krrrrrrrish - First in India??.

Somewhere I read the promotions for this movie claiming this to be "India's first Superhero movie". Wonder on what basis?

This man flies in the air. Jumps over buildings. saves children. dodges bullets. Does that make it a superhero movie? Rajinikant has been doing this for over two decades. Even silly outfits such as these have been tried out by Rajini.

In case you feel I am biased towards Tamil superheroes, what about Amitabh? Wasn't he a super hero in Shahenshah or Toofan, and 50 other movies the names of which I cannot fit in here?

What is so great about Hrithik lifting kids and bikes? His uncle rajesh roshan has been lifting tunes since he came to field. Even his dad is prolific in lifting movie themes. May be like "the Incredibles" - this is a family of Supers.

The prequel to this movie owas stupidly called as the "first sci-fi" movie in India. Really? Have you seen an MGR movie, where alien creatures kidnap Bhanumathi? Or that Jaishankar movie where a scientist invents an injection that makes people disappear?

Anyway Rakesh Roshan's marketing genius is far greater than his genius - if there is any - in story telling. So he can call this is the first.. whatever

I feel this is the First 2 hour commercial - for Singapore tourism

May be his next movie may be called as India's first love story. Or India's first Musical. The suspense is killing..
