ÂComparisons Always Happen, says Rakesh Roshan
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,June 27 2006]
ÂKrrish is blazing guns at the Box Office. The unprecedented response from Patna to New York has left everyone dazed. But director Rakesh Roshan is also facing criticism from various quarters. Some people are of the opinion that ÂKrrish fails to touch peopleÂs hearts the way ÂKoi Mil Gaya did. Roshan Senior feels that comparisons always happen. But comparing ÂKrrish with ÂKoi Mil Gaya is like comparing Raj KapoorÂs ÂSangam with ÂAwaaraÂ. The Box Office collections according to him tell another story as ÂKrrish is all set to be the biggest blockbuster of India. He says that ÂKrrish will cross Rs 60 Crores in seven days.
Replying to the allegation that the film is too long and that the comic element in the first half is not required, Roshan justifies the old fashioned comedy by stating that when he makes a film he has to think about an audience as far and wide as Patna to US. The people living in the interiors of the country relish old fashioned comedy so he had to have it for making his film more palatable to a wider audience. As for the excessive product endorsements being plugged in the film, he is of the opinion that it happens in West all the time. And as long as the narrative isnÂt getting affected then whatÂs the harm.
