Krrish: Batman + Superman + Tarzan + Neo(Matrix)........ ... dudes WTF!!!


Bollywood did it again. Copy Synthesis of Batman, Superman, Tarzan and Neo(Matrix). Where's the creativity? Why doesn't Bollywood ever try to come up with its own creativity. Moreover, i rate the acting skills zero for both Hrithik n Priyanka and Zero realism. India is becoming amongst the top scientific nations in the world n we still end up making copy synthesis of hollywood movies. Y on earth should we bring up hollywood extraterrestrial fantasies to bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan clearly explained that Bollywood is no more Bollywood but the Indian Film Industry. But we still love copying Hollywood.

yada yada yada yada, been there, heard that, its not cool anymore

This is YOUR LIFE and it is ending one minute at a time!

if hollywood copies hollywood its fine, wha thesai_r is basically saying is that bollywood needs to be a bit more original.

reply

Nothing's original anymore. We, who usually watch Hollywood films, are given recycled crap all the time. So what if Bollywood takes from Hollywood?

There's a book or something that says there's only 7 stories in the world. =P

reply

You have got to be kidding me. You're just trying to piss me off.

Obviously, your taste in movies sucks freddy. I don't care if you indian or not, or if you actually saw all top 100 films on IMDB (BTW, its top 250, and yeah..right) but if you think this movie was better than Spiderman 2 or Batman Begins, you have got to be kidding yourself.

You say you watch superhero movies to inspire you. Okay, first, lets put aside the problem you have in thinking this movie "inspires" you, are you telling me the first two spiderman movies (haven't seen the third one yet) weren't inspiring?

The acting was great? Trying phoney and campy x100. I'm not saying Roshan and the rest are bad actors (not at all - there actually really good), but they blew it in this one.

If you really not Indian, then let me tell you some fact about this movie you might not have known. This movie is a sequel to a movie called Koi Mil Gaya. That movie was actually good, until the ending, which completely ruined it. Nevertheless, that movie was a remake of ET. So bascially what I'm saying is, you basically have ET spawing a sequel Spiderman. Am I the only sane person here who thinks thats stupid.

COME ON!!!

Stop calling this crap good and start calling for some good indian movies for a change. For every good one, there like a 100 others. This stuff is getting to be too embarrasing. Its up there along with this crap:

As far as you televison gurl, I have to agree with you. There definetly is crap in hollywood. However, its biggest crap is still better than Krrish. And for the record, when a hollywood studio makes a remake of a movie, they actually get permission or pay copyright fees in order to produce it. Bollywood films just STEAL IT. Refer to my "nagastram" example before.

reply

yo first of all, ET was a copy. It was a replica of Satyajit Ray's novel called The Alien where a kid helps a stranded alien go back home. So much for your original Hollywood. Some morons compare Krrish with paycheck but isn't paycheck a copy of "The Bourne Identity" n "The Minority Report"? Spider man is a copy of Superman. What makes it so different than Superman? A superhero...nerdy looks...works for a newspaper company...a crazy Villon...superhero saves the world from the evil ideas of that Villon. Sounds a lot like Ramayan. K...superman, spider man..all these movies suck big time cauze they're not original. Superman is copied from Hanuman...and Spiderman is a copy of superman other than that the guy doesn't fly. If all of the above is true then yeh, sure even Krrish is a copy.

reply

Can you hear yourself talking? if you could you will realize how silly and stupid it sounds. I have heard this ET *beep* millions of times. No one knows what really happened so shut the hell up. People like you are so frustrated and embarrassed by copy cat Bollywood that you try to justify things, by bringing ET story every time someone accuses Bollywood for copying.

Inspite of that, Hollywood is 100 times more original then Bollywood can ever be. And who the *beep* told you that Paycheck copied Bourne Identity? or Minority Report? did you slip out of the hands of doctor and hit your head on floor when you were born?

Paycheck has nothing to do with those two movies. Spiderman is copy of Superman? ahahah.. dude why you keep embarrassing yourself? And once again Superman is not copied from Hanuman you moron. My God you are the most dumb person ever on IMDB.

reply

Paycheck was not a copy of bourne identity and minority report, Paycheck is based on a book called Paycheck and Minority Report is based on a book called Minority Report believe it or not, both written by the same person. So before you go lecturing people on the internet get your facts straight or you will continue to look like an idiot as you have here.

reply

SO television gurl is saying that its ok to steal? hmm interesting.

reply

Don't Forget, the total rip off from the movie TWINS with Arnold Swarneger....(sorry can't spell his name :)!) The scene when he is at the airport waiting on Priya and the two people on the motorcycle try to steal his luggage. I mean that was serious play by play on another movie. I'm surprised Bollywood doesn't get sued for this stuff!

reply

[deleted]

If you believe that i suggest you take a look at "The Miracle Worker". The first half of "Black is a scene for scene rip off of it.

reply

You said that Hrithik has copied the stunts in KRRISH frm hollywood films.
I think he has bettered those stunts.

reply

stunts in KRRISH? they are downright embarrasing! its a hopeless movie. just imagine if it had got nominated for any internation film award ... i wud be ashamed ... and to think hrithik has won a best actor award for krish in the presence of movies like RDB, Munnabhai, Fanaa, Being Cyrus etc. *beep*

reply

Well, you people need to think about it, it didn't do so well overseas as it did in India. Krrish is a movie that's come a long way in Bollywood.

yaps you probably don't like stunts and like Karan Johar movies. Good Luck!!

Welcome to Bollywood. We shamelessly rip off every english movie possible and then feel proud of it. We even blame Hollywood for repeating same genres while we don't even have enough creativity to repeat our own films differently. We are the best when it comes to copying and stealing other peoples original work and if someone tries to bring it up we say shamelessly "yada..yada..bla..bla.. we already know it". See how shameless and proud we are. We don't even feel embarssed to accept the fact that we are the biggest hacks in entire world's film industry. Welcome.

Shut off your brain and drop your IQ level to -1 and enjoy our movies.

reply

Welcome to America where some of the Indians would use every bloody tactic to fit into the society even if that means to criticize everything Indian. We lack an identity since we hate being who we really are and love being who we cannot be. In doing so we even forget that Hollywood is ripping off movies too! But it's just that we don't see it and even when we do, we don't like to admit it. Whoever opened this thread needs to realize that Superman is copied from Hanuman. Straight up!! Lets find an identity for ourselves before pointing our faults in others.

reply

for hemantkhan, I didn't realize Hanuman was from a different planet and had X-Ray vision.
--
Nevertheless, the problem with Bollywood is plain and simple. They think Indian people are stupid. And in a way they are right. Isn't half of our country illiterate?

Because of that, we don't generally find the avant garde independant films we do in europe, the far east, and U.S. The independent and film movements in those countries helped influence the mainstream movies of today.

Where is the "Le Weekend" or "Do the Right Thing" in Indian film?

In addition, you also have to look at the way Indian people are taught in schools. There really isn't any emphasis placed on creativity. Kids start school at the age of 3, go to school 6 days a week, and just memorize their books as opposed to understanding material. This might help make good scientists and doctors, but not good filmmakers and writers. You have your exceptions here and there, but not enough to make a difference.

reply

yeh. But Hanuman could fly and was super strong!! Isn't this how these morons are relating Krrish to other Hollywood superheroes? Indian people are stupid but only the wannabes. Go to the Hollywood forums. Even Americans themselves are saying that Hollywood is running out of ideas. You have absolutely no right to talk about Hollywood. You think you're an American? Hell no!! You're no more than a Kal Penn who got only 1 dialogue in a 3 hour movie. Don't try to make yourself an absolute American and someone who represents Hollywood. Face the fact, you're not and you can't be. Leave all these tactics to fit in American society and do something useful. India has its age of writers but now the country needs a lot of engineers and doctors cauze we're progressing. The close encounters and ET by Steven Spielberg are copied from Satyajit Ray's novels. I repeat the word copied. Hopefully you're listening. Chill man chill!!

reply

Welcome to Hemantkhan's shameless version of India where one has to feel proud about stealing other peoples hard work. And if you don't feel proud of being a thief then you are not patriotic enough. Can we get any more pathetic then this?

We are so spineless and pathetic that we don't even have guts to do something original. We are so full of ourselves that we accuse Hollywood for copying films while people like Hemantkhan doesn't even have basic IQ to understand the difference between remake and copying. Since you are not capable enough to understand the difference i would take the pleasure in educating you.

When Hollywood remakes a foreign film, firstly, it LEGALLY buys the copyright for that film. They also include the original screenplay writer in the remake for guidance. When film is completed the director mentions the name of original writer and the movie.

When Bollywood RIPS OFF and STEALS every other foreign film. It doesn't buy the copyright LEGALLY, doesn't mention name of original film and the writer and above all shamelessly claim that the film is original and ZARA ALAG HAI.

Now i am sure you still won't understand the difference because you don't have enough active cells in your brain left, after decades of abuse by HINDI philms!!

Also i love being an Indian but i am sorry i don't need a stamp of Indian HACK directors to approve my nationality. I would rather be proud of other good things then pathetic Bollywood copycats.

And after reading that Superman was copied from Hanuman i feel even more sorry for your abused brain cells. I would like to tell you that when Superman was originally made, he was supposed to be a villain and not a hero. So it has nothing to do with Hanuman.

reply

The only way to fit in another society is to criticize your own and everything related to it!! This is certainly a more pathetic sentence than the one you presented. Even Hollywood has copied many movies. And common, don't you think you can do better than this. You're crying for people who make millions so that they can make some thousand more dollars for the rights. There are millions of starving children in the world. how abt you raise you voice when it comes to showing your concerns. Knowing people like you, you guys will open a charity to donate money to Bill Gates but won't feed a hungry mouth. Yeh the way you felt after superman and Hanuman comparison, that is exactly how I felt after I read the title of this thread. At least you understand my pain now.

reply

Hemanthan you are the one who is ok with stealing other peoples hardwork and you are the one who is defending liers and cheats in Bollywood like a rabid dog. We are just proving you wrong. If there is anyone who needs to chill is, its you. And before you teach us to help millions who are starving..look inside you and tell me what have you done for your Indian society? except for bitching on IMDB? its easy to preach others.

reply

What a hypocrite.... if you're so concerned about stealing then why defend Hollywood? I told you guys that Superman is copied from Hanuman and that was like an earthquake to you guys, which moved you and everything you had at that time. So whoz a rabid dog here? umm.. And phuuff you're not even an American and phulezz don't try to be one. Ofcourse, you wish you were but wishes don't always come true. You can go and act as a cab driver or a loonie store operator in Hollywood cauze that is all you'll get. So like I said before, chill out!! And I already have started working on my plan to make others like better. Would you like to join? Lemme know. But it takes guts!! I enter the battlefield with fully loaded weapons unlike you people who bring a bag of popcorn. Decide now ....

reply

He hemanthkan, since you really think that Superman copied Hanuman (funniest *beep* i've ever heard btw), you should know that Hanuman copied Hercules..Right?

Bottom line is this,

THIS MOVIE SUCKED. I don't what or who it copied. Having a superhero who can fly or be strong doesn't mean copying. I think it was just funny that the female lead was a reporter, but nevertheless...IT SUCKED.

That the truth, IT SUCKED REALLY REALLY BAD.

It seems you have the mental complex many other people on this forum do. You guys are Indian who are desperately trying to prove that Bollywood is somehow better than Hollywood. For the record, I hated Superman I (the 70s one, although the Indian remakes of it make it seem godly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj8ApCdC3PM - this is hilarious) The whole spinning the earth backwards thing and its other campy *beep* ruined it for me. But do you honestly believe Krrish even compares to it, let alone newer films like Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, Superman Returns, etc....?

reply

lol!! I should've waited for you to gain some wisdom before replying. It is the funniest *beep* ever eh!! And so is the title of this thread!!! Hanuman is abt 1000 years older than hercules.

Bottom line is this,

This movie was good. People have different opinions. It made crores of rupees, the money people (including you and me) aspire to see in you entire life. Having martial arts doesn't mean that this movie is copied off Matrix, having superhero doesn't mean this movie is copied off Spiderman or Superman. In Superman and spiderman, male character has a nerdy look and works for a newspaper company...right?

The truth is that this movie ABSOLUTELY ROCKED!!! (if caps helps reinforce my opinion)

I have never thought that bollywood is better than hollywood. 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." The good thing abt Krrish is that it had got us started and taken us out of that family dramas, which are not bad but excess of it is. After krrish came out Don, Dhoom 2(which was not that great but technically it was pretty good). And ofcourse, we're going to get better with time. Just wait and watch us getting better with every step!!

reply

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. ;)

reply

Hemantkhan you are a stereotype moron who only views Indians as cab-drivers or loonie store operators. I think its time to get out of your basement. Watching too many Hindi movies? I don't need to tell you what i am doing with my life. I am born and brought up in America but i am more Indian then you can ever be. So stop being such a schmuck because you are just giving us more opportunities to make fun of you.

And only because Krrish made crores, its a good movie? Mc Donald makes crores too selling fats to people all around the world, it doesn't means that its good for health. So stop defending your pathetic Bollywood which is nothing but a copycat. Or you can continue your retarded arguments.

reply

if very one looked at every bit from every film im sure you would be able to see amny similaties in any movie. you cant say bit was taken form each movie to make one movie that sounds stupid.

reply

I enjoyed this movie, the part where krrish is told his history by his grandmother was especialy hillarious. 1 hour into the film, wam bam your superpowers originated from aliens and your father built a time machine-like device. Still brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. I guess it's all about how you level with what you are watching, i was prepared for a bit of sillyness, and i got alot ;)

reply

To let you guy know abt me:

I have watched all the top 100 movies in IMDB, and believe me, my standard for movies is not that bad.
I'm not indian
I don't like Indian movies (so much dancing and singing)
I love super hero movies

The bad things abt this movie "Krrish":

Copy so many ideals from Holywood
Special effect is still on average level
The script is straight forward (no twist)
....

HOWEVER: I prefer this movie to most of the new super hero movies that have just come out from Holywood lately (Batman begins, fantastic four,Superman returns, spider man 2..). All of those movies have great special effects, great action scences, but i don't watch super hero just to see those things, i watch super hero movies to inspire me to be one. (as long as you fight for good causes, you are a hero)

WHY?

The acting is great
The main acttress is SO BEAUTIFUL (gosh)
The story is SIMPLE but TOUCHING (Boy and girl, mother and son, husband and wife..)
...
