As cliched as it can get

I was surprised after watching the trailer of "Krish" while I went to see Rang de Basanti. It was really as they say "no less than a hollywood movie". There were no indications of a routine Rakesh Roshan movie in that trailer and I immediatly made a decision to watch this movie on the very first day of its release and I kept my promise.

"Krish" religiously follows all the cliches of bollywood: a caring and possesive grandmother, an irritating and slapstick comedian, a evil villian, misunderstandings, kidnaps, hero and his girl dancing at the sky scrapers at foreign locales for no apparent reason, a hard working good friend of our hero whose mission is to earn money for his sister's operation who finally dies in the hands of the evil villian so that he can generate sympathy and a chance for our hero to resuce his sister and so..on... the list is endless. Every single moment and every single dialogue of the movie was downright predicatable and the only interesting special-effects were marred by the loud music of Rajesh Roshan.

I am fine with the regular bollywood cliches as long as they work. Rakesh Roshan followed almost all the above cliches in KNPH but somehow he managed to tell the story in a coherent way. "Krish" not only lacks coherence but it takes its audience for granted and tells the story in the same old fashion that we have been used to for the past god knows how many years and wants us to think that we are watching it for the first time.

One of the hilarious scenes in the movie (which was not meant to be hilarous):
Priyanka passes out after seeing Hrithik who she thinks is a ghost and wakes up in the midst of her all her friends who are gaping at her and lets out one of the most predicatable cliched dialogues "Main kaha hoon....."

What was more painful and yet funny than the movie was the review from Taran Adarsh:

Please do not read the review until you watch the movie beacause you wouldn't know how funny that review really is.
