Shaktimaan can beat Krrish !!



Wouldn't want to write a dramatic review ... I'll make it simple this time.

Positives - Special effects in Hindi movies meant no more than flashing coloured 40-watt bulbs, throwing dolls from 50th floor and trying to convince us that its the evil villian, or freezing the scene at mid-air. This movie gives a new dimension, something not seen in a Hindi movie, a super-hero that kids can adopt leaving behind the spiders and the bats.
Jumping over mountains, flying over buildings (Matrix style), running at supersonic speed - he derives his genes from a combination of Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and Neo Anderson (Matrix again). Surprisingly, it generally isn't too artificial, the movie isn't too slow, and the flow of the movie isn't too predictable as well. 'A different movie' in a true sense.

Negatives - C'mon its a Hindi movie !! Its gotta be a load of crap. The special effects ain't too artificial, but it ain't too original too. Fires look like desktop wallpapers !! The story takes peculiar turns, Priyanka Chopra is a boring complication, the script could have included atleast a simple Sardarji joke (even worst movies have jokes that actually make you laugh), songs are placed randomly, Hrithik looks ugly, almost the entire movie has been pinched off from 'Matrix' and 'Pay-check'.
This is of no use ... you know what ?? Take your kids to the movie ... I promise you they'll clap ... if you aren't too much into English cinema, go watch the movie ... you'll clap too ... otherwise don't go !! Rather watch Shaktimaan ...
