Koi... Mil Gaya (2003)

To me, this movie is perfection.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

'Koi… mol gaya' is first of its kind movie in Bollywood inspired from Hollywood block buster 'Extra Terrestrial'. Rakesh Roshan has well modified this movie for Indian audiences. The movie can be enjoyed watching with entire family.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Hill station where UFO lands, child artists, well paced narration of story (suitable for Indian Audiences), Hrithik in his child avatar everything has been crafted well (4/5).Tone: Rakesh constructs a device that can be used for Alien communication. It becomes reason why he gets killed and his child, Hrithik grows as a retard. When he along with Zinta establish connection again Aliens visit and one of them is left on planet earth. The Alien befriends them all and makes Hrithik well again. I would say the tone is set well (4/5).Goof: The size of Alien changes throughout the movie.Music: Music is very good (4/5).Acting: Rekha, Preity Zinta, Rajat Bedi, Prem Chopra, Mukesh Rishi , Johny Lever everybody along with child artists have acted really well. Hrithik has acted exceptionally well. I find it as his best performance till current date (4.5/5). Half mark extra for Hrithik.Final Verdict: It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].

Koi Mil Gaya is a nice film for the entire family, but mostly for children. Not much does it offer to adults. It does not mean the film is bad or something, I really enjoyed it for being a very well-made movie, but it's just not a film anyone would want to watch twice. To its credit, this is one of the only sci-fi films made in Hindi cinema, and it has succeeded as such. It benefits from great music, effective special effects, but above all, Hrithik Roshan's extraordinary performance as a mentally disabled young man. It also has lovely appearances from other actors, including Preity Zinta's light yet great portrayal of a modern young woman who learns to communicate with Hrithik's Rohit, and Rekha's moving act of his mother who is in a daily struggle with her son's defect. But these ladies succeed because they are two actresses of great screen presence. Otherwise the film was clearly made by Rakesh Roshan for his son. I frankly get a bit angered that all three of his films starring his son did not give any notable scope to other actors but were mainly created to promote Hrithik. The film is considered to be revolutionary, while clearly it is not. We had Mr India in 1987 which was in my view better at its time. Koi Mil Gaya is similar to E.T, but frankly pales in comparison. This Jaadoo, while a sweet creature, is plastic. BTW, he can't act (just kidding!). Anyway, the film is worth watching for its innovative concept and light, endearingly childish script.

A middle class family Ranjit and Sonia live in rural India. Ranjit wants to pursue his career on studying and researching on heavenly creatures. His life consists of telescopes, computers and various communicating devices. He believes in Om and keeps transmitting this sound to various places and believes someone someday will respond to this sound. And one day, he does get a response.When he disclose this, he is humiliated by his colleagues. A earthquake occurs someday later which kills him, destroys his house. Sonia is saved and delivered a baby boy. This boy is born with serious mental disabilities. The child is named Rohit. Rohit grows up only physically but not mentally. He is always made fun by his classmates. Then one day something happens which changes his life for better.A spaceship lands near his house and one of the commuter is left out when the spaceship takes off. Now this alien becomes the new friend of Rohit, but according to the State, this is a crime. The government tries to take the alien away, and Rohit decides to send the alien back to its planet. Will he be able to do it? Or the alien will remain as a research object in this planet?

Unaware of the consequences which are to follow, both Rohit and Nisha become engross with the display of images on the monitor.
