hemantkhan,
Seriously, you actually think this movie was good?
The songs sucked, the acting was horrible, the editing was dumb, and the story was childish and campy, among other problems
I don't care how much money a movie made. "James Bond's Die Another Day" might be one of the worst movies ever, yet it was a success financially. On the other hand, "Kingdom of Heaven," which is at least 100x better than that "Die another day" crap and 1,000,000,000x better than Krrish, lost money financially. Just because something makes a lot of money and gets the label on a "blockbuster" doesn't mean its good. It just means people were dumb enough to go see it.
You said:
" I think you have mentality like many Indian-Americans who, in the hopes of fitting into American society, try to criticize everything Indian. Just so a few white people look and you and say "oh look, this guy is laughing at Indians, so he can't be one."
Other than your seemingly culturally racist attitude, nice attempt at reverse psychology bro, but no. Like i've said many times on this forum, I don't care where and in what language a movie is from, I just look to see if it is good or not. Krrish falls into the "not good" category. In case you're wondering, I actually like a lot of Indian films, just not too many after 1990 (except for Lagaan and very few others). My favorite film is actually neither english nor hindi. It's Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" You should check it out...although you must have some brains to understand it, but seeing how you like Krrish shows that you don't, maybe you shouldn't.
The reason I make fun of Krrish a lot, is because idiots like you who haven't seen too many films outside Bollywood and DO have the mentality to prove somehow that Bollywood films are superior to Hollywood films are for some reason or another worshipping this piece of crap. Like I've said before, this is a nice stepping stone for the sci-fi genre in Indian films. However, you can't call this film great and set it as the standard on how future sci-fi films are going to be made.
I problem I have with the current Bollywood films is that most of their movies are almost exactly the same thing in terms of visual style, story format, editing, and acting. Most of the stories tend to be copies or remakes of foriegn films. Afterall, wasn't this movies' prequel a remake of ET.
I was actually watching this Indian show on ETV the other day. It was some show dealing which supernatural forces and stuff. Anyways, they actually cut and pasted portions of "Electra" into it. There were actual scenes from the movie "Electra" (a film I would call just as bad as Superman I). They weren't retakes or anything, but entire digital cutting and pasteting. I think the name of it was Nagastram or something.
Now, as far as Krrish being copying other films...I only thought that the fact that the female lead was a reporter was kinda funny. Other than that and only that, I don't think Krrish really copied any other films. However, it still sucked.
His power was the ability to skip. Maybe they should have ripped of another superhero's power. ;)
