New Delhi: With 'Krrish 3', Indian superhero films have taken a leap of faith. Made and promoted at a mega budget, the latest film in the Krrish franchise showcases some breath-taking action sequences and perfectly imagined animated scenes. The CGI used in the film is much ahead of the earlier superhero films made by Bollywood. However, there are some traits which are essentially Indian in the film and those qualities are likely to help the audience in identifying a superhero even if they were not familiar with him in the past. We have compiled a list of five such things that will help you in recognising a Hindi film superhero. You can also use them as tricks to reveal someone's hidden identity.
There are spoilers ahead so proceed at your own risk.
The beats: Oh come on, we are not talking about the Batman of Superman, they don't know the small joys of life. Our superheroes know how to live the life to the fullest despite carrying the burden of saving the world. So, all you need to do is to make some musical sounds, precisely a song, which will prompt them to break into a jig, and you will understand in no time that your superhero is also a passionate dancer.
It's all personal you see: How do you expect someone to become a superhero without any personal crisis? This is not Hollywood, here you need to avenge the death of your father otherwise you don't deserve to be a hero, leave aside being a superhero. Don't forget that your family is the building block of the world.
The underwear: Thank god that our superheroes don't wear their inner-wears over their colourful costumes. This is 'the' quality which makes them superior top their western counterparts.
Sleeping with the enemy: A true superhero is expected to fall in love with someone from the opposite side. This is a tradition since time immemorial and every Hindi superhero film is expected to carry forward the legacy.
The trail: A good superhero needs to remain in the memories of his fellow countrymen. And, that is possible only when he keeps returning to cinema halls after every 18 months. However, they have been superheroes who returned to the screens even after 5 years, but it is appreciated if your sabbatical is not more than 18-24 months. Yes, you understood it right. The film should finish with the possibility of a sequel.
