Krrish (Hindi pronunciation: [krɪʃ]) is a 2006 Indian superhero action thriller film directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. The film stars Hrithik Roshan in a dual role, alongside Priyanka Chopra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, Sharat Saxena and Manini Mishra. It is the second instalment in the Krrish franchise and a sequel to Koi... Mil Gaya. In the film, Krishna Mehra, who has superhuman abilities like his father Rohit Mehra, falls in love with Priya and follows her to Singapore, where he takes on the superhero persona of Krrish and sets out to thwart the plans of the evil scientist Dr. Siddhant Arya, who is creating a supercomputer which shows the future.
Krrish was conceived to be a film of global significance and a trendsetter in Indian cinema, with VFX on par with those from Hollywood. To that end, the effects team was aided by Marc Kolbe and Craig Mumma and the action scenes were choreographed by Tony Ching. The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan, while the background score was composed by Salim–Sulaiman. Filming was done to a large extent in Singapore as well as India.
Krrish was released worldwide on 23 June 2006 at a budget of ₹40 crore and on over 1000 prints both near-record amounts for an Indian film at the time.[3] The film received positive reviews from critics and received a record opening week at the box office. A blockbuster, Krrish grossed a worldwide total of ₹126 crore, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2006.[4] The film 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.
