The IMPOSSIBLE Success of Krrish

This video unpacks the journey of the Krrish franchise, India’s first major superhero series that redefined sci-fi and fantasy in Bollywood.

When it all began with Koi Mil Gaya in 2003, a groundbreaking film for its heartfelt portrayal of friendship and innocence through Rohit and Jaadoo's bond. Rakesh Roshan’s risky venture succeeded in creating an emotional connection, which paved the way for Hrithik Roshan’s rise as India’s first on-screen superhero, Krrish.

Each installment in the series—from Koi Mil Gaya to Krrish 3—blended emotional depth, family values, and thrilling action. The franchise tapped into Bollywood’s unique storytelling, adapting the superhero genre to fit Indian cultural contexts with relatable characters and Indianized elements.

While Krrish received massive popularity, Krrish 3 faced criticism for unoriginality and overuse of CGI, yet managed impressive box office success.

Now, with Krrish 4 on the horizon, fans are eager to see if it can capture the magic of the originals while appealing to new audiences.

Will Rakesh Roshan's latest venture meet the high expectations? Join us as we explore the legacy, impact, and future potential of this iconic franchise, including the potential return of Jaadoo.
