    Koi... Mil Gaya (2003)

    🎥 Bollywood's E.T. Moment: Koi Mil Gaya & The Magic of Jadoo! 🚀 What happens when you mix E.T., Forrest Gump, Space Jam, and a Bollywood dance-off? You get Koi Mil Gaya—the most insane, heartwarming, and absolutely bonkers alien movie to ever come out of India. In this episode of Fear of Stairs: Desi Films Decoded, we dive deep into the 2003 classic where Hrithik Roshan plays a developmentally delayed man who befriends a blue alien named Jadoo. Oh, and did we mention Jadoo has the power to cure brain deficiencies AND give you a six-pack? Yeah, it's that kind of movie. Join us as we discuss: ✨ The questionable science behind Jadoo's magical healing powers. 🏀 The most ridiculous basketball game in cinematic history (spoiler: kids vs. adults, and the kids FLY). 🎭 Hrithik Roshan’s method acting—is it genius or just… a lot? 🌎 Why this movie was filmed in five different countries for absolutely no reason. 🤯 The mind-blowing realization that this movie is actually a prequel to Bollywood's first superhero franchise, Krrish. Whether you grew up loving Jadoo or you're just here for the chaos, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and some very serious debates about whether it's more ethical to date Hrithik’s character or Jadoo. (Yes, that conversation actually happened.) So grab your Bournvita, sit back, and hit play—because this is one intergalactic Bollywood ride you don’t want to miss! 👉 Like, subscribe, and leave us a 5-star review! If you roast us in the reviews, we’ll read it on air. 💀🔥
