There is much to enjoy in this unapologetic attempt to create a unique Indian superhero flick.

Anil Sinanan
Time Out
The silly, square and charming Bollywood superhero picture Krrish 3 measures up pretty well, provided you bear in mind that it's more of a kids' movie than its U.S. counterparts.

David Chute
Variety
Superheroes have been around in Hindi cinema for decades, but huge technology jumps have made Krrish 3 the slickest of them all, special effects-wise. The rest of it is marred by tackiness.

Shubhra Gupta
The Indian Express
Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan deserves a round of applause for giving us a homegrown superhero. Krrish 3 is ambitious and exciting. Sadly, it's also derivative, clumsy, convoluted and far too long.

Anupama Chopra
Hindustan Times
The movie is devoid of that one secret ingredient that makes audiences love superhero films: It just isn't cool.

Lisa Tsering
Hollywood Reporter
Hrithik hams his way through the film, especially in the role of the father, complete with peeling pancake make-up and that now-familiar, irritating way of speaking.

Namrata Joshi
Outlook
To be clear, it's not an altogether awful movie. The film bounces happily within the safe, sometimes stupid confines of generic Bollywood tropes.

Sujay Kumar
The Daily Beast
Krrish 3 could have been salvaged if the story had been a little less convoluted, but there are too many unnecessary complications and sub-plots.

Hrithik is truly the stuff superheroes are made of.

The Times of India
Each scene has you hooked and it moves seamlessly at a brisk pace.

Raedita Tandan
Filmfare
It passes muster because of the consistently high quality of its CGI and the undeniable power of a known franchise.

Saibal Chatterjee
NDTV
Director Rakesh Roshan distinctly veers away from the dark ennui of recent Hollywood superhero films and opts instead for a film of good but gentle fun.

Audience Reviews for Defender

Nov 09, 2013

While it's another leap for Indian cinema considering the special effects, the movie hardly offers anything more than that. Mutants are introduced in a shoddy way. Seems like much more attention has been given to special effects than the script. It's just another superhero flick, with mutants thrown in. Even the songs are not pleasing to ears this time. The flick just falls short of expectations in almost every aspect. Apparently, for me. Lots of others were whistling and applauding often while I hung around for some worthy moments. 1/10 for managing to..........
