Krrish: Bollywood's Superhero


The much awaited Desi Bollywood Superhero Krrish has arrived. There were discussion in media from last week about desi superheroes. Is Krrish the first Bollywood superhero ??. Whatever there were great expectations from this movie.

Overall movie fails to be a good package. Music is big letdown, songs are not even at average level. Bollywood movie without good songs is analogous to Hollywood movie without steamy scenes !!!.

However execution of last 30 minutes (climax) is good with stunning special effects. The interface of computer which predicts future is really cool. Bollywood has come to level of retina scan and touch screen keyboard !!!.

Performance of Hrithik is superlative. He has carried movie on his shoulders. Most important thing he really looks like a superhero. Naseerudin Shah, Rekha, Priyanka have done justice to their roles.

Coming to reviews of famous movie crtics, Tarun Adarsh’s 4½ star is too much. Rajeev Masand’s 2 star is too harsh. In my opinion Krrish is a good entertainer, potential blockbuster but definitely not a memorable movie.

Movie was paisa vasool for me since saw it in Urvashi spending Rs. 60 only. Its definitely not worth watching in multiplexes by spending Rs.150 :).

Nandi Hills Bike Trip

Last weekend I decided to go with my friends on a bike to Nandi Hills. Ande aka Naveen was the initiator and later Vijay(vijaynath) and my colleague Johnson with his friend came on board. Nandi Hills is Vijay's favorite weekend hangout, he usually goes there once in two weeks. Our starting point was 4th block Jayanagar, Johnson with his pillion partner joined us near Hebbal flyover. Then it was the time to cruise towards the destination on our four bikes Karizma, Cbz, Victor and Bullet-Electra. Coordination among us was a big headache since Vijay and Ande were slogging aggresively at 90+ kmph whereas myself and johnson were just going at conservative 60 kmph.
