What helps this section of the film is the lead actor Hrithik Roshan who plays Rohit as a very likable character. Cut to several years later and we find out that the son has a brain injury that makes him developmentally disabled and cut to several more years later where he is basically a fully grown man, or technically a young adult, with the mind of somewhere around an 11 year old and struggling in a standard school where he doesn’t quite fit in with the physically younger kids.
Not only that, but the film goes a step further by having the aliens visit him and cause a car accident that kills him and injures his wife and their unborn son. While this film starts out with the stereotypical down and out scientist who makes a huge discovery about life on other planets but is ignored by the credible scientists. But even with that in mind, this was still a generally enjoyable film that fell into a few cliched traps along the way. I wasn’t entirely expecting the whole Flowers for Algernon subplot that took up the entire first third of an almost three hour movie. I’m not entirely well versed in Bollywood films, but I have seen a couple so I knew roughly what to expect: long run times and random musical interludes. So I thought this would be the perfect time to finally watch and review this Krrish trilogy. The theme this week happens to be foreign sci-fi & horror films with a bonus if you watch an entire trilogy. But over at Cinefessions they are holding an annual Summer Screams Challenge that I decided to join in this year, and as part of that challenge there are weekly themes. This was one of the first foreign titles that I had heard of to add to my big superhero movie list as it is the first movie in the Bollywood Krrish trilogy where Krrish and Krrish 3 are both clearly superhero movies, but even early on I had heard that this had very little to do with superheroes at all.
