It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!
Oh wait, it’s a rip off of films such as X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, The Avengers and (embarrassingly enough) even The Incredibles and Megamind.
Rakesh Roshan's Krrish 3, starring (surprise, surprise!) Hritik Roshan is the third instalment of the Koi...Mil Gaya series - of which Krrish 2 is still missing. In this film, we see Krrish (Hritik Roshan) pitted against a powerful army of mutants, controlled by the mastermind Kaal (Vivek Oberoi), who want to destroy the human race.
The suspense haunts the audience: who will emerge victorious?

While Superhero v/s Supervillain isn't exactly the most original theme out there, it has been used as framework to build on newer, more interesting layers in other films. Hence it was a shock that a mega-budget project like Krrish 3 couldn't manage to do the same.
Hritik Roshan, who is usually amazing and was particularly spectacular in films like Lakshya, Guzaarish and Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara seemed energetic - maybe a little too energetic - and ended up being a tad over the top. So filled with emotion was Roshan that he kept shivering every time things got a bit serious. However, he did a good job of doing a double role. Even though he played his own father, Dr. Rohit Mehra, without much alteration to his appearance, it did not seem like both characters were being portrayed by the same actor at all.
Kangana Ranaut has gotten significantly better from her darker days, which means that she is almost bearable now.
Almost.
While Ranaut could really use some more work on dialogue delivery and diction, she has perhaps delivered the best performance in this film (and that says a lot).
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra, who kept insisting that she's the heroine of the film, only seemed to exist to be in trouble and cry out for help, and to act as a vessel for reproduction and furthering of the franchise.
Vivek Oberoi should perhaps stick to Bollywood's gangster films because that's where the anger, the cheesy dialogues and the ruthlessness look good. Despite the fact that his acting prowess is only second to Kangana Ranaut's in this film (yes, I'm serious) we've seen Oberoi do a lot better.
The performances could have been a lot better, considering the potential
