Plot Summary
The film begins with a narration by Amitabh Bachchan, who introduces the story of Rohit Mehra (Hrithik Roshan), a scientist who gained superpowers after being exposed to an alien device, and his son Krishna Mehra (also Hrithik Roshan), who inherited his father's abilities and became the superhero Krrish. The film then shows Rohit working on a device that can harness solar energy and provide free electricity to the world. However, his project is sabotaged by Kaal, a paraplegic genius who has telekinetic powers and can control metal objects. Kaal also creates a group of mutants called Maanvars, who have animal-like abilities and serve him as his soldiers. Kaal wants to use Rohit's device to spread a deadly virus across the world and then sell the antidote for a huge profit.
Kaal sends one of his mutants, Ant Man (Sameer Ali Khan), to steal Rohit's device. Ant Man attacks Rohit's laboratory and injures Rohit. Krishna, who works as a circus performer under the alias Krrish, arrives at the scene and fights Ant Man. He manages to save Rohit and recover the device, but Ant Man escapes. Rohit reveals to Krishna that he has created an antidote for the virus, which he has hidden in a pendant that he gives to Krishna. He also tells Krishna that he has traced Kaal's location to Singapore and asks him to go there and stop him.
Krishna travels to Singapore with his wife Priya (Priyanka Chopra), who is pregnant with their child. There, they meet Kaya (Kangana Ranaut), Kaal's right-hand woman and chief scientist. Kaya pretends to be a journalist and interviews Krishna about his circus act. She then uses her shape-shifting ability to take Priya's form and kidnap her. She also swaps her identity with Priya and infiltrates Krishna's hotel room. She tries to seduce Krishna and steal the pendant, but fails when Krishna notices that she does not have Priya's mole on her back. Krishna realizes that she is an impostor and confronts her. Kaya reveals her true identity and escapes with the pendant.
Krishna follows Kaya to Kaal's laboratory, where he discovers that Kaal is his brother. Kaal reveals that he was born to Rohit's father Dr. Siddhant Arya (Naseeruddin Shah), who had experimented on Rohit's pregnant wife Sonia (Rekha) without her consent. Sonia died during childbirth, but Kaal survived with deformities and powers. He was adopted by a wealthy businessman (Mohnish Behl), who exploited him for his abilities. Kaal killed his adoptive father when he learned the truth about his birth and vowed to take revenge on Rohit and his family.
Kaal also reveals that he has injected Priya with the virus and plans to use her unborn child as a test subject for his antidote. He then injects himself with the antidote, which cures his paralysis and gives him enhanced strength and speed. He challenges Krishna to a fight and easily overpowers him. He then throws him into a river and leaves him for dead.
Meanwhile, Kaya develops feelings for Krishna after spending time with him. She decides to help him and frees Priya from Kaal's clutches. She also contacts Rohit and tells him about Kaal's plan. Rohit arrives in Singapore with Kripal Sharma (Rajpal Yadav), his assistant, and meets Kaya and Priya. He tells them that he has made a new device that can reverse the effects of the virus and restore Kaya's original form. He also tells them that he has located Krishna, who is still alive but unconscious.
Kaal learns about Kaya's betrayal and kills her. He then launches a missile that contains the virus and targets Mumbai. Rohit uses his device to divert the missile and destroy it in the sky. He then uses his powers to revive Krishna, who regains consciousness and flies to Kaal's laboratory. There, he engages in a final battle with Kaal, who has become more powerful after absorbing the energy from the explosion. The two fight in the air and land on a skyscraper. Kaal tries to kill Krishna with a metal rod, but Krishna deflects it and impales Kaal with it. Kaal falls to his death, while Krishna reunites with Priya and Rohit.

The film broke several records at the domestic and overseas box office, such as the highest single-day collection, the highest opening weekend collection, the highest opening week collection, and the highest grossing film in a single territory. The film also received several awards and nominations, including Best Actor for Hrithik Roshan and Best Actress for Kangana Ranaut at the Filmfare Awards.
Conclusion
Krrish 3 is a film that tries to be a spectacle of science fiction and superhero action, but fails to deliver on its promise. The film suffers from a weak script, poor direction, and excessive length. The film also borrows heavily from Hollywood films, without adding any originality or innovation. The film's only saving grace is the performance of Hrithik Roshan, who plays three roles with conviction and charisma. Kangana Ranaut also impresses as the shape-shifting Kaya, who adds some depth and emotion to the otherwise bland story. The film's visual effects and action sequences are decent, but not enough to compensate for the film's flaws. Krrish 3 is a film that could have been much better, if only it had focused more on its story and characters, rather than on its spectacle and style.
