It benefits from great music, effective special effects, but above all, Hrithik Roshan's extraordinary performance as a mentally disabled young man. To its credit, this is one of the only sci-fi films made in Hindi cinema, and it has succeeded as such. 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.

Koi Mil Gaya is a nice film for the entire family, but mostly for children. With stupendous success of KMG, I was expecting a trend of sci-fi movies in Bollywood but I guess the hamlet still fears to tread the path less-traveled. And Johnny Lever needs a major overhaul - please learn a thing or two from Paresh Rawal. Songs always have been the forte' of Rakesh Roshan movie - thanks to brother Rajesh Roshan. And Rakesh Roshan must have fulfilled his dream of playing screen-father. Rekha fulfills her dream of being Hritik's mother (which she claimed at Awards shows, a few years ago!). T., I was expecting the alien to steal the show - but I guess Hritik proved to be strong competitor. Roshan's should be lauded for the risk they undertook and it has paid off indeed.

It appears that Rakesh Roshan and Hritik Roshan acted as perfect reality- check for each other. T, Independence Day, Forrest Gump, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and Jack but doesn't appear force-fit and nicely blend into actual storyline. We truly have an actor who is dedicated and perfection is his ultimate goal. Hritik stands above the story and script Hritik gets into the skin of the character and delivers a mind-blowing performance which patches up for the flaws in the movie and all the rant critics had about being inspired from dozens of Hollywood movies. How-ever after having watched Koi Mil Gaya I must admit that:: 01. I am generally averse to any of the Bollywood movies inspired by Hollywood - they end up half-baked dodo's.
