The Son's Second Rising

If anyone needs a lesson in the value of parental obedience, just look at Hrithik Roshan. After
seven disastrous runs at the turnstiles, he has finally managed to reach the finishing post. Last
week, he delivered his first confirmed hit after that wondrous debut film, Kaho Na Pyar Hai, all
thanks to some spirited, dedicated guidance from filmmaker dad, Rakesh Roshan.

Koi Mil Gaya (KMG) registered an impressive opening weekend all over India. According to a film
trade site, the net collections exceeded Rs. 60 lakh in the first three days in Mumbai city alone
almost twice the Rs. 38 lakh generated by Kaho Na Pyar Hai in its entire first week.

KMG has conclusively rescued Hrithik from being a total write-off and the star is obviously
excited. "My character of the child-man has struck a deep chord. The response is beyond
anything my dad and I had hoped for," says Hrithik. Even those who didn't like the film have
good things to say, and a not-so-generous industry is giving him a rousing reception.

KMG is just a very cunningly crafted and an astutely packaged film. It has novelty value and
enough pretensions of being "different", pitching itself as the first Indian sci-fi. But KMG never
strays very far from the mainstream. So it moves from Canada to Nainital to Australia to the Film
City in the blink of an eye and all of these locations together pass off for a pseudo-Kasauli.

KMG could well be Bollywood's first attempt at a mega-budget children's film, perhaps, after Mr.
India. "The kids are going crazy with excitement. It's my chance to connect with my young fans,"
says Hrithik. What might be working is the emotional appeal.

The most celebrated aspect of the film, however, has been the change in Hrithik's persona. "The
role required fine-tuning . If it were too intense, it'd look wrong. It was like walking on the razor's
edge ," says Papa Roshan. Even when Hrithik is transformed into a "normal" self, it's still not
quite fully the hunky Hrithik we've known. He carries the residues of "abnormality" even when he
starts dancing with his characteristic plastic efficiency. He does beat up the bad guys, but with
that awkward gait intact. Such a change in image was imminent and long overdue.
