About Krrish Movie:

Krrish is a Hind superhero film directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan.

A sequel to Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), it is the second installment in the Krrish franchise.

Krrish was conceived to be a film of global significance and a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with visual effects on par with those from Hollywood. To that end, the effects team was aided by Hollywood’s Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma, and the stunts were choreographed by Chinese martial arts film expert Tony Ching. The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan, with the background score by Salim–Sulaiman. Filming was done to a large extent in Singapore as well as India.

Krrish released worldwide on 23 June 2006 at a budget of ₹40 crore and on 1000 prints, both near-record amounts for an Indian film at the time.

A blockbuster, Krrish grossed a worldwide total of ₹126 crore, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2006.

Rakesh Roshan stated, “I was a little skeptical that Superman might hurt me, but fortunately it didn’t.” In fact, Krrish fared better at the box office in India than Superman Returns did.

It was also notably screened under the “Informative Screening (Feature)” film category at the 2014 Pyongyang International Film Festival in North Korea.

Krrish received 8 nominations at the 52nd Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Rakesh), Best Actor (Hrithik) and Best Supporting Actress (Rekha), and won 3 awards, including Best Special Effects. At the 8th IIFA Awards, the film received 9 nominations, and won 3 awards, including Best Actor (Hrithik). It also won the National Film Award for Best Special Effects.
