Krrish / India / Singapore / 2006

A sequel to the 2003 Bollywood blockbuster, Koi Mil Gaya, which apparently concerns a mentally retarded man who receives superhero powers from an ugly, blue E.T. knockoff, Krrish picks up with the previous film’s son, Krishna, who is a hyper-intelligent muscle man with the goofy grin of Steve Carell’s 40-year old virgin. The film broke box office records in its home country, but while it’s thoroughly and often inadvertently amusing (the special effects are terrible), it’s not particularly notable. Still, it’s a joy to see a film so ingenuous as this, plainly wearing its corporate sponsorship on its sleeve. And in its dialogue. And in every other shot of the film. The second half of the film takes place in Singapore. Why? Because the Singapore Tourist Board sponsored the film. Boy, does Singapore look like a nice place to visit.
