Krrish 3 - Its not a film, it is a manufactured blockbuster

Krrish 3 - This film is not made as an expression of art or to narrate a story. It is manufactured to be a Diwali blockbuster - manufactured with elements borrowed from Hollywood films and Rakesh Roshan's own films. As I watched this film in a packed hall, and was constantly getting distracted by the brand placements in the film (I could spot 15 brands at least), my mind was numerically calculating the crores it is going to collect. It doesn't matter that I didn't enjoy the film at all. It doesn't matter that so called 1st super-hero of Bollywood fails to inspire. So instead of a review, here is the way this film was manufactured - 

Krrish's opening scene copied from Superman (+)10 points, The scene copied badly (-)10 points, The scene looks better than the effects in Ra.One (+)10 points

The antidote scene for countering virus in Mumbai copied from The Amazing Spiderman (+)10 points, The scene copied badly (-)10 points, The scene looks better than the effects in Ra.One (+)10 points

Kaal's character copied from X-Men series (+)10 points, combined Magneto and Professor X into one (+)10 points, Vivek Oberoi is Kaal (-)50 points

Kaal's scrap suits gets assembled in Iron Man style (+)10 points, makes a mess of it (-)10 points, Vivek Oberoi is no Robert Downy Jr. (-)50 points

Some parts of the film inspired by Mission Impossible series (+) 10 points and ended with a possibility of The Incredibles copy in Krrish 4 (+)50 points

Climax of the film copied from at least 3 films - Man of Steel, Avengers etc. (+) 30 points, copied well (+) 30 points, better than effects in Ra.One (+) 10 points, Vivek Oberoi is killed (+) 100 points 

I had seen all the films from which Krrish 3 has borrowed (-) 50 points, my wife didn't sleep through the film (+) 50 points

Thankfully there was no Krrish 2 (+) 50 points, Pathetic songs by Rajesh Roshan and misplaced emotional scenes (-)30 points, All non special effects scenes have tacky production quality (-20) points, Super-hero Krrish dies once and is revived by his father (-) 20 points, Super-hero Krrish not only saves the world, he spends half the time to save his family members as well (+) 20 points, Priyanka Chopra (-)100 points, Kangna Ranaut as the hottest mutant ever (+) 100 points, Kangna Ranaut in those skimpy outfits (+) 850 points


Total Points (+) 1020 (Don't bother to check my maths, Kangna has skewed the scores). Result: 10 days Average 20 crores each day. Anything above is bonus 

P.S. I felt pity for the main leads that they had to do this film, where in the garb of a super-hero film, Rakesh Roshan serves the same stuff he has been serving for ages - revenge, lost brothers, father-son drama, his hero always playing more than 2 roles. By the way weren't Karan Arjun and Kishan Kanhaiya doing the same shit in his earlier films, without a cape.
