What happens
Krrish (Hindi pronunciation: [krɪʃ]) is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language superhero action thriller film directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. The film stars Hrithik Roshan in the main dual lead role, alongside Priyanka Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, Sharat Saxena and Manini Mishra. It is the second instalment in the Krrish franchise and a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya. In the film, Krishna Mehra, who has superhuman abilities like his father Rohit Mehra, falls in love with Priya and follows her to Singapore, where he takes on the superhero persona of Krrish and sets out to thwart the plans of the evil scientist Dr. Siddhant Arya, who is creating a supercomputer which shows the future. Krrish was conceived to be a film of global significance and a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with VFX on par with those from Hollywood. To that end, the effects team was aided by Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma and the action scenes were choreographed by Tony Ching. The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan, while the background score was composed by Salim–Sulaiman. Filming was done to a large extent in Singapore as well as India. Krrish was released on 23 June 2006 at a budget of ₹40 crore and, on over 1000 prints both near-record amounts for an Indian film at the time. The film received positive reviews from critics and received a record opening week at the box office. A blockbuster, Krrish grossed a worldwide total of ₹126 crore, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2006, behind Dhoom 2. The film received 8 nominations at the 52nd Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Rakesh), Best Actor (Hrithik) and Best Supporting Actress (Rekha) and won 3 awards, including Best Special Effects. At the 8th IIFA Awards, the film received 9 nominations, and won 3 awards, including Best Actor (Hrithik). It also won the National Film Award for Best Special Effects. Krrish marked a significant turning point in Indian cinema, as it helped pioneer the mainstream superhero genre in Indian cinema and set a new benchmark for visual effects in Indian films. It has become the highest grossing Indian superhero film at the time of its release. It was one of the first Indian productions to integrate large-scale CGI and wire-work stunts comparable to international standards. The film was envisioned to be a genre-defining spectacle that could appeal to both Indian and global audiences, blending science fiction, romance, action, and mythology. The third film in the series, Krrish 3 was released in 2013 whereas, the fourth installment is expected to begin shooting in early 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
