Trivia:

To play the role of Krrish, Hrithik Roshan lifted weights and dieted for two months to add 15 pounds of muscle to his frame. Roshan is used to shaping his body for different roles: for Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), he lost weight to look more childlike, and for Lakshya (2004), he gained weight to play the spoiled and lazy youth.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: When Rohit Mehra is informed 20 years ago (c. 1986) by his mother about the birth of his son, he is using a handy mobile phone set, which was not available at that time.

Krrish and Bollywood Rock!

Krrish is the first movie from India that I've seen. I saw it on Youtube. I didn't have very high expectations, but after watching it, I was blown away.

Krrish is a film about India's first superhero. It starts with a young man named Krishna, who lives in rural India with his grandmother. Krishna has several unique abilities, including super-strength, super-speed, enhanced intelligence and levitation. One day, Krishna meets and falls in love with a young woman named Priya. After she goes home to Singapore, Krishna follows and hopes to ask Priya to marry him. In Singapore, he finds reasons to uses his powers to help mankind, including fighting a mad scientist named Dr. Arya. He becomes Krrish, the icon of millions of people.

Krrish is just an awesome movie. It has plenty of action, romance, humor and super-heroics. On top of all of that, I saw the movie as an up-close look at modern Indian culture. All in all, I thought this movie was great and Bollywood rocks.

If you love superhero movies you with love this movie.

The movie has since been removed from Youtube. I hope I can find it again.
