Behind the Movie Kites: Kites is a perfect example from Roshan family which showcases how openings of a movie could be harvested, if your team has an efficient PRO. From the day one of shoot, ‘Kites’ has been a sensation all around the world, may it be for Hrithik’s daring adventures or Barabra Mori’s passionate hot scenes. With all the hype and rumors, ‘Kites’ have hit the ground from sky today. How was ‘Kites’ flight? Let us see…


In the Movie Kites: Jay (Hrithik Roshan), an Indian and Natasha (Barbara Mori), a Spanish are two independently driven kites who share the same thoughts of mind. They want to grow big and raise to new heights of fame. For this to happen, if Jay has selected a short cut to get into love with Jina (Kangana Ranaut), Natasha too follows the same way of marrying Tony (Nick Brown). Jina and Tony are son and daughter of biggest, powerful and cruel casino owner in Las Vegas Mr. Bob (Kabir Bedi). Soon the engagement of these two couples take place.

Although Jay and Natasha knew each other from long time, now their heart is beating with a new sync and all of the sudden these two kites starts to get together. But, Tony and Bob doesn’t let the things to happen that smooth. Jay and Natasha dare to run away from Los Angeles and are chased by Police and Tony. After too many twists and turns narrated using half a dozen flash back episodes, movie reaches climax stage. Final out put is that Jay, Natasha, Tony…all three die. (Climax is revaled here not to loose your thrill but to save your money).

Values and Out of the Movie Kites:  Kites is a big gamble of star cast, heavy production cost, lavishly picturized action episodes…and you have everything needed to define a ‘BIG BUDGET FILM.’ The main things which it lack are sensible plot, strong script and superlative direction. Soul of this movie as per director Anurag Basu, Producer Rakesh Roshan and Music director Rajesh Roshan is true love and the hurdles it normally faces. But, this two hour flight with ‘Kites’ was horrible and lives you in agony.

Normally it’s the regular friends and well wishers help the love birds and even loose their lives for love…we see the same technic here too. Villains are not only cruel but assert to every technic to either catch or kill them…we see the same here too. Between comes songs and fights getting attached themsleves to the main string for a delightful flight..we see the same here too, but not delightful.

Biggest conflict in the movie is the relation between two main characters and the way they change their mind set from money can buy anything to true love is more than money. The path which director has selected in establishing it was not strong and convincing. Neither do our hero knew Spanish nor our heroine knew English or Hindi. Still Anurag Basu, the clever man tried to maintain emotional sincerity in many scenes.

Love stories should normally be treated with enough cautions else they become boring and predictable. ‘Kites’ fall into this general category of movies with nothing speciality. Yet we find general viewers liking Hrithik and Barbara as they looked fabulous and shouldered the roles very well. Their chemistry onscreen is super hot but the passionate love making scenes which people expected never turned up on the screen. (Front benchers were going on with filthy language everytime Hrithik and Barbara left them disappointed).

Chase sequences are goose bumping and the exotic locales of Mexican desert, Las Vegas streets, Snow white topography was like a treat to the eyes and full marks to Cinematographer Ayananka Bose. ‘Zindagi…’ song is instantly connected to audience, thanks to Rajesh Roshan’s good work. 

If Hrithik, Barabra, Music, cinematography are treated positives for ‘Kites’ to fly; it was sluggish narration, boring and overtly pulled scenes, old story line, too many spanish and English dialogues are enough to kill. May be liked by International audience but for domestic audience hype generated was not justified.
