Mil Gaya(2003).[5][6]They announced that actorsHrithik RoshanandRekhawould return for the sequel, but thatPreity Zintawould be replaced byPriyanka Chopra.[6]Chopra also confirmed the same, adding, "The story will start whereKoi... Mil Gayaended. "[6]Before Chopra,Amrita Raowas cast as the female lead, and she and Hrithik starred in a photoshoot. However, the results of the photoshoot left Rakesh Roshan dissatisfied, and thus Rao was removed from the project.[7]Rakesh Roshanhoped that the film would be remembered as the first to prove that the Indian film industry is equal to Hollywood.[8]He decided to push the story forward by focusing on the son of the previous films's protagonist, who would inherit his father's special abilities.[5]The story combined elements of Indian mythology (the main character's name Krishna alludes to the Hindu LordKrishna),[9]Chinese martial arts and Hollywood films to set itself up as a film of global significance.[10]

Pre-production

[edit]

Rakesh Roshan wantedKrrishto be a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with visual effects on par withHollywood films.[11]He hired Hollywood special effects experts Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma, who had both previously worked on such films asIndependence Day,GodzillaandSky Captain,to help create the visual effects for the film.[12][13][14]Roshan also hired Hong Kong action directorTony Chingafter admiring his work inHero.Before production began, Hrithik Roshan went to China to train with Ching for the cable work that would be needed to make his character "fly".[15]A story board of the film was prepared and sent to Ching to help him develop the action sequences.[16]Additional production credits include:Farah Khan– choreographer,Samir Chandaand Sham Kaushal – art directors, Baylon Fonesca and Nakul Kamte – sound, Nahush Pise – makeup artist, Sham Kaushal – assistant action director.[17]

Filming

[edit]

Krrishwas the first Indian film to be shot inSingaporeunder the Singapore Tourism Board's Film-in-Singapore subsidy scheme, and over 60% of the film was shot there.[18]Shooting was accomplished on location over a span of 2 months, from September to November 2005.[19]Locations featured included theSingapore Zoo,theGateway building,and theSingapore National Library.[20]Another major filming location wasRobinson Road,where heavy rains caused production delays.[21]The Singapore police were on location to block roads and protect the filming equipment,[21]such as when the film's action scenes required two 250-foot high industrial cranes.[16]Author Audrey Yue noted that the film shoot benefited Singapore by leading to domestic and Indianfilm-induced tourism.[18]

Filming also took place inManaliandFilm CityinMumbai.[22]During filming of a flying stunt, one of the wires that was tied to Hrithik Roshan broke, causing him to fall 50 feet, though he landed safely on a shop's canopy.[23]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 bejadoo(magic). "[23]Roshan also suffered other injuries during the film's production. He tore the hamstring in his right leg during a circus scene, singed his hair while running through fire in another action scene, and broke his thumb and toe during strenuous training for the wirework.[24]

Post-production

[edit]

Indian firmPrasad EFXassigned a team of more than 100 VFX specialists to work with Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma to create the visual effects for the film.[12][13][14]Included were sophisticated3D modellingandcomputer animation,including whole body scans, 3D replicas of vehicles, fire sequences, complicated wire removals andcompositingwork.[12]They prepared over 1,200 VFX shots, accounting for approximately 90 minutes of screen time.[11][25]Describing the effects, Rakesh Roshan stated, "If you liked the visual effects inKoi... Mil Gaya,you will find them far better inKrrish.I do not think audiences have seen anything like this in Hindi films. "[26][27]

On thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,88% of 8 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7/10.[51]

India

[edit]

Krrishreceived positive reviews from critics in India.[52]Taran AdarshofBollywood Hungamabelieved that the film surpassed expectations, but felt that there were issues with pacing in first hour. Overall, he deemedKrrishto be "a terrifically exciting and compelling experience", and awarded the film 4.5 of 5 stars.[53]Nikhat Kazmi noted inThe Times of Indiathat while the superhero and action sequences were appealing, there were not enough of them. He was also not excited by the romantic parts, comparing them to a sightseeing tour, first in India and then in Singapore. He said that overall, this film lacks the fun of its predecessor.[54]On the other hand, Raja Sen said thatKrrishwas infinitely better thanKMG,though ultimately it was all about Hrithik Roshan. Sen and Sukanya Verma, writing forRediff,both gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, and both said that it was a good film for children. Sen summarised, "So, is it a good superhero movie? No, but it's well-intentioned. It's a full-on kiddie movie, and while a lot of us might be scornful ofKrrish,it's heartening to see fantasy officially entering mainstream Bollywood. "[55]Verma agreed with other critics that it took too long for the action to get started, and said that a lot of attention was spent showing off Roshan's muscles. He summarised, "Krrishneither has the sleek aura nor the deep-rooted ideology of superheroes. What it does have is a super spirited performance from Hrithik Roshan, which is likely to appeal to children. And that's worth a three-star cheer. "[56]Saibal Chatterjee wrote in theHindustan TimesthatKrrishis a hackneyed, formulaic masala film, with special effects added on top, and hoped that this would not be the future of Bollywood.[57]Rajeev Masand ofCNN-IBNcondemned the screenplay and thought that the only thing that made the film watchable was the acting of Hrithik Roshan. He gave the film only 2 out of 5 stars, saying "Krrishis only an average film that could have been so much better if the makers had concentrated as hard on its story as they did on its action and stunts. "[58]

Overseas

[edit]

Overseas reviews were positive.[59]Richard James Havis ofThe Hollywood Reporterstated, "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".[59]David Chute ofLA Weeklydeemed it a "hearty pulp cinema that really sticks to your ribs".[60]Likewise, Laura Kern ofThe New York Timessaid it was a blend of carefree romance, show-stopping action and sci-fi.[61]Ronnie Scheib ofVarietysaid that it was an "enjoyable, daffily improbable escapist romp". He praised the action sequences as ingeniously choreographed, but very family-friendly.[62]Though Jaspreet Pandohar ofBBCwas critical of the script for being "low on originality", he praised Hrithik Roshan's performance and the action scenes.[63]Dr. P.V. Vaidyanathan, in a review forBBC Shropshire,said that the film's excellent special effects were as good as the best from Hollywood, praised Hrithik's acting, but called the music mundane.[64]
