Koi.. Mil Gaya to re-release in PVR INOX screens across 30 cities in India!
On the occasion of 20 years of Koi…Mil Gaya, the film is set to re-release in the cinemas from August 4th-August 10th!
Rakesh Roshan’s Koi…Mil Gaya, released in 2003, is India’s first Sci-fi film featuring an alien. The Sci-fi musical Koi…Mil Gaya and India’s first superhero film Krrish franchise also stands to be the first multi-genre story franchise that carries forward characters and storyline from its preceding parts. The film and its instalments received rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.
Koi…Mil Gaya starring Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta and Rekha emerged to be one of the most memorable films of the actors. Hrithik Roshan who played the role of a mentally challenged boy with the mind of a 9-year-old, redefined his acting prowess in the eyes of the audience with his superlative performance as Rohit Mehra.
Speaking about the impact of Koi…Mil Gaya Rakesh Roshan shares, “As a filmmaker it feels surreal to learn that your film is being loved even after 20 years. We set out to make Koi… Mil Gaya as a children’s film that would be enjoyed by the kids and also entertain their families. It was a risk I was taking as a filmmaker introducing a Sci-fi film with an alien, but the audience response was my biggest reward. It was satisfying and strengthened my belief as a film maker to keep making films on different genres, storylines and keep experimenting.
20 years later I keep seeing Koi… Mil Gaya being spoken about, whether it is social media creators recreating Rohit’s (Hrithik’s character in the film) dialogues or references to Jaadoo everytime there is an alleged Alien spotting around the world, a sonic boom event being heard from the sky or the various memes on ‘Om om om’ or ‘Dhoop’ across the internet. Knowing that it’s 20 years, and Koi… Mil Gaya is still etched in the audience’s mind is a very heartwarming feeling.”
