Krrish (Hindi: कृष,Hindi pronunciation: ) is a 2006 Indian superhero science fiction film. The film was directed, produced, and written by Rakesh Roshan, while the screenplay was written by Robin Bhatt, Sachin Bhowmick, Honey Irani, Akarsh Khurana, and Sanjay Masoom. The film is a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya, and relates the story of Krishna (Hrithik Roshan), the son of the previous film's protagonists who inherits his father's superhuman abilities. After falling in love with Priya (Priyanka Chopra), he follows her to Singapore, where he takes on the persona of "Krrish" to keep his identity secret after saving children from a burning circus. From that moment on he is regarded as a superhero, and must later thwart the plans of the evil Dr. Siddhant (Naseeruddin Shah), who has built a machine capable of seeing the future. The film became the highest grossing film ever until Dhoom 2 released five months later (in the same year) and broke the record.
The film was mainly shot in Mumbai, India and Singapore. The film was considered the first major superhero film to be produced in Bollywood since Shekhar Kapur's Mr. India (1987). The film's stunts, choreographed by Tony Ching Siu-Tung, were adapted into storyboard before accepted into the film. Several scenes in the film were made using a lot of visual effects, created by Marc Kolbe and Craig A. Mumma. Half of the film's epic stories were adapted from "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata".
The film was cited as a new "trend setter" in Indian cinema. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an aggregate rating of 100% (fresh). Being one of the highest grossing films of the year, Krrish grossed Rs 1500 million as total, against Rs 450 million budget. It was a box office success and was elevated to a "blockbuster" rating on Box Office India.
