A first-of-its-kind science-fiction movie that ushered a new era in Indian cinema, Koi Mil Gaya today celebrates its 18th anniversary. Headlined by Hrithik Roshan, the big-ticket film proved to be one of the major turning points in the star’s career as he walked away with unanimously rave reviews for his nuanced performance in the film.
Essaying the role of a developmentally disabled boy who befriends Jadoo, an extraterrestrial being, Hrithik Roshan made a clean sweep at the award functions that year with Koi Mil Gaya becoming the most successful and talked-about film of 2003.
Interestingly, while Hrithik Roshan delivered a slate of hits prior to Koi Mil Gaya, but it was with this blockbuster that he broke the mould of being the Greek God that he is and stood out as a phenomenal performer too. Going the extra mile, the actor not only underwent a physical transformation but also got under the skin of his character at a time where rom-coms and out-and-out action entertainers were a trend.
Hrithik Roshan’s female fan following has been stupendous ever since his debut, however, with Koi Mil Gaya, the actor captured the hearts of the pan-Indian family audience and especially the kids who looked up to his character.
On this the film’s 18th anniversary, the superstar took to his social media and wished the character of Jaadoo a happy birthday.
In the caption, he wrote, “To the one who filled Rohit’s and personally my life with happiness & magic. He held Rohit’s hand, healed his scars and made him believe in miracles.
Jaadoo was merely 3 when he entered Rohit’s life . 18 years have passed by, he turns 21 today.
Sometimes , I wonder how he would look like today ! 🤔
What do you guys think ?
Happy birthday Jaadoo !
