An older Rohit befriends a young woman named Nisha (Preity Zinta) and they find Sanjay's computer and summon the aliens by accident.

Krishna follows Siddhant to his island lair, where a huge fight ensues between Krrish and the doctor's thugs.

Angered by Krishna's death, Rohit decides to bring Krrish back to life by using the device invented by him but sacrifices himself to absorb the high intensity of sunlight.

Krrish, unable to crush Kaal after brutally fighting with him, concludes that the latter could be demolished by melting his steel body.

He quickly adjusts the mirrors for reflection and points Rohit's device towards Kaal whose steel body melts finally.
