Professor Mehra (Rakesh Roshan) has established contact with
extraterrestrials on his home computer plus radio equipment. But when he
tells a panel of scientists about his discovery, they just scoff at him.
Mehra gets proof of his discovery though when he drives home with his
pregnant wife Sonia (Rekha) and out of nothing, an UFO appears above them
... which distracts Mehra so much that he crashes his car. Somehow, his
wife gets out, but he dies in the ensueing explosion. And as if that
wasn't bad enough, their son Rohit (Hritik Roshan) is diagnosed with a
brain damage resulting from the crash, and will forever remain mentally
challenged ... so despite of being in his early twens, he is still just in
seventh grade and all his friends are kids.
Somehow though, Rohit still manages to make friends with Nisha (Preity
Zinta), a girl his age, and the two even become a couple, much to the
dismay of handsome bully Raj (Rajat Bedi), who thought her to be his girl,
and who now seizes every opportunity to teach Rohit a lesson.
One day, Rohit and Nisha discover Rohit's dad's computer, and since
Rohit always wanted to learn about computers, they try it out ... and soon
establish contact to aliens - and before long an UFO is sighted over the
city - much to the dismay of Rohit's mom, who makes aliens responsible for
all her (and her son's) misfortunes.
The UFO, it turns out, has really landed near the city, and they have
been taking samples of earth vegetation, but when leaving they have
forgotten on of the crew, Jadoo, who soon makes contact with Rohit, and
Rohit hides him, with only himself, Nisha and Rohit's kid friends knowing
about the visitor.
One day mama finds out, and she is shocked at first and wants to toss
Jadoo out, but then Jadoo gives Rohit a super brain and extra strength (as
well as other things like dancing and basektball skills), and mom gows
soft on the alien.
Raj is angry about how much time Nisha spends with Rohit, the town
idiot, that he announces that he will marry Nisha without even asking her
- and Nisha is understandably mad, since she has no desire to marry Raj
...
But by now, Rohit has become something like a local superman, and he
pays back Raj all the injustices he has done to him in kind, like giving
him (and his gang) a few sound beatings, showing him who's the boss on the
dancefloor and even defeating him at basketball.
Meanwhile though, the gouvernment has found out about the whole UFO
affair, and that a little alien might have been left behind, and soon
enough, overambitious police inspector Khan (Mukesh Rishi) is on Jadoo's
trail. Upon learning this, Rohit figures it would be best to contact
Jadoo's mothership again and arrange a pick-up, even if that means he
would once more lose his super-intelligence and super-strength.
Many chases ensue, until Rohit and Nisha can arrange for Jadoo to be
picked up again ... and Nisha realizes she is in love with Rohit,
super-brain or idiot. But somehow it seems, some of the powers that Jadoo
gave him have remained with Rohit ...
Basically, this is just a piece of kitsch, quite obviously inspired by
Steven Spielberg's early 1980's trasher ET - if you don't remember
anymore, this is the film that gave us Drew Barrymore when she was still a
little child, and which was mainly a film aimed exclusively at 3 to 10
year olds which still became a phenomenal success with audience of all
ages ... but then, I'll never quite understand the 1980's, even if I lived
through them. To Koi ... Mil Gaya's defense: It is not quite as bad
or as cheesy as Mr Spielberg's atrocity, and at least it doesn't have all
those awful kid characters - Hritik Roshan is actually quite good in this
one, and Preity Zinta is pretty, to say the least -, but that doesn't make
the film really good, either.
Allegedly, this was the first science fiction movie produced in India -
and judging by it, maybe sci-fi is just not Bollywood's forte.
