Plot
Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Nisha (Preity Zinta) are married and they have a child, Krishna. Rohit apparently dies in a lab accident in Singapore and Nisha also dies shortly after childbirth at the news of her husband's apparent death. The child Krishna starts growing up under the care of his grandmother (Rekha). As he is growing up, he discovers that he has inherited the superpowers that were transferred to his father by the alien Jadoo in the prequel Koi... Mil Gaya. The movie shows how Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) deals with his powers and saves the world from a megalomaniac scientist, Dr. Arya (Naseeruddin Shah).
As the head of a large information company based in Singapore, Dr. Arya had hired Rohit to build an advanced computer that could see the future, telling Rohit that it will be used to avoid disasters and improve mankind. The brilliant Rohit takes just two years to invent the future computer. When he discovers with its help that Dr. Arya will betray him, Rohit destroys the computer. Dr. Arya, however, is able to rebuild the computer after 20 years of work.
We discover in the beginning of the film that as a young child, Krishna is extremely intelligent and gifted; for example, he is able to draw beautiful portraits of his mother. He is brought before a committee which realizes his gifts, but his grandmother fears that the greedy world may exploit him as it did his father, and so the two move far away into a remote village near some mountains. Krrish spends his childhood there, playing with other children and racing with animals. However, he soons grows frustrated as he sees that all those his age are moving away to the city to greater and grander things and he becomes upset at his grandmother for making him stay in the village.
Krishna meets his love interest Priya (Priyanka Chopra) when she visits India from Singapore as a tourist with her best friend and others. After witnessing his superhuman abilities on the trip, she convinces him to travel to Singapore to showcase his abilities to the world. At first, she only wishes to use him for her career as as a publicist, as her and her friend's jobs are in jeopardy from their mean-spirited boss. She later grows feelings for him after witnessing his courage and selflessness when he rescues many children in a circus tent fire and is beaten by thugs while hiding his powers.
The hero Krrish as we know him is born during the circus fire when Krishna finds a mask on the ground and remembers his grandmother's instructions to never reveal his identity. He promptly rushes in to save several children who were not able to make it out of the blaze. He quickly creates a media sensation in the city, with children wearing costumes of him and people speculating as to his real identity.
Krishna befriends a local Singaporean young man Chris Lee soon after helping him to complete a street corner martial arts demonstration to raise money for his wheelchair-bound sister. Krishna later gives him his infamous mask so that his friend can gain enough money to help his sister.
Later in the film, we discover that Rohit is still alive and in suspended animation after 20 long years. The evil Dr. Arya, his former colleague, is aware that the computer can only have been activated by Rohit's heartbeat and eye scan. After having the machine completed, he plans on killing Rohit, but after seeing his own future death by Krrish on the computer, he goes looking for him to hunt him down. Unfortunately, Chris is shot dead by Dr. Arya who mistakens him for Krrish. After Krrish finds his friend dead, he becomes intent on getting revenge against Dr. Arya.
After arriving at Dr. Arya's base, Krrish bursts into the compound after disposing of many guards outside. Priya is also eventually taken captive but Krrish manages to rescue both Rohit and Priya after a dramatic battle where Dr. Arya is fatally impaled to death, exactly as the computer predicted. Dr. Arya's attempts to prevent his death led to the prediction coming true, thus completing a self-fulfilling prophecy. Along with with Rohit and Priya, Krishna returns to his village in India where Rohit's mother Sonia is reunited with her son after many years.

Trivia
 |
- Krrish has a plot in which a sequel can be made. Report said that sequel to Krrish will be also made in which Hrithik will be playing double-role.
- Krrish ending scenes shows space-ship, similar to Koi... Mil Gaya. [citation needed]
- Amrita Rao and Aishwarya Rai were also considered for the role of Priya, but director Rakesh Roshan changed his mind after seeing Priyanka Chopra perform in a special screening of the film Aitraaz [citation needed]
- The movie was previously titled was Koi ... Tumsa Nahin - a song in the movie is still titled this way.
- Krrish has become a [1]B-school case study.
- Hrithik Roshan went through 45 days of extensive martial arts training for this movie - his trainer was Siu-Tung Ching.
- Hrithik Roshan had a near-fatal accident shooting for a scene in this movie after a supporting wire snapped during filming, but escaped unharmed after landing on a tent shelter [citation needed]
- Almost 60% of Krrish was shot in Singapore [citation needed].
- For the role, Hrithik gained 6kg weight and grew his hair to play his character [citation needed]
- During an action sequence in the circus, Hrithik burnt his hair and pulled his muscle, but continued shooting [citation needed]
- The alien Jaddoo- from the prequel Koi... Mil Gaya- does not appear in this movie.
- Strangely, although Jaddoo gave Rohit his powers back at the end of Koi... Mil Gaya, in Krrish Rohit's personality- despite his genius and his intelligence- is still somewhat like that of a child's.
- Krrish's personality is like Rohit's personality was when Jaddoo's powers made him mature.
- Krrish is the second movie in which Hrithik Roshan plays a double role (the first film was Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, in which Roshan played the character of Rohit and of Raj Chopra).
- As for the unusual spelling of the title, the two R's instead of one is credited to Niraj Mancchanda who suggested this name as it has a good numerological equation [2].
- Krrish was dubbed in Tamil and Telugu under the same name and released simultaneously as the Hindi one did.
- Krrish is one of the highest-grossing movies of 2006 in India [3].
- One of the promotional posters was inspired by the Daredevil poster. See below:
