After very much enjoying the superhero movie "Krrish", I was eagerly awaiting to watch its predecessor. The first half of the movie I enjoyed very much so. I think the lead actor does a great job in portraying the mentally retarded Rohit. Here we learn which problems Rohit encounters in everyday life because of his disability. And we learn how he befriends Nisha, the love interest.
The second half though is a rip-off of E.T. Aliens land (special effect for the space ship are good) and leave again, leaving behind one of their own. This E.T. rip-off befriends Rohit and gives him abilities (great mind and physical powers). In the end Rohit must help E.T. to get home again avoiding all the military.
Rahit is the father of the character of the sequel. In the sequel we learn through flashbacks what happens to Rahit after this first movie. And these scenes were my expectations for this movie. I would have liked it better, if the second half of this movie would have had the tone similar to the scenes we saw in these flashback scenes.
The songs in this movie are rather forgettable. Nothing as catchy as the ones in Krrish. But they didn't bother me.

Wait Until Dark, a review by Dragonfire

My Thoughts

This is a very well done suspenseful movie.  Some scenes move a bit slower while everything is being set up, but it works wonderfully overall.  All but a few scenes are set in Susy's apartment which helps to build the tension, especially later in the movie.  I didn't find the movie to be suspenseful at all, and I was genuinely surprised by a few things that happened.  At one point there is a..jump moment.  This one is very well done and works perfectly with everything that is going on that the time.  Susy's husband did annoy me a bit with his attitude toward her.  I get that he is trying to get her to be able to take care of herself and not be dependent, but he is a bit harsh at times.  Overall, this is a very well done thriller that deserves to be seen.

 

I did get a review posted on Epinions.

This series finale was planned as a season finale and ends on a cliffhanger. The series got cancelled after the finale was already shot. But I still works as a series finale
