Krrish Hindi Film Song

[Pinkie Pappalardo]

Therecipient of several awards, Koi... Mil Gaya won three National Film Awards (including Best Film on Other Social Issues). At the 49th Filmfare Awards, it was nominated in eleven categories and received five awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Rakesh Roshan), and Best Actor and Best Actor (Critics) (Hrithik Roshan). The film won five of its eleven nominations at the 5th IIFA Awards, including Best Director (Rakesh Roshan) and Best Actor (Hrithik Roshan). Considered a milestone of its genre, it is one of the first Indian films featuring aliens. The character of Jadoo became popular and inspired a spin-off series entitled J Bole Toh Jadoo (2004).

Scientist Sanjay Mehra has created a computer from which he sends variations of the syllable Om into space, hoping to attract extraterrestrial life. When he believes he has finally received a response, the scientific community ridicules him. While Sanjay is driving home, an alien spacecraft appears overhead. Distracted, Sanjay gets into a car accident that kills him and injures his pregnant wife, Sonia; their son, Rohit, is born with a developmental disability. Surgery is the only cure but it could paralyse or kill him. Not wanting to risk losing her son, Sonia raises him as he is in the small town of Kasauli.

Years later, a young woman, Nisha Malhotra, arrives in town, initially antagonistic to Rohit because of his childish practical jokes against her. Her friend, Raj Saxena, and his gang attack Rohit in retaliation, breaking his kick scooter. Sonia chides them for assaulting Rohit just because he is not normal like them and the fact that Rohit was trying to apologise to Nisha. Realizing her mistake, Nisha gifts Rohit a bicycle and makes up with him. Now friends, the two play with Sanjay's old computer and inadvertently send signals into space. An extraterrestrial spacecraft appears, causing a power outage in town. The ship leaves, accidentally leaving a group member behind. Rohit, Sonia, Nisha, and Rohit's young friends befriend the alien, naming him Jadoo (Magic) after discovering his telekinetic abilities derive from sunlight.

Raj's bullying upsets Rohit about not being up to par with Nisha's intelligence. Jadoo discovers that Rohit is abnormal and uses his powers to enhance his mental and intellectual ability. Rohit's mental and physical abilities increase to superhuman levels. He tells Nisha that he loves her; Nisha, though stunned at Rohit's transformation, returns his feelings. Eventually, police are tipped off about Jadoo; led by Inspector Khurshid Khan, suspicious of Rohit, confronts him at his home. The police seize Jadoo and knock Rohit out. Rohit catches up to the police in time to save Jadoo from being sent to the United States. The flying saucer returns to retrieve Jadoo and Rohit shares an emotional farewell with his friend. As Jadoo leaves, Rohit reverts to his old self; this saves him from prosecution by the government, who congratulate him for his actions.

Raj and his friends later harass Rohit again, challenging him to kick a ball to them. Rohit angrily kicks the ball into Raj's face after Jadoo permanently returns his superpowers. Rohit and Nisha thank Jadoo and get married.

Following the success of the romantic thriller Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), the director Rakesh Roshan wanted to collaborate again with his son, Hrithik Roshan, who starred in the film alongside the debutante Ameesha Patel.[9][10] The director wanted his next project to be a child-centric film, not just a romance, which Rakesh Roshan had done many times in his career both as a director and actor.[9][11] He told Bollywood Hungama that he was motivated to make a film that was not "run-of-the-mill" but "an out-of-the-box yet entertaining, mainstream film", after attending the premiere of Lagaan in June 2001 during the 2nd IIFA Awards.[12] He announced it subsequently at the ceremony while he was receiving the Best Director award for Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.[13] The idea to make a film on extraterrestrial life came up when he saw his five-year-old granddaughter watching a series about it on a cartoon network.[14] He later informed Hrithik Roshan of the project when the latter was shooting the 2001 release Yaadein in Delhi; Hrithik Roshan accepted the role immediately.[12]

When Koi... Mil Gaya was announced, Rakesh Roshan said that his son Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta would play the lead roles in the film;[13][25] it marked the actors' second collaboration after Mission Kashmir (2000).[26][27] Playing against type, Roshan was cast as the developmentally disabled man Rohit.[28] He admitted the role had reminded him of his childhood, saying he could eat as many chocolates as he wanted and "became a baby and everybody was so caring towards me".[29] Hrithik Roshan called it the "most challenging role" of his career,[30][31] but revealed he had accepted the part after his father first offered it to him, confessing that his excitement made the role feel much easier.[32] In a retrospective interview with Mint, he explained that he "revisited that earlier passion I had felt when I did my first film".[33] To provide an accurate portrayal, Hrithik Roshan lost 8 kilograms (18 lb), changed his hairstyle, and wore loose clothes to cover his well-built body.[16][29]

Zinta was given the role of Rohit's friend and then-wife, Nisha, after Rakesh Roshan saw her 20-minute performance in Mani Ratnam's 1998 thriller Dil Se.. and was impressed by it.[34][35] It was originally to be played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Kareena Kapoor; however, he saw that Rai Bachchan would not be a suitable co-actor as she was older than Hrithik Roshan, while Kapoor opted out because she had collaborated with the actor on many projects.[36] Zinta, who enjoyed her part as Nisha and called Koi... Mil Gaya a special film for her,[37][38] described the role as an attempt to change her "conventional heroine" image, telling Rediff.com that: "If I only did the glam-and-pout act, I would have stuck out like a sore thumb and destroyed the film's timeless texture."[39] The part proved to be a new challenge for her, and she found it to be her career's "toughest" role as it was "a very-controlled character".[40] Hrithik Roshan spoke positively of his rapport with her, and said he would "have been only half effective" if she was not his co-star.[41]

In July 2001, Rekha joined the cast and portrays Rohit's mother Sonia, a part that was specifically written by Rakesh Roshan for her.[42][43] Rakesh Roshan recommended she play the character as soon as he had finished writing the film's screenplay.[14] "I didn't even have a back-up artiste in mind for her role. If she had turned me down, I wonder what I would've done", he told Filmfare.[44] Discussing the film and its casting with the press, Hrithik Roshan said that she was the best on-screen mother and called her "marvellous".[45] Rekha saw that her part was "not too big", but believed that the role's motherhood aspect made it "worthwhile".[46] The film was her second project with Zinta following Dil Hai Tumhaara in 2002;[47] it also reunited her with Rakesh Roshan after both had worked together on several films such as Khubsoorat (1980) and Khoon Bhari Maang (1989).[32] After Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Rishi Kapoor rejected the role, Rakesh Roshan decided to play the small role of Rohit's father and Sonia's husband, the scientist Sanjay.[16][43] The film marked his comeback to acting following the 1999 comedy-drama Mother.[34]

Critical response to the album was positive, and Rajesh Roshan confessed he had never received that much appreciation.[58][61] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama concluded, "In all, the music ... doesn't disappoint. Though we may not be able to compare its music with the earlier Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai by the same team, it has its share of plus points going in its favour."[62] Planet Bollywood's Anish Khanna declared "Jaadoo Jaadoo" as the best song from the soundtrack album.[59] In a less-positive review, Narendra Kusnur from Mid-Day opined that it "loses out on consistency".[63] The Hindu concluded the title song was "the unique selling point" of the film, referring to it as a "sonorous number", praising Chithra's singing.[64] The critic added, "The lyrics of all the songs are simple and easily understandable. Rajesh Roshan is able to impart a certain freshness to the music."[65]

Koi... Mil Gaya was one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2003, owing to its science fiction genre, one rarely used by any Indian films before, and the character Jadoo.[69][70] Promoted with the tagline, "You Are Not Alone...", the film was targeted at children and parents.[71][72] The TV spots, created by Prime Focus company, were aired on television for a week.[71] As a part of the promotion, MTV India managed a special show for the film, titled MTV Making of the Movie (containing interviews of the cast and crew) which aired between 10 and 14 August.[73]

After seeing its promotional trailers, Komal Nahta, the editor of the trade magazine Film Information, reported: "This has been my gut feeling ever since I heard the narration of the film concept. But the magic of the film comes across even through the promos."[69] Amod Mehra said that the film's themes would successfully attract an audience, giving "adults ... a chance to relive their childhood".[69] Sharing the same sentiments, the critic and film trade observer Taran Adarsh added that "the combination of Hrithik, Rakesh and Rajesh Roshan" would make its opening "bumper".[74]

A special screening was held for Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani along with their families on 2 August 2003 in Mumbai.[75] After watching the film, Vajpayee told Rakesh Roshan that he had made "a very good film".[74] The film was released theatrically six days later and clashed with Vikram Bhatt's Footpath and Satish Kaushik's Tere Naam.[14][76] According to Rediff.com's Syed Firdaus Ashraf, who attended its premiere in Mumbai, he saw that children would continuously shout, "Jadoo! Jadoo!". He also reported that the film's tickets were being sold illegally by black marketeers at a higher price.[77]
