Trivia:

Hrithik Roshan received special training in Hong Kong for the special leap he makes in this film. Hrithik's super powers include super strength, speed, and the ability to jump superhuman distances. Like his father, objects that Krishna throws keep traveling through the air!

Goofs:

Plot holes: Rohit is in Malaysia for two years working on a secret project. At the end of the two years, his mother calls him up to say that his wife has given birth to a baby boy. Considering the fact that he was away from home for two years, where was his wife during this time?

Quotes:

[Priya starts to scream as Krishna sneaks into her tent]
Krishna: You're always screaming. Doesn't your throat hurt?
[Priya's eyes widen in shock]
Krishna: [smiling] Your eyes are widening again.
[Priya closes her eyes. When she opens them, Krishna is gone]

Krrish, the first Indian film I have seen on cinema

I saw Krrish in Stockholm yesterday. I am not keen on science fiction movies, even if I used to read science fiction when I was young. I have never before seen an Indian movie on cinema and perhaps because it was the first time, I liked Krrish very much. Indian films are longer than Hollywood/European films, but it didn't feel long at all. Must have been entertaining! It did not matter at all that the film makers had borrowed ideas from other films(Flying Daggers, ET, Dr.Who, whatever). The film was very Indian and didn't feel like a copy of anything. I loved the music and dances, the dance in the circus was wonderful!

The actor who played Krrish felt quite right for the role. I have seen him in KKKB, but didn't think much about him then, was too fascinated by Sharukh. This is my first film critic ever! Becoming addicted to Indian films make me do strange things!!
