'Koi Mil Gaya'

By ApunKaChoice Bureau
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com



With its novel theme and storyline Koi Mil Gaya breaks the Bollywood stereotype that doesn’t go beyond mushy romances and loud action thrillers. Rakesh Roshan seems to have got his finger on audience’s pulse and has delivered just what a viewer needed.

In the first place it was a gambit to show the protagonist of the film Rohit (Hrithik) as a mentally retarded boy who is subject to ridicule and mockery for the major portion of the first half of the movie. In addition, Rakesh puts in some spicy ingredients like Hrithik’s one-sided romance for Preity. And the introduction of the alien at the interval point does raise expectations of the second half.

The


latter half of the movie sees the transformation of an abnormal boy into a hero after he is touched by the extraterrestrial being. Then follow some of the sequences that are bound to catch viewers’ fancy.

For instance, the scene when weakling Rohit is empowered and becomes physically super-strong with his biceps tearing apart his shirt will certainly appeal to kids.

Another highlight is the basketball match that shows once-subdued Rohit crushing his arrogant opponents.

Besides these, the movie does have some dramatic moments – like the emotional outburst by Rekha soon after Rajat Bedi and his friends assault Hrithik. Equally moving is the scene when the computer teacher insults Hrithik in the second half. Hrithik's subsequent dialogues show that he has grown up as an actor.

Koi Mil Gaya undoubtedly belongs to Hrithik Roshan who seems to have got under the very skin of his character. The conviction with which he plays the mentally challenged boy in the first half is surely worth praising. Not only does the actor deliberately distort his facial expressions while speaking his dialogues, he also brings about a garbling accent in his voice. And then he transforms into a superhuman (in the second half) with quicksilver ease.

Preity Zinta does leave an impression in the movie but not so much for her acting than her glamorous presence and bubbly persona. Rekha fits well in the role of Hrithik’s mother and Rakesh Roshan plays his part of an obsessed scientist quite well.

In a nutshell, Koi Mil Gaya is interesting not only because it has a new storyline and the ‘alien connection’, but also because of Hrithik’s laudable acting and Roshan’s senior’s polished direction.
