Expectation : Big..Nah Huge.. Cz All the Big names in industry are there like Hrithik, Anurag Basu, Rakesh Roshan.. If I talk about the story of this movie, it is one of the most basic stories in typical hindi movies. In the sense a poor guy loving one of the most poweful person in the city’s gonna-be-wife. And taking her away and those rich people chasing the couple…etc..etc.. Apart from that basic story, I think this movie has everything to get the attraction of people. But it is sad to say that it cudn’t give the expectation we are asking from the biggest people in the industry. That is mainly because the thin storyline. Apart from the story I would like to discuss about some mistakes Anurag did in the movie. The most mismatching thing in this movie is Hrithik’s beard. At one place, wounded J (Hrithik) has been put in a train carriage by Natasha (Barbara). At that point, just very small beard has grown on J’s face. But at the start of the movie, it shows the train has come to it’s destination and some people found unconscious J inside the train carriage. When they find J, he has a huge growth of his his beard. For a normal person, to grow beard like this will take atleast 2 or 3 weeks. But as per the story J is a wounded man. So it is not practical to think that this train has travelled for 2 or 3 weeks. If it is so, J has to be dead. Another place is when J is shot by Natasha’s ex-BF, at that very time he is not inside the cab. But Natasha is inside the cab in the driving seat. Just next shot is Natasha’s exBF gonna start chasing J & Nathsha. J has not got a chance to get inside the cab yet. In the next shot, Nathsha is racing her cab and start driving while J is in the outside of the cab. But surprisingly, in the next shot J is inside the cab. So those are places I have seen where it shows the lack of awareness of the director. Now the good part. This movie is the second most surprisingly pieces-mixed movie I have ever seen. The pieces of the movie is jumbled in a very intelligent manner, where the viewer get shocked because the viewer is thinking some other thing will be happened after this. So it is really unpredictable.(The best pieces-mixed movie I have ever seen is Don). After watching the scene just before the interval, You will think “ahh ok it will be happening like this”. But after watching the scene just after the interval you will think “OMG! I was totally wrong”!! There are plenty of places where viewr get shocked to see what really happens except from the viewer prediction. That is the mixing-pieces is the most amazing USP of this movie. Hrithik’s and Barbara’s chemistry is excellent. Kangana is ok for her guest appearance. Hrithik’s dances will take you to another world.. So at last, even though Kites doesn’t meet expectations, this is a must watch movie because of the amazing experience you will get by the way Anurag has mixed the story. I will give 7.5/10 for Kites!  

This movie is so so movie.I did not like this movie so much.

Well this film really tries to achieve hollywoodness and it does well till the ending. which really lets you down. i think a movie maker must realise that the viewer walks out with the ending in their mind not the story so if the end is good so is the movie...if its a fail so is the movie.

Finally, after a long time, i finally got to see touching and good love story. The final good love story movie was mohabbatein back in 2000. Kites was brilliant movie. I don't have word to discribe how good the movie was. The biggest plus point of the movie was hrithik rohsan and his acting. excellent chemistry between hrithik and barbara, music, story, well directed, cinemaphotography, dance......I am waiting for the DVD now. 

A Story about two lovers!!! I think movie was ok..!! It was not... So... Good.. But as a Hrithik…  

A Story about two lovers!!! I think movie was ok..!! It was not... So... Good.. But as a Hrithik fan.. I truly liked the movie.. One time watch movie. I really wished.. after seeing the movie that, Kangana was in Barbara's role. I think.. She must be suiting really well.. I didn't feel that, kangana had some thing great in the film to do. Hrithik was at his best in acting.. He truly owned the film by his acting.. He did a superb job!! 

KITES is ok-ok not horrible movie

I know I'm late and by this time, you have either seen the movie or have made up your mind not to watch it. Also, by now trade pundits are calculating & re-calculating BO figures to put together a verdict. But in some parts of the globe, unfazed fans of Hrithik Roshan are queuing up for repeat viewing of the movie. Jr. Roshan, bleeding, distraught, sandy, yet managing to look drool-worthy yummylicious is the stuff we fans live for. As much as I (too!) was tempted, the movie aficionado in me wanted more. 2.5 yrs in the making, big names, big budget, bigger hype and colossal expectations. Regrettably, Kites just doesn't go that high, although this Anurag Basu's directorial extravaganza had all the potential. So why didn't it make the cut? Read further... Plot: Though there isn't much to write here - Our hero J (Joseph? jimmy? johnny?), who marries girls to get them a green card in barter for hard cash, is engaged to Gina(Kangana), daughter of rich casino owner, Bob(Kabir Bedi). Gina's brother Tony(Nick Brown) is engaged to Natasha/Linda(Mori). Cut to few scenes & a dance routine later, J and Natasha meet, sparks fly, passionate glances stolen à la Romeo-Juliet, and bam! we have a love square formed. Anyone who has seen Woody Allen's 'Match Point' will catch up with me faster. Others, don't fret, you haven't missed anything majorly. OK, back to our movie - J and Linda cant keep their eyes off each other, want to stay together forever and decide to elope. Predictable Bolly movie you ask? Uh-huh! Twist - they don't speak each others language Spanish/English. Twist to the twisted tale = J and Linda are sort-of already married (remember J's green card wives!). Anyhoo, J and Linda ditch their fiances (they were marrying the rich kids for the money anyways, no luv-shuv), grab the money and head for greener pastures. While the villains pull all chains to track them, our international Bunty-Babli gasp, chuckle, jump off hot air balloons, dive into seas, rob a bank, indulge in car chases as if taking on an adventurous sport, sing-dance, take language lessons, and give their trackers the royal slip. Amidst all the mayhem that follows, they sneak in and out of jungle, share a kiss or two, much at the expense of the audience.Tony finally catches up with them. What happens next? It's for me to know and you to find out. Kites is an earnestly made film. It had everything going for it. Luscious pairing, captivating visuals, stimulating cinematography and some very interesting scenes make up a strong base. But then everything falls apart. When Hrithik says "Pakao, Pakao", you are coaxed to believe that he almost knows what he is talking about. Barbara and Hrithik are in my opinion the most alluring pairing till date. They compliment each other and Rakesh Roshan's choice in Mori is justified. Barbara's endearing smile matches Hrithik's intensity and in all means the lead pair try to make Kites fly. But the writers forgot that with all the chemistry and perfect scenes, there was a story to be taken forward. Kangana, every director's dream girl for psychotic character, is misused. She came and went just like that and no-one seemed upset. Kabir Bedi plays his role with the 'been-there-done-that' sophistication. Nick Brown is so-so, knows what he's doing. Kites is a clear case of 'too many cooks spoil the dish'. With the track records that Basu and Roshan's have, you pray for something rather extraordinary but you have to settle for something much much less. In continuation to my earlier post (read here), the movie is as confused as I am about what it wants to be. Fingers crossed, you hope that something jumps out and rationalizes your time's worth, but hardly a scene stays with you. (yeah mayb Hrithik's glances for some of you!) All in all, Kites is a watch in comparison to the movies released off late. Go for it once, since its got a piece of something for everyone. Kaipoche! anyone??

When I first saw the preview of Kites, I thought ok they are trying to present this film as an international film just because there is a Spanish actor as the lead, but I was wrong. Kites is an international film because its story is about love and love is universal. This story is one where anyone can feel a connection. It is definite worth a watch in the theater. Kites has a lot to offer and one should go in with an open mind, so that you can feel the emotions and feelings that are being presented to you. Hrithik Roshan was magnificent. After two years we finally get to see him back on the big screen and let me tell you he doesn’t let down. He has grown so much since his first film, and he has carved his name into the industry and into our hearts. He really is one of the best actors to come out of the industry and it is a joy to see him become the person he has wanted to be: HIMSELF. Barbara Mori, I thought was great. Many people probably think well she is not speaking Hindi, but let me tell you she does not let down and stands her ground well. This film was about feelings, emotions, and love, and needed great acting and there was great acting from its leading actor and actor. I loved the unique pairing and think Bollywood needs to do more of that. Yes, I love the traditional pairs every couple of years, but not every film. The industry needs to be fresh and needs to keep developing new ideas. Some pairs will work and some will not, but what is life without some risks? The only complaint I have is why what Kangna Ranaut doing in this film? I saw her for what seemed like 2 minutes. Come one, she is not just a pretty face and at such a young age, she has made a mark in this industry: she is a great actor. She was wasted and not needed in this film, though the table scene where she is staring at her food was like YES there is the Kangna we all love, but then that lasted for like 30 seconds. What I do hope is to see Hrithik and Kangna paired opposite in the future in an entire film. There is definitely something to work with there. I really did not feel the movie was boring. It was refreshing and the music paired very well with the film. Kites works and people should not go into the film expecting a typical Hindi romance because it is not one. Kites is unique and will appeal to all individuals because you leave the film feeling for the characters. You laugh when they laugh and you cry when they cry. Kites touches you. I think it is a must watch. I have been saying for a long time that I wanted to see the industry do unique and different things and Kites offered me something different and unique, so I took a chance, despite overall negative reviews, and I am glad I listened to myself. I love this industry and will always support it. (Kites has been receiving positive feedback in the U.S. It has been feature on the Today Show (5/28/10).)
