It's Diwali, when Indian movie companies tend to release their big blockbusters (ENDHIRAN was a Diwali release a few years back), and this year's big one is KRRISH 3, a sequel to KRRISH, which itself was a sequel to KOI... MIL GAYA (which explains why there is no KRRISH 2).

It's actually a lot of fun, a superhero movie that happily piles more action and plot twists on starting early so that its average-by-Bollywood-standards two and a half hour length zips by pretty quickly.  Hrithik Roshan is entertaining in his dual roles, Priyanka Chopra remains very pretty, and the big action scene in the end compares well to the likes of MAN OF STEEL.  There are three songs, but only one really goes on too long and seems like a random music video stuck in the middle of a movie.

In Boston, it's playing at Apple Cinemas Fresh Pond and Regal Fenway, and also in the suburbs.  I had a pretty good time with it, and think it should be pretty new-viewer friendly - all you need to know is recapped pretty painlessly, though I did see the previous two when they came out.  I actually liked it better than the movies it follows; it's tighter and less all over the place in its tone.

But, is it as fun as ENDHIRAN?

Different sort of fun; Krrish 3 is more "entertaining action/adventure" compared to Endhiran's "what the heck did I just see?"
