KRRISH-3: THE WORST INDIAN MOVIE IS ONE, LONG ADVERTISEMENT

Krrish, krrish... oh, what a pain. Do not show your face again....

Rakesh Roshan has often been referred to as an "astute film-maker" who is as good with the logistics of film-making as he is with the directing of emotional dramas. That explains the 'Krissh' movies, which are targeted specifically at the 'Kids Section' of the crowd and as collateral damage, end up involving their parents as well. His mantra has been- Aim for the kids. Let them rope in the parents. Atleast three birds with one stone. Whatta life... 

That also explains to me why he hasn't looked beyond the 'Krrish' franchise for over ten years now. Why venture into the world of Creativity, when all you have to do is change the female lead every three years and re-shoot the same movie all over, feed some soppy struggle-story in the pre-release press interviews, and reap in multi-million profits?

You might say- "Yeah, well... man's got to do what he's got to do. He has to put food on the table, a family to feed and needs a meal-ticket just like the rest of us." 

Now looking upon the thing from this point of view, it appears to be quite a harmless little exercise, where a businessman masquerading as a film-maker is milking his product for all he can, while the audience is still lapping it up. No harm done. Agreed.

Now, a businessman like him would also know that:-
A single ticket at a multiplex- Rs. 400/-
Popcorn- Rs 200/-
Coke- Rs 150/- 
Three hours of your precious life- Priceless...

And God bless you if you have got a girlfriend/spouse/set of children to cater to. Girls have it easy due to the "Guy pays on a date" quota.

And it is on this front itself, that the makers of 'Krrish-3' owe me an long, sincere apology. For starters, they may reimburse me my ticket, popcorn and coke (a big one) expenses but having said that- there is no excuse for ruining 2 hours and 30 minutes of my life. There's no excuse, either, for marketing a film as an "action movie", and then sending up didactic "moral science" lessons for everyone to suck up to. Somebody tell Rakesh Roshan that we have outgrown Shaktiman.

Maybe it's only me, but the only action I saw was Hritik Roshan, under the pretext of playing Krrish, having a ball kissing two damn hot chicks.

And what was Vivek Oberoi thinking, getting dressed up in a costume that seems to have been sneaked away from the "Boom Boom Robo Da" song sequence? And just when will Krrish dump that piece of garbage stuck to his face?

I sometimes think the character 'Rohit' in the Krrish movies is actually a template for Rakesh Roshan- a lonely somebody who can't communicate with fellow humans, hence ends up creating a product that can only be catered to aliens.
