There is much to enjoy in this unapologetic attempt to create a unique Indian superhero flick. Go to Full Review
David Chute Variety Apr 15, 2015
The silly, square and charming Bollywood superhero picture Krrish 3 measures up pretty well, provided you bear in mind that it's more of a kids' movie than its U.S. counterparts. Go to Full Review

2/5
Superheroes have been around in Hindi cinema for decades, but huge technology jumps have made Krrish 3 the slickest of them all, special effects-wise. The rest of it is marred by tackiness. Go to Full Review

With all its blemishes, Krrish 3 still has a lot to offer: a loveable, beautiful-looking superhero, an intriguing female antagonist, hugely entertaining action sequences, the promise of a Krrish 4 ... Go to Full Review
Sujay Kumar The Daily Beast Oct 20, 2017
To be clear, it's not an altogether awful movie. The film bounces happily within the safe, sometimes stupid confines of generic Bollywood tropes. Go to Full Review

Krrish 3 could have been salvaged if the story had been a little less convoluted, but there are too many unnecessary complications and sub-plots. Go to Full Review

Poe W Mar 31, 2019 one of the Finest Attempt for Superhero Movie in INDIA. VFX are Good. This is INDIAS first succesful Superhero Franchise. i Wish there will be More Superhero Movies coming. See more
Kylo R Nov 16, 2017 The name "Krish 3" says you what you're in for when you pay for a ticket to this gigantic most 'ambitious' Indian superhero mega-budget project. It's neither The Superman nor Spiderman; it's a swindle of films such as X-Men, Babylon A.D. Spider-man, The Avengers and The Incredibles and Megamind. Directed and overseen by producer-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, the movie failed to delivers on the promise of its name which contains some utterly ridiculous and pointless scenes. This is the third film as franchise in filmmaker Rakesh Roshan's ambitiously-scaled, action-packed and starring (wonder, wonder!) Hritik Roshan. As usual, this based on the strength of Hrithik Roshan-his energy, dynamism and a visible sincerity to save the human race against a powerful militia controlled by a wheelchair-bound (copy from "Babylon A.D.") mastermind Vivek Oberoi. The form-shifting Kangana Ranaut's character in the film is called Kaya, in fact she is the lead actress, is far sharper and more impactful. Needless to say Priyanka Chopra, Hritik's lady love, is lumbered with a vaguely written role in this film. The first thing to notice about the "Krish 3" soundtrack is that it is lengthy. Background music was loud and Songs pop in with the least expectation with the situation and it becomes highly awkward for the viewer. I will say the best bit in "Krish 3" is the Good effort on special effects - though clearly the concepts are borrowed from western movies and fails to impress. Nobody will say that the special effects were bad; I will say it was jaw dropping but what about everything else. It's another good example followed by "Ra-One", "Love story 2050" that just pouring in money and showing special effects doesn't help a film become good. This movie fails to create suspense on emerge victorious because the result is predictable and pointless but positive thing, its not that boring. Extremely, this film is for the die-hard fan of Hritik who hardly gives ANY importance to story OR screenplay. Roshan's family has thrown in all thinking of targeting all audience segments, and has therefore been unable to please maximum, at-least me. But For teenagers, it is definitely a delight. Once you accept it will be easier for you digest.OK! From where do I begin.... Krrish 3 was a torture! he songs were desperate attempts to create music out of the themes of its prequel. The story line was completely predictable! I mean; Who would've expected a mutant to destroy the mutant race! Acting was good but was never backed with a good script. Some of the scenes seemed to be completely bogus! Perhaps; this looked more like an Indian version of the X-Men series! Vivek Oberoi tried being Magneto but he was a complete disaster! The only plus point I found was the technique that was used in making the movie. Apart from that; everything fell way beyond expectations.I am a big admirer of all these projects like Krrish, Ra- one etc. so I watched this movie without waiting for reviews, I kept low expectations and yet its utterly disappointing. I understand that such projects require a big budget, but the movie has so many flaws that this 'budget' excuse does not justify it anymore. At least one area where Bollywood is good at, 'Music', could be original, but no! From the initial credits where they play the spider-man theme music till the end music 'book of Eli' theme, the whole movie has bits & pieces of some Hollywood movie. Another confusing fact about this superhero Krrish is that his powers are not defined. Every Hollywood superhero is known for his well defined power, they have strengths & weaknesses. But nobody knows what Krrish is capable of, in some occasions he can't outrun a slow moving car and at some other times he is faster than light; sometimes he has to put all his power to move a truck and sometimes he would move mountains (a metaphor not literally); the superhero in Krrish(2006) who had powers like captain America, has turned into a superman in Krrish-3, now what's next? total BS. Please, define this superhero's powers properly. And please Mr. Rakesh Roshan, don't make our superhero cry like a toddler all the time. Talking about Kaal, I kinda like the villain in this movie and Vivek Oberoy deserves an applause for his acting and dialogue delivery. Whenever the dialogues were lame, well its not Vivek's fault. Mr Rakesh Roshan had so many powerful mutants in this movie, he could have used each one to give at least one small round of fight, but most of them were just wasted. Once again, zero innovation and zero originality cannot be justified by the low budget excuse. I did not put reviews earlier because I want this movie to make money and I want Mr. Roshan to make Krrish-4. And i'll watch Krrish-4, again without waiting for reviews, but if I see the movie & music is again borrowed by Hollywood, I will immediately put my reviews highlighting all the cons to make sure our people know what they are going to see, once Mr. Roshan work on these areas, the movie will appeal to another big segment of viewers who watch Hollywood movies regularly. Just show some originality and make your movie attract the intellectual viewers. See more
Albus L Jun 26, 2017 Bollywood has delivered yet another ripoff of great Hollywood superhero films like X-Men or Iron Man, and it is one of the worst rip offs I've ever seen. Luckily, Krrish 3 is so awful in every way, that one can actually laugh at how bad it is. The film is very poorly acted, with the only respectable performance coming from Hrithik Roshan. Every other actor seems very melodramatic and artificial. From a special effects standpoint, the movie also fails with green screen and CGI which look like a film from the 90's. Bollywood can unfortunately have bad songs in a few of their movies, and Krrish 3's songs are unbearable to listen to and to watch. There are many other flaws with the film, but in a nutshell, this is one of the worst Bollywood movies I've seen. The first Krrish is a better movie by far. See more
Abraham W May 2, 2017 This film is a patch work of plots, characters, and action sequences from just about every super hero film ever made. But it was fun to watch. And...how many Marvel movies have elaborate dance scenes where every one magically changes clothes every fifteen seconds. I want that to be my super power. Spill something on your shirt at lunch? No worries because bingo new designer blouse. My other super power would be never going over126 pounds so I could fit those clothes.and ...is the a Krrish 2? Why is this three? See more
Han R Oct 31, 2013 This sequel was completely unnecessary. I still think the first movie is great and the second is a fun enough ride. This movie just feels very out of place. It is full of cheesy moments and the special effects are very bad. I think maybe if I was younger and not as exposed to so many great superhero movies, I probably would have liked it more. I think despite all of its flaws, the movie has some fun moments. However, it ultimately fails due to the frequent silliness of the movie. See more
