I wanna fly like KRRISH!

So KRRISH is playing at the Georgetown in town (has been for a week now and was actually premiered the day of its release at the local IMAX where Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience is supposed to be playing) and I really want to see it (even if I haven't seen Koi...Mil Gaya yet).

Ironically, since we've all heard the urban legends (or might have experienced personally) of children putting on towels and jumping off furniture or rooftops so they (or we as the case may be) can "fly like Superman," it seems that KRRISH can have the same effect. Ugh.
