Krrish! (Dont miss that extra r ! )

When you go for a movie with a neutral mind, you sure gonna like it.
When you go for a movie with absolutely no good hope (after having heard all those comments from your friends, and having read all those rediff/TOI reviews), you will enjoy the movie (of course, given the reviewer has a loose nut on his right hemisphere)

Krrish!
Ever since they announced the movie, I've wondered "Do we really need that extra r?"

And when I was thrown the same question, I had the right (?) answer..
Its based on vaastu (what my mind said was numerology. But there was some data xfer error, and a corrupt data was thrown out thru the mouth. Blame it on the n/w)

Went for the movie with N (having confirmed that OPT folks are DAMN NOT interested in the movie). Well, going for a movie with a gal (and only a gal) is a dream-come-true..
Another true-to-life dream that i had was to ride a bike, with a gal as pillion..
Well, we dream high, and when we get it full hands, we scream high !
(and that rhymed, dint it ? YES IT DID!)

Having booked the ticket, when the ticket status was "FEW" (thats very close to "SOLD OUT"), and seeing the seat number N-6 and N-7, I was sure, its gonna be a head-turner... As in, Watching a tennis match, sitting right beside the net
(I was wondering , when did i last watch a tennis match in this fashion...)
:-S
But then, it was some 3rd or 4th row, from the BACK! Yeah - from the back!
Then i realised, it was some ticket which got cancelled and landed up into my hands..


Even while getting seated, I told N "See, the movie is gonna be stupid and the only watchable things are the songs and the stunts". She nodded, yes I've read the reviews :(

When it comes to reviews, one striking statement that still remains somewhere in my cache is "Never before was a superhero projected in such an ugly fashion with the camera focusing on his nipples". If I had seen that reviewer at the door, right after the movie, that was going to be his end. As my friend says.. "Ppl see only those things , that they wish to see"
:D (no more comments on the reviewer)
;-)

In some other stupid review, I read "As they say, there is only one man who can save the earth. And its Krrish!". To some extent its true, but you will FIRMLY disagree, after watching the film.
Mr Krrish had no such intention, you see :-)

The film started in a school, and ends in a village.
In between, the camera rolls in Singapore for some songs and stunts, and also for the climax.

Also seen in between are Naseerudin Shah, Duryodhan (what was his name?), Rekha (she would be the same 'daadi' in Krrrrrrish - thats Krrish part3) , Preity Zinta, Sharat Saxena and Hrithik (??)

But it all goes well, except for some stupid Bollywood melodramas and flashbacks...
But as long as you have it at the back of your mind, that you r watching a hindi movie, its fine.
Well, during the ring-recovery fight scene, for a moment, you may wonder "Is this a Hindi movie, that i've got the ticket for ?"
Too good are the fights

And the camera work is magnificient..
It would have been tough for Santhosh Thundiyil to fly after Hrithik, between the trucks!
But whatever the Chinese (or is it Japanese) stunt master says, he has to do !!



Tail :
1. The banner of Yash Raj Films was shown in PVR during the titles. A blunder ?!
2. As always, names are masked to protect piracy, i mean.. privacy
3. For 100 bucks of petrol, my bike did a 111km - thats 62kmpl mileage! YIpppeee
4. ok.. agreed, point 3 has got nothing to do with this topic.. Over n Out

A bigger Tail (added lately..):
The ticket booking episode was not all simple and groovy as it sounded in the disco above. It was outright scary, and witty, all the same. So here is lil Rat, at the counter to do an advance booking for the evening show...
Rat: Krrish evening show - 2 tickets
Guy: 615
Rat: Sorry ??!!
Guy: Sir, Six Fifteeen
Rat: What ?!!!! :O
Guy: Sir, Six-One-Five
Rat: Ok (and jumped out of the queue)

Called up N, and asked - Are you sure, we have to go for the movie today ?
While i was talking over the phone, the overhead TV screen which has the movie listings showed : Krrish 10.45AM, 3PM, 6.15PM, 10PM
Bulb, tube, CFL all glows the same time.. Quickly hung up and got back into the queue.
Booked the tickets and paid the bucks and left the counter - not before giving a "friendly" stare to that stupid counterboy. When I said "gimme 2 tickets" , why the heck should he tell me the time of the show, when I expected him to tell the ticket fare :-S

In the end, who was stupid - me or the counterboy?
:-S
