just watch it!
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreOne of the overriding messages i took from Koi Mil Gaya was the blatant advertising of products (i.e. Honda - basketball scene with the tournament the players were taking part in being called the Hero Cup which might as well have been called the Honda Cup with the Pandavas being clothed in shirts bearing the Honda insignia. Also i lost count at the number of times i saw a Coke being consumed with the can being on display. This in a way infuriated me and spoiled part of the film where i felt market forces had directed what was in short advertising space within the film which i didn't already get in the commercial breaks (I watched it on Channel 4). So all in all i largely ignored those scenes as being part of the film which i did enjoy probably as i hadn't watched ET/Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind in a long while so had forgotten the story lines of both so wasn't incessantly comparing them to Koi Mil Gaya. The movie may rip off both movies but we must remember that the film in being made for a largely Indian audience who may not have watched any of the aforementioned movies. So it is a decent take on two of Hollywood's finest movies mixed with a healthy Indian dose of melodrama and musical numbers. Also found Preity Zinta's cheering during the basketball scene very irritating.
View More.....Here that someone is none other than ET - Extra-terrestrial !! - come right from the Outer Space.The hero of the movie is shown here as a mentally challenged boy whose mental maturity level stops maturing after 6 years ..but physically he grows up to be a highly muscular, hulk of a man.His playmates are of course kids between the age group of 6-8 . He is teased by his earlier classmates but he does not mind as he does not understand that he is being teased.In comes a beautiful, scantily dressed oomph - shown driving the open jeep - don't miss her short skirt - and the kid-at-heart hero falls in love with her and expects her to marry him ! His Mother then explains him that his father was a scientist who had found out a way to connect to the outer space and invite the people residing in the outer space ..and when she was carrying him - they had met with an accident as the Outer space creatures had actually come down and messed up a lot many things ! So the reason behind his immaturity was the Outer space fella.This, the Outer space fellow was hearing it all , hidden in the basket (as he had already descended on Mother Earth and was taken care of by the hero)- The ET heals him and he becomes the most macho - most sought after man around.The heroine obviously agrees to marry him quickly and alls well that ends well !! Conclusion : The Bollywood Directors are basically infants at heart and have reached the peak of pitiable condition ! - also they are showing false hopes and dreams to the physically challenged and handicapped children as they all know that nothing of this sort will ever happen with them...but this is not stopping them from falling in love with some pretty neighbourhood lass and getting heart- broken in return - as no normal girl would like to spend the rest of her life with an idiot.Before making a movie, the Directors should think of the consequences as well !
View MoreAll right, I'll admit it, I'm a biased, American college student. Anyone from outside the states probably thinks that I'm ignorant about foreign films and the like. But this movie reminded me of t.v. shows that I watched on PBS when I was 6. It was just that ridiculous.I'm trying to be nice... really. I would agree that the acting of Hrithik Roshan was pretty impressive at some points. But as for everything else, this movie was completely cheesetastic.Seriously...I swear that for the first hour or so nothing interesting happened at all. Or at least nothing of any importance. It makes me really sad that I wasted three hours of my life watching this film.
View MoreThis movie is a real party killer. I didn't know anything about it more than that it is an Indian sci-fi movie. Since I enjoy Indian movies I thought that I might be worth seeing, so when I had a bunch of friends invited last week we were watching this movie. And it was not a success:This movie is even slower than the average Indian movie. Nothing - that is really nothing - happens the first 90 minutes of the movie. Although the movie is quite cute, its just way too slow. A total party killer. 8 of 10 guests had left within the first third of the movie, which means that I cannot give it a higher rating than 3. And then I've been nice...Tip of the day: try this movie if you have a sleeping disorder. It'll definitely make you fall asleep!
