Boxoffy Read
Rakesh Roshan's Krrish 3 took the superhero franchise to its logical domestic extreme — a fully CGI-inflected universe with mutants, a villain whose power rivals the hero's, and Hrithik Roshan doing the physical work that the franchise's credibility requires. The film's ₹245 Cr on ₹175 Cr budget produced a Blockbuster verdict that reflected solid profit despite the enormous production investment. The franchise demonstrated that Indian superhero cinema could sustain itself across multiple films when anchored by genuine star power.
