In the summary,I mentioned that it's an amazing journey as I am fully internally related with this film and I know this film's every aspect in detail,It was my growing journey, as I grew up watching the same flick infinite times.Now its 2015 and the film is 12 years old.After the film the makers kept the film alive for almost 10 years as they gave us 2 more installments after this.The film is full of kindness of the main character that is Rohit Mehra who is mentally abnormal.He lost his father before his birth in an accident in which his pregnant mother was injured and due to the accident Rohit's brain was injured.He is a young guy in his twenties but still studying in a school,failing since many years.He stays with his widowed mother in a town named Kasauli in North India.He is very close to his friends who are kids studying with him.His friends know about his deficiencies and thus they help him every times.Hrithik Roshan who played the protagonist Rohit Mehra did an excellent job after which he swapped all awards for Best Actor in same year.While shooting this he was in late twenties and playing an mentally abnormal childish role was surely challenging.The role was not of a typical abnormal child,but of an innocent guy who don't have knowledge how to deal with advance yet cruel world.Overall the character delights us and immediately after a glimpse we would start believing the character even though he don't exists.The acting never goes up and down which keeps the character real and up to the mark.I as a reviewer I am damn sure this character melts everyone's heart except Satan hearted peoples.The Character Rohit eventually starts liking New Girl in city Nisha and he tries to impress her but he is constantly gets bullied by Raj and his companions.Raj and his family are family friends with Nisha's family since many years.In beginning due to some incidents Nisha hates Rohit thinking he looks innocent but is a bad guy inside eve teasing girls but later she knows truth of Rohit's disability. Later on she befriends Rohit and vice versa. Nisha is played by Priety Zinta and has not left any complains about the role. The main story focuses when Rohit and Nisha meets an alien in jungle whom they keep safe at Rohit's place as they know cops may kill him or can give him any harm for research purpose. Now Jadoo the alien transfers some of his energies and power to Rohit and things changes like anything. Now Rohit can do anything which peoples in his age can't do and all his disabilities are cured.Now there is a typical heroish Hrithik who completely impresses the world with his activities indicating his brilliance.But evil rises when the Cops get information that Rohit has hidden Jadoo the alien which results into a chaos around his house.Rohit never leaves his duty as a friend and he completely safeguards Jadoo which results into a sweet climax of the film.The film wins hearts in every scenes because of its excellent direction and all co ordination. It is directed by Rakesh Roshan.The director himself works very hard and makes the actors work which is proved by excellence of the film.Such excellence requires huge patience which is in the filmmakers.The supporting actors Rekha and Johny Lever done a great job.Veteran Actress Rekha did a memorable job here and the virtual motherhood of her wasn't virtual looking at all.She suited Hrithik Roshans mother in this film.Overall my review completely praised the film as it was totally praiseworthy.If you still haven't watched this watch it Asap.

Koi Mil Gaya is a nice film for the entire family, but mostly for children. Not much does it offer to adults. 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. To its credit, this is one of the only sci-fi films made in Hindi cinema, and it has succeeded as such. It benefits from great music, effective special effects, but above all, Hrithik Roshan's extraordinary performance as a mentally disabled young man. It also has lovely appearances from other actors, including Preity Zinta's light yet great portrayal of a modern young woman who learns to communicate with Hrithik's Rohit, and Rekha's moving act of his mother who is in a daily struggle with her son's defect. But these ladies succeed because they are two actresses of great screen presence. Otherwise the film was clearly made by Rakesh Roshan for his son. I frankly get a bit angered that all three of his films starring his son did not give any notable scope to other actors but were mainly created to promote Hrithik. The film is considered to be revolutionary, while clearly it is not. We had Mr India in 1987 which was in my view better at its time. Koi Mil Gaya is similar to E.T, but frankly pales in comparison. This Jaadoo, while a sweet creature, is plastic. BTW, he can't act (just kidding!). Anyway, the film is worth watching for its innovative concept and light, endearingly childish script.

This movie is a real party killer. I didn't know anything about it more than that it is an Indian sci-fi movie. Since I enjoy Indian movies I thought that I might be worth seeing, so when I had a bunch of friends invited last week we were watching this movie. And it was not a success:This movie is even slower than the average Indian movie. Nothing - that is really nothing - happens the first 90 minutes of the movie. Although the movie is quite cute, its just way too slow. A total party killer. 8 of 10 guests had left within the first third of the movie, which means that I cannot give it a higher rating than 3. And then I've been nice...Tip of the day: try this movie if you have a sleeping disorder. It'll definitely make you fall asleep!
