Koi... Mil Gaya (2003)

The tag line for this movie should be `ET meets Forest Gump in Bollywood'

Director (and Papa) Rakesh Roshan has created a movie especially for son Hritik. The role has been specifically created to show is acting abilities and overlook is famed dancing abilities. Here Hritik Roshan plays the role of a mentally retarded boy and has done this extremely well. This role would be the only one since his debut that has truly been written with him in mind. and boy does he need a hit with this one now considering his last hit was KNPH

The other cast are pretty much on par with the storyline. Preity Zinta looks absolutely stunning throughout the film and is simply good to see. Her acting both serious and comedic is excellent and is well suited to Hritik. Rekha gives an adequate performance as Hritik's mum as does Rakesh as his father.

The other main cast member in this movie are the special effects - it can be seen that very soon ILM could very soon be opening a branch in India. The alien has been well created and generated. The space ship looks spectacular and is on par with movies such as Independence Day. The soundtrack is moderate and nothing to shout about.

Although a break though for hindi cinema, this movie could have done with a shorter time and less songs as well as more effects. Maybe one day in the near future, India will be creating movies on par with 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Matrix' (imagine Neo jumping into a song sequence.), but until then we will have to make do with Koi.Mil Geya.
