Hence, it would have looked quite odd if the makers had not dealt it well. Viewers and experts might not have realized it then but the romance between the mentally disabled Rohit and the young and petite Nisha (Preity Zinta) was quite sensitively handled, since Rohit was like a child. As a result, one can feel the pain when he’s humiliated by the computer teacher and especially by the antagonist Raj Saxena (Rajat Bedi) and his pals. The protagonist Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) is an endearing chap and viewers instantly fell for him. In this 2.44 hours long film, the alien makes his entry only when it crosses the halfway mark! But no worries as the film is excellent from the word ‘Go’. Koi Mil Gaya dealt with a developmentally disabled young man whose life changes when an extra-terrestrial with magical power descends on Earth and changes his life for the better. Hence, the film got a pan Indian acceptance. The special effects were decent for that era and correctly used. And entertainment was there in abundance. The film was easy to understand despite dealing with aliens and UFOs. Thankfully, Koi Mil Gaya didn’t repeat the mistakes made by these films. The rest of them like Elaan, Wahan Ke Log, A Trip To Moon etc. Out of these, Mr X In Bombay and Mr India were probably the only two films that were memorable and successful, with the latter considered as a cult flick. Prior to Koi Mil Gaya, the sci-fi genre in Bollywood produced very few films. Also, it was the first step towards one of Bollywood and Indian Cinema’s most successful film franchise.ġ5 Years of Koi Mil Gaya: Analyzing the ‘jadoo’ of this film that proved that Hrithik Roshan is a superstar! After all, except the tacky VFX for today’s standards, the film looks as fresh, is made well and is one of the few sci-fi films of Bollywood and a rare film of this genre that got acceptance. But if seen with all fairness, even Koi Mil Gaya can be included in this category. In the second category, most moviegoers would list greats like Mughal-E-Azam, Mother India, Sholay, 3 Idiots, Baahubali etc. Then there are classics that remain as good later on as when they came out and are evergreen in the real sense of the term. Some films are considered classics at that time they release but over the years, they begin to seem dated.
