Krrish 3 was awesome. It had all the ingredients of a super
hero movie. Great special effects, good story line, lovely stunts! I just loved
the movie. Hrithik has done a superb job! He plays the two characters of father
and super hero to the best. One truly feels they are two different actors doing
two different roles! Ah! And Vivek Oberoi as the evil Kaal was really evil! If
you like masala movies and want to see how technology has made its way into
bollywood movie you must watch it. Krrish 3 is what a super hero movie should
be like- super natural powers, extra-ordinary happenings, the age-old good vs
evil and at the same time human
emotions, feelings and science. Special
effects were mind blowing but the fight scenes between Kkrish and the evil Kaal
could have been edited a bit though.
What I loved about the movie besides the neat and clean
story line and special effects and of course Hrithik Roshan is the wonderful
blend of science, fiction and the spiritual. The movie ends with a note on how
everything is but energy and every thing be it matter or mass is made of
energy. The soul is nothing but energy which never dies but keeps moving from
one body to another. The entire Universe
is always in the process of emitting and transferring energy from one form to
another. So when Rohit Mehra the scientist father of Krrish sacrifices his life
to bring back his son back to life he assures Krrish that no one ever truly
dies, for energy can never die but only takes on another form and continues to
live in another body, another matter, another being. Rohit Mehra with the help
of the sun and his energy transforming scientific invention- a pen which beeps
when the sun’s rays are brought to concentrate on a focal point- filters and
transfers both his and the energy derived from the sunlight (which are but
one!) to his dying son and becomes a part of him!
However there was one thing that disappointed me or perhaps
I am expecting too much! In the end Kkrish (or in his more mortal form Krishna)
and his wife become proud parents of a baby boy and conclude with the assurance
that their father lives on in their child too. Now here is where Kkrish 3
having crossed the barrier of using super special effects, technology and great
fictional script could have really moved way way ahead of other Bollywood
movies. The baby born to Kkrish and his wife could have been a female child
rather than a male child. For if all we are but energy transformed from nature
to soul to matter then the energy need not always take a male form. The makers
could have really brought out the core essence of their theme of energy,
transformation, life and death and continuity by depicting the transfer of
energy into a new born female child. I personally feel that given the immense
creative potential of cinema in invoking/provoking the thought process of its
viewers, this, could have been a very innovative step towards breaking the age old barrier of Gender bias that still
dominates Bollywood movies. Perhaps the reason they did not do it is because we
are still in awe of our larger than life super female goddesses and not yet
ready for a more down to earth female super hero???!!!
But kudos to Kkrish 3 for bringing together a wonderful
blend of movie, entertainment, technology, science, fiction and spiritual into
one powerful package!
