Oh Hrithik, Hrithik, how much do you spoil me? Not only are you gorgeous in that romance-novel-cover way, but you insist in acting in horrible movies that fill me with glee and sporting pleather at the least opportunity. How much better can it get?
Well, I am not sure, since the ante has just been upped with Krrish, Hrithik Roshan's new upcoming movie. It's supposed to be India's first superhero movie (what, have they forgot the atrocioustheft remake of Superman?), but the whole enterprise is undermined by Hrithik's poofy hair and the coat he has clearly stolen from Trinity. Well, you might say undermined. I would definitely say enhanced.
This is a movie that will fill me with glee: hot guy, ridiculous get-up, plot that is delicious to mock and outfits even worse? Thank you, Rakesh Roshan, the director of this baby (and the mastermind behind such gems as "Koyla" which must be seen to be believed). May your bizarre attempts to fetishize your son always remain so entertaining.
Fear me, and my radioactive glow or a romance novel cover of doom:

OMG. Glee unparalleled:

"What is with the pleather? What do you mean you only wear that on weekends?"

Wouldn't that outfit squeak terribly?

I can not possibly make any comment to match the beauty of this pic. It stands alone:

"Dammit, they told me the S&M convention was that way!"

"Well, this can't be any worse than The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"

Hrithik dances with the devil in the pale moonlight:

Investing in all that pleather made Hrithik too broke to buy a full shirt:

Meet Priscilla, Mistress of Pain. Or at least of Mild Discomfort:

Hrithik the lifelike hood ornament:

I know Bollywood heros often have their own thunder, but Hrithik seems to have gone a step beyond and gotten his own lightning:

Scary aliens. No really, they don't look human:

"Free! Free at last! Now if I could only get better clothes than the bandages even a Mummy wouldn't look at:"

Hrithik's dangerous quest for normal clothes:

And a less tacky angle:

Seriously, do I even NEED to make comments?

"I shall avenge the loss of my hairstylist!"

Seriously, Trinity is looking for her coat. And she will be PISSED to find out where it went:

This future will consist of inventing a really REALLY tacky keyboard:

Definitely keyboard. Next up, world's smallest violin:

"Wait, you are not Mary Jane!"
"Hey, you are no Peter Parker, either."

Hrithik is ashamed to show his face:

"Grandma, I promise to not marry any superheroine in slutty clothes but a good girl you will find for me:"

"Hey, at least I am free from pleather"

"Ahhh, here it is:"

The audience reaction on seeing "Krrish:"

The attack of the hair monster. And a scary dearth of shampoo. That is the plot of the sequel "Krrish Returns. And cleans his hair."

I was thinking more "wedding cake", but hood ornament works too.

Forget baby powder. He'd have to be melted down and poured in and out of his clothes.

What the heck is Priyanka doing in this film anyway??
no subject
Date: 2006-05-01 11:03 pm (UTC)Making money? :P Seriously though, while Hrithik movies are always full of publicity and this is a high profile thing, the Roshan movies always put the girl into the background. She should just ask Amisha Patel.
But she does have that movie with SRK coming out, and Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam, so I hope her trajectory is set because I love the girl.

Now that's I've seen these pics, I really can't wait to see the movie...I think I'm actually going to die laughing...
And I must thank you, btw--you helped me win a bet with my dad.
I told him last year that I was dead sure R Roshan would have Rekha's miraculously unaged grandma character raising 'Krissshhh'. And poor deluded man, he was under the impression that I would be proved wrong, because Roshan couldn't possibly think the audience would be dumb enough to swallow that.
*snort* Yeah, right.
