Singapore-based Dr. Siddhant Arya recruits Indian-born superman, Rohit Mehra, who was given special powers by an alien named Jadoo, to built a computer that can forecast the future, resulting in an accident that kills Rohit. When this news reaches Rohit's widowed mom, Sonia, in India, she passes this on to Rohit's wife, Nisha, who has just given birth to a son, Krishna, however, Nisha unable to handle this devastating news - passes away, leaving Krishna to be brought up Sonia. When Krishna is enrolled in school, she notices that he has the same intellectual and physical powers that his dad possessed, so in order to shield him from any harm, she re-locates to a secluded and remote area in the mountainous region, where Krishna grows up. Years later, Krishna has matured, has acquired the same special powers of his dad, and is also able to communicate with animals. He meets with camper, Priya, and is attracted to her. When she returns home to Singapore, she phones him to visit her so that she can introduce him to her mom, so that they can get married. A thrilled Krishna travels to Singapore, despite of Sonia's pleas, meets with Priya and is all set to meet her mom, get married and return home. What Krishna does not is that Priya has lured him so that she could exploit his superpowers on her TV network, Star Plus, and not only maintain her job, but also get a promotion. It looks like the naive, and overly trusting Krishna may now be propelled straight into the hands of Dr. Arya, who is still alive, and on the verge of creating the supercomputer that can forecast the future - and is quite capable of doing anything in his power to achieve this nefarious goal and project himself as the one and only God of this universe.

Grand Ma Chopra (Rekha) shelters the orphan grand son- Krrish in far away Manali.
Oceans to cross and promises to keep, Krrish arrives in Singapore with the commitment not to go overboard with his skills and strictly go by the script.

All said, Krrish is definitely worth a watch, if not more.
Krrish, quite an expensive movie by Indian standards, heralds the superhero genre creditably.
There are good hilarious moments in the first half.
She provides emotional moments in the film.

Hrithiks superhuman act in Krrish has been touted as better than Hollywoods super heroes.
John is comfortable rubbing shoulders with mega stars like Salman, Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji as well as talented character actors like Arshad Warsi and Nana Patekar.
