The Weird World of Indian Superhero Movies

Main idea / premise

The video is a humorous, opinionated “review tour” through major Indian superhero movies. It compares how they match (or miss) the creator’s Hollywood-style superhero expectations.

Main plot / structure

• The creator explains their childhood obsession with superhero media—especially Hollywood.
• They then “check” how Indian superhero attempts measure up.
• Reviews run in sequence:
  • starting with the Krrish universe
  • moving through other notable superhero entries
  • ending with overall takeaways and a quick “tier list” vibe

Key highlights, jokes, and reactions (by movie)

1) Koi Mil Gaya (origin point)

Presented as a sci-fi ET-inspired movie that effectively kicks off the later Krrish cinematic universe.

• The creator admits they surprised themselves by liking it, while calling out major flaws:
  • stupid decisions
  • constant “nonsense”
  • unbearable song-and-dance overload
• They say they can tolerate it only because they watched it online and skipped musical sequences—otherwise it would be “torture.”

Big praise goes to:

• Hrithik Roshan’s performance
• the alien effects, which they say look convincing for a 2003 Bollywood film

2) Krrish (2006)

Starts strong, then (after about 18 minutes) shifts into long, repetitive Bollywood romance centered on Priyanka Chopra’s character.

• Early reaction is sharply negative (“my disappointment is immeasurable”).
• The tone improves in the second half, where the superhero/action focus returns.

They mock the power logic with punchy comparisons like:

• “How is he not Spider-Man?”
• “How is he doing all of that?”
• Near the end, they joke that he even “becomes the Flash” by running absurdly fast.

Main praise:

• the lead actor’s performance, especially dual acting as son and father

Overall vibe / score:

• decent but only if you survive the first half (~6/10)

3) Krrish 3

The creator goes in harsh:

• jokes about the missing “Krrish 2”
• calls it ripped-off from Western superhero beats

The villain is described as:

• “Magneto in Professor X’s chair”
• with mutant goons, played like an extremely on-the-nose parody

They complain about:

• bad VFX
• ugly costume/makeup
• songs appearing at the “least expected times”
  • including a scene where a husband reacts to pregnancy by dancing nonstop for minutes

Only major consistent positive:

• the actor’s performance, even with a terrible script

Overall vibe / score:

• actively bad (~4.5/10), described as “not even mid—just bad.”

---

4) Ra.One (2011, SRK)

Treated as “couldn’t be stopped” Bollywood-superhero chaos, met with near-total disdain.

They do acknowledge one redeeming factor:

• the CGI/VFX are decent most of the time, with occasional inconsistency (“PS3 cutscene”)

Everything else gets roasted:

• plot: “stupid” (a video-game win leading to real-life villain revenge)
• logic issues, including a death/burial/ashes timeline mismatch
• characters called moronic; dialogue mocked (e.g., “Zip it, crap face”)
• dance/song culture criticized again, including a lyric about “booty going bop bop bop.”

Overall reaction:

• “-10/10” for one of the worst experiences they’ve had

---

5) Bhavesh Joshi (grounded vigilante superhero)

This is the creator’s major pivot. They call it the first one that feels grounded and realistic, closer to a dark superhero tone (Daredevil/Punisher/Batman vibes).

Praises:

• believable characters and dialogue
• no constant goofy musicals interrupting pacing (only one brief, story-integrated dance moment)
• strong cinematography at times

Criticisms:

• pacing in the second half feels off
• third-act fights are serviceable but not great

Response / score:

• genuinely impressed: “damn good” (~8/10)
• regrets it underperformed financially, despite decent critical indicators
  • citing Rotten Tomatoes and the budget/box-office mismatch

They also explain the failure using audience taste:

• audience preferences + dominance of commercial cinema

6) Maalik / Minal Murali (2021 Malayalam superhero comedy-drama)

The creator tempers expectations after hearing lots of praise.

• described as decent and entertaining, but not “best ever”
• praises:
  • budget-boosted VFX, impressive for 18 crores
  • villain performance, especially the “slow descent into madness”
  • comedy tone (works more than expected; not “cringe”)

Biggest standout:

• zero dance numbers/musicals, treated like a major victory

Criticisms:

• could be trimmed down (too long)
• pacing issues
• predictable story and an underwhelming climax

Overall vibe / score:

• ~6.5/10 (solid but not a masterpiece)

---

Overall ending recap (final stance)

• Krrish movies: flawed but “growing on me,” and they’re now excited for Krrish 4.
• Ra.One: basically a write-off in their view.
• Flying Jatt: mentioned as unbearable cringe (they want it erased from memory).
• Bhavesh Joshi: changed their perception; standout pick.
• Minal Murali: good, but not “best of all time.”

They also note:

• they took longer than planned to upload due to personal circumstances
• the opinions are their own

Notable personalities mentioned (from the video)

• Hrithik Roshan
• Priyanka Chopra
• Shah Rukh Khan (SRK)
• Satyajit Ray (quoted/paraphrased about audience sophistication)
