for the most number of awards won by a Bollywood film – 102 awards.

Later that year, Roshan starred in Khalid Mohammed's ''Fiza''. Although the film did poorly at the box office, his performance was praised, earning him another nomination for ''Best Actor'' at the Filmfare ceremony. Taran Adarsh from ''indiaFM'' noted, "The mainstay of the film is undoubtedly Hrithik Roshan. His body language, his diction, his expressions, his overall persona deserves great praise. With this film, Hrithik proves that there is more to him than just being a fashionable rage, a Mills & Boon lover-boy and a sex symbol. His talent comes to the fore in several scenes, especially those with Karisma. All said and done, the show belongs to Hrithik, who saves ''Fiza'' to a major extent. A brilliant performance undoubtedly!"

Roshan's last release of the year, ''Mission Kashmir'', became the third highest grossing film of the year. His performance was once again acclaimed with one critic praising him, "Hrithik once again cuts a splendid performance as a youngster sucked in the vortex of terrorism. He is portrayed as anti-government in the early part of the film-- a bold role to play for even a seasoned actor, leave alone a budding superstar." All these achievements promoted him as one of the biggest stars in the industry.

Subhash Ghai's ''Yaadein'' was his first release in 2001. This was followed by Karan Johar's melodramatic ''Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'', which did extremely well at the box office, becoming the second-highest grossing film of 2001 and the biggest hit overseas. Roshan's performance was well received and his performance earned him a nomination for ''Best Supporting Actor'' at various award ceremonies.

Roshan had an unsuccessful year in 2002 when all three of his releases – ''Mujhse Dosti Karoge!'', ''Na Tum Jaano Na Hum'' and ''Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage'' – failed to make an impact the box office and were declared flops.

Success, 2003–present

In 2003, he made a comeback with the science-fiction film ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', which saw him playing a mentally disabled young man. The film was the highest grosser of the year and won him many awards, including his second Filmfare Best Actor Award and his first Filmfare Best Actor (Critics) Award. Taran Adarsh noted, "Hrithik Roshan dominates the show and packs in a power-packed performance. The role of a mentally challenged person is no cakewalk, but the actor takes to it like a fish takes to water. He manages to pull off the zero to hero routine exceptionally well. As an actor, he scales dizzier heights with this splendid performance."

Farhan Akhtar's ''Lakshya'' was Roshan's only release in 2004; the film did not do well at the box office. However, his performance was praised by critics.

Roshan took a two-year break from acting before resurfacing with the superhero film ''Krrish'' opposite Priyanka Chopra. A sequel to his 2003 film ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', the film was a major box office success and became the second highest grosser of 2006. His performance as a superhero was praised, earning him many ''Best Actor'' awards at various award ceremonies, including Star Screen and the International Indian Film Academy. ''IndiaFM'' wrote, "To state that Hrithik is the soul of ''Krrish'' would be an understatement. If the actor walked away with all noteworthy awards in ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', it's going to be an encore with ''Krrish''. You cannot imagine any other actor enacting the role of a gifted child with aplomb. If his mask and robe look is splendid, watch his makeup, gait and mannerisms as the aged father and you had agree, he's one of the finest talents on the Indian screen today. ''Krrish'' is yet another ground-breaking film in his dazzling repertoire!"

His next film that year was ''Dhoom 2'', a sequel to the 2004 ''Dhoom''. Featured opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Roshan's performance in the movie not only earned him widespread critical acclaim, but also his third Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film went on to become the highest grossing film of 2006, as well as one of the most successful films of Bollywood.

In 2008, Roshan featured in Ashutosh Gowariker's ''Jodhaa Akbar'' opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He played the historical role of Akbar the Great. The movie did very good business, both in India and abroad. His performance in the movie was widely appreciated by critics, earning him his fourth Filmfare Best Actor Award as well as his first international award for Best Actor at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival in Kazan, Russia.

Roshan then appeared in Zoya Akhtar's ''Luck by Chance'' (2009), in which he made a guest appearance. The following year, he was seen in Anurag Basu's ''Kites'' along with Mexican actress Bárbara Mori and Kangna Ranaut. The film failed to do well at the box office after taking a huge start and was eventually declared a flop. He next acted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ''Guzaarish'' opposite Aishwarya Rai. Upon release, the film received overwhelmingly positive reviews and Roshan's portrayal of Ethan Mascarenhas, a quadriplegic patient earned him several ''Best Actor'' nominations at various award ceremonies.

In July 2011, he appeared in Zoya Akhtar's ''Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'' alongside Farhan Akhtar Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin. The film opened to positive reviews, and Roshan's portrayal was praised. According to Rajeev Masand, "Hrithik Roshan once again brings real depth to his character with a spectacular performance. He’s shy and restrained, then lets go with such fantastic intensity that you make the inward journey with his character". The film was declared as "super-hit" in both in India and Overseas. In the same year Roshan featured as a judge for the dance competition reality show, ''Just Dance'' along with Farah Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant. He is currently filming for the remake of 1990 release ''Agneepath'' in which he will reprise the role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan opposite Priyanka Chopra.

Besides acting, Roshan made his debut as a singer in ''Kites'', and has also sung in the films ''Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'' and ''Guzaarish''.

Personal life

Roshan was born in Mumbai to a family of cinema personalities. His father, film director Rakesh Roshan, is the son of music director Roshan, while his mother, Pinky, is the daughter of producer and director J. Om Prakash. Hrithik has an ''elder'' sister, Sunaina. His uncle Rajesh Roshan is a famous music director. As a child, Roshan attended the Bombay Scottish School. He later attended Sydenham College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Commerce.

During an interview he revealed that his childhood was traumatized because of stammering, a defect that surfaced when he was around six years old and plagues him even today. "For oral tests at school, I used to bunk school, I used to fall sick, I used to break my hand, I used to get a sprain" the actor said. He however said that things improved for him gradually, after he started practicing speech therapies on a daily basis.

Roshan is married to Suzanne Roshan, owner of ''Suzanne Roshan's House of Design'' and daughter of actor Sanjay Khan. The couple have two sons, Hrehaan, born in 2006 and Hridhaan born in 2008. Roshan has two thumbs on his right hand. Although it is usually hidden in his films, it was not hidden in ''Koi... Mil Gaya'', and was even used as a minor plot point, as the alien was also designed to have two thumbs.

Awards and honours

Among other awards, Roshan has won six Filmfare Awards, four of which are in the Best Actor category.

His life-size wax figure was installed at London's prestigious Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on 20 January 2011, making him the fifth Indian actor to have been replicated as a wax statue in the museum.
