Ok, to start off, I'll post a review of Krrish i had written to some of my friends by mail. I am sure this is bound to be offensive to those Hrithik Roshan fans out there. But then, just chill out and enjoy the review!

everyone seems to be talking about Krrish and how it is india's
answer to the superhero genre of movies created by hollywood. i caught the movie, albeit on the comp and a bootlegged version, but u see, this movie isn't exactly 'memento'; it is clearly designed for the simple country folk of india....the story of a simple, brilliant, strong, swift, agile, creative and extremely plastic and highly emotive moron.
the story of course starts off with krrish growing up with his granny-a rekha who right from the first frame makes it abundantly clear that she is not going to let go the few moments she has on
screen. for instance, the first scene shows her confronting the school teacher(apparently this is the same 'father' who taught the father too. for notational convenience, i shall henceforth refer to the father as the retard). the school teacher is convinced that krishna(that is krrish's 'full and actual name' ) is a genius of the highest order-after all, he is seen helping class 3 students when he is just a class 1 student (not to mention his carrying big chunks of wood with consumate ease. but that was more of a casting coup-the chunky kid playing the young krrish probably was the reason the movie was shot in cinemascope, but i digress) but granny shall none of this-u see she doesn't want to 'lose' the grandson, the way she 'lost' her son.
the story of the father goes that after jadoo, the blue rubber balloon, 'transmits' magical powers to the retard, he apparently becomes some kind of smartie and is called on by naseeruddin shah, a mad scientist(they are all mad, arent' they?!) in singapore to-this is very exciting and original- BUILD A COMPUTER THAT CAN SEE THE FUTURE!
as expected, the retard finishes the job in 2 yrs and then mysteriously dies. it is worth mentioning that the kid is born when the dad is in singapore. so, as u can see, right from his birth, there are question marks all over the hero - he is indeed, a medical marvel.
so the beefcake(krrish) spends his early life protected by granny by living in the countryside, entertaining himself by jumping over trees, horses, on mountains, across rivers, racing alongside horses, climbing trees-in short, by destroying the countryside and startling all the animals there in their natural abode.
then, priyanka chopra, whom we shall refer to as the bimbo comes over for a vacation and after falling in 'lou' with the lovable dunghead here, convinced that the beefcake has extraordinary powers, arranges for his visit to singapore.
and here, he 'accidentally' becomes Krrish. some circus place catches fire or whatever and this guy grabs a mask lying there, dons it on, very cleverly and creatively changes his name
entirely from krishna to krrish(note the brilliance of the second r-that is the touch of rakesh roshan) and then goes about saving singaporean chinese and indians, thus becoming some kind of mascot in singapore.
somehow the bimbo gets to know of his true identity but due to some misunderstanding-the type only a beefcake can make, and our hero is an emotive one too, don't forget that-he realises that while he was in 'true love' with her, she was just 'using him' to make news. which is not true of course, since the bimbo also is in 'lou' with him. and that is soon clarified, when his past is revealed to him.
what past?
ah, here comes the actual truth-the retard after making his computer(which bears a strong resemblance to the gizmo we see in Minority Report) sees naseer killing him in the future, and so in order to get back at him, destroys the computer-i mean physically goes after it with a baseball bat. i mean(let me just stress upon this because this seemed to be very important, lest you not get the details), the retard actually picks up some kind of stick, and then steadily gives his all by thrashing every chip or whatever there is in that contraption, to dust.
obviously naseer is incensed now and wants to skin the retard alive, but his secretary reminds him that the retard is necessary to rebuild the computer. no!I'm sure you misunderstand!!
apparently the retard made extensive notes or some such crap and the computer can be rebuilt by others from them, but what one needs to start it, is a retinal scan of the retard's eyes(and the 'thump' of his hearbeat-that is the 'password')!!
i mean, here i was in awe of the retard. the computer was actually smashed to pulp and has been re-united with nature and all that, but its 'password' was still alive - in 'cyberspace' !!
and so the retard is still alive.
and when the beefcake gets to know of this, he comes to save his dad and then marry the bimbo. thats the story in a 'nut'shell.
a quick word on the visual effects - they are quite tacky. everytime HR tries to 'sail' through the air, he looks more like he is battling for his life for he doesn't seem to trust the support strings holding him.

i think i have covered some of the salient features of the movie. you must understand that it is impossible to transcribe the entire contents or all my evoked feelings in just a few words here. to get your own ideas, grab a seat and watch the movie!!
