Plot

Template:Spoiler

Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Nisha (Preity Zinta) are married and they have a child, Krishna. Rohit dies in a lab accident in Singapore and Nisha also dies shortly after childbirth at the news of her husband's apparent death. The child Krishna starts growing up under the care of his grandmother (Rekha). As he is growing up, he discovers that he has inherited the superpowers that were transferred to his father by the alien Jadoo in the prequel Koi... Mil Gaya, The movie shows how Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) deals with his powers and saves the world from a megalomaniac scientist, Dr. Arya (Naseeruddin Shah).

As the head of a large information company based in Singapore, Dr. Arya hires Rohit to build an advanced computer that could see the future, telling Rohit that it will be used to avoid disasters and improve mankind. Rohit takes just two years to invent the future computer. When he discovers with its help that Dr. Arya would betray him, Rohit destroys the computer. Dr. Arya, however, is able to rebuild the computer after two decades.

Krishna meets his love interest Priya (Priyanka Chopra) when she visits India from Singapore on a trip. After witnessing his superhuman abilities, she convinces him to travel to Singapore to showcase his abilities to the world. She at first only wishes to use him for publicity and for her career but grows feelings for him after witnessing his courage and selflessness. Per his grandmother's instructions, Krishna keeps his identity secret, and rescues people in disguise as the masked Krrish.

Later in the film we discover that Rohit is still alive after 20 years, kept in suspended animation by the evil Dr. Arya, his former colleague, since the machine could only have been activated by Rohit's heartbeat and eye scan.

Krrish and Priya rescue Rohit, and the three return to their village in India.

Trivia

  • Amrita Rao and Aishwarya Rai were also considered for the role of Priya, but director Rakesh Roshan changed his mind after seeing Priyanka Chopra perform in a special screening of the film Aitraaz.
  • The movie was previously titled was Koi ... Tumsa Nahin - a song in the movie is still titled this way.
  • Hrithik Roshan did extensive martial arts training for this movie - his trainer was Siu-Tung Ching.
  • Hrithik Roshan had a near-fatal accident shooting for a scene in this movie after a supporting wire snapped during filming, but escaped unharmed after landing on a tent shelter.
  • As for the unusually spelling of the title, donning two R's instead of one, is, according to some, to emphasize the rolling of the extra R. The unofficial explanation is that Niraj Mancchanda suggested this name as it has a good numerological equation. Others suggest a practical reason as domains such as www.krish.com or www.krish.org would be taken.
  • Parts of the movie have been inspired from such Hollywood movies as Minority Report and Paycheck.
  • The song "Main Hoon Voh Aasman" is "inspired" by score from the game The Dig composed by Michael Land and Richard Wagner.
  • Unlike recent reports, Krrish is not India's first superhero: his predecessors include Marvel's Cerebra, Indra, Karima Shapandar and Neal Shaara and DC's Maya, Jinx as well as Spider-Man: India and the heroes from Virgin Comics and Raj Comics, as well as the TV series Shaktimaan.
  • One of the promotional posters was inspired by the Daredevil poster. See below:
