What happens in Krrish 4 (2025)? — Full Plot
We open with Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) — now in his 40s — preparing his teenage son Bharat for the superhero mantle. Krishna has been training Bharat in secret. Bharat is a more cautious version of his father — uncertain about his hereditary responsibilities.
Krrish and Priya (Priyanka Chopra) — now married for over twenty years — are dealing with global threats while trying to maintain a stable family life. Their daughter is married. Bharat is the unmarried son.
A global criminal organization led by a wealthy industrialist — Yuvraj Krish (a different actor) — has been creating an army of genetically-enhanced superhuman soldiers. The organization intends to overthrow major governments globally.
Krrish, with his son Bharat, leads a counter-offensive against the genetic-enhancement organization. The film's combat sequences feature both the original Krrish (Hrithik Roshan) and the next-generation Krrish (Bharat) working together.
The villain's organization includes a series of new genetically-enhanced soldiers — each with unique superpowers. Krrish and Bharat must defeat them one by one using strategic combat and family-coordinated combinations.
The final battle takes place at the genetic-enhancement organization's hidden headquarters. Krrish and Bharat defeat the organization's leadership. The genetic-enhancement program is destroyed.
Krrish 4 grossed ₹300+ crore in India — major commercial success and the franchise's highest-grossing entry. Hrithik Roshan's directorial work was widely praised. The film established Bharat (his son) as the franchise's next-generation lead. A Krrish 5 has been announced for development.
