Kites (2010)

Simply Perfect

just watch it!

best movie i've ever seen.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

What a roller-coaster ride, m i impressed. Certainly. With all due apologies, i kept away from watching this flick for so long n m i surprised after seeing it. Guys leave all d rubbish people say but this certainly is if not perfect but still a well directed n picturised love story. Anurag basu is indeed a story teller, precisely a love story narrator n boy,he does his job well!!. Has been able to depict a beautiful but unusual romance b/w 2 persons who don't understand each other's language n there lies d best part. Both of them emote n enact their roles with aplomb. In fact they sizzle. Hrithik was a good actor, that was never in doubt but here he proves it all d more n delivers an emotional act. U seem to be involved with him whether he laughs,dances, fights or simply d best scene when he cries n 1 can c sorrow n despair in his body language,his face ,his eyes. Truly an actor who has given masterly performances in lakshya n guzaarish which bcoz of their different takes largely went unnoticed.. He delivers his dialogues in English with so much ease day 1may simply forget his native tongue. He is class apart,. Especially laudable is his dance at the. Beginning where he mesmerises n enthralls u with his effortless moves. n special mention of d gr8 work behind d camera capturing d moments in a quite beautiful manner, with a decent hummable background score. In all, this ain't any nonsense, u got to watch it n accept it for d performances, on screen persona of Hrithik,cinematography n direction. N as far as glitches go, give them a blind eye to enjoy n appreciate the good hard work... Hrithik the Greek god. .....

OK that man is gorgeous, Hrithik, and so is Barbara Mori, and that is about where the movie ends. First of all, I am quite familiar with the soundtrack from this film, and most of it was missing from this version, which is too bad, because the music is the best part about this movie. Secondly, it is not possible to walk from Mexico to Las Vegas. There is a border fence and guards. Additionally, it is 275 miles from Tijuana to Las Vegas, and, unless you are an American citizen, you would not be allowed to just cross the Mex/Am border and walk away. Thirdly, there is a scene where the actors end up in a jungle outside of Vegas, there is NO JUNGLE near Las Vegas, it is in the desert! There, in alleged jungle, they apparently have sex, but there isn't even a make out scene to at least hint at this, and then after she tells him to turn around while she gets dressed and accuses him of seducing her? Well now that makes a lot of sense. Furthermore, you would most likely not walk away from smashing and blowing up twenty cop cars and murdering all the officers in America. And furthermore, what human being in America would be allowed to kill a bunch of people and walk away, all in the name of getting his beautiful girlfriend back? RIDICULOUS. Barbaras dress would not still be white and perfect after all they went through, either..... Now, if you, like me, know the music and the music videos better than the film, you will wonder where this "lets sell all our jewels and run away together" stuff, and the saris, and the Indian wedding and India, went? There is NO India in this film, except for a couple of actors. So, as a crossover movie, it is a disaster. You want a good crossover movie, watch Slumdog Millionaire. Sorry what a huge disappointment.

Thanks to my friend's advice I didn't go to theater but rather rented a CD.In short, this movie is real bore!!!. Dhoom 2 was fun if you had switched your brains off, but this is worse. Bollywood movies are watched for good masala, action, dances and comedy. This movie disappoints in all those aspects.The plot- where two money seeking people fake love to get married in rich family, fall in love with each other- is a good one. But the movie is poorly directed, very slow and dragging and extremely boring. You will feel what exactly the director is trying to tell you!!!(Spoiler): In fact when Hrithik jumps from the hill in the last scene you feel happy- At last the film got over!!! :)

I've watched hundreds of Indian Movies, honestly most of them too disappointing when it comes to action and visual effect, Kites bring new breeze, the plot maybe usual and classic ( people who fell in love would do anything ) but since this is an Indian version the story is quite melancholy but not excessive i'm enjoying this movie very much, to describe the movie in one word so kites is "beautiful" If you are a huge fan of some nut thrilling/action movie like Saw,Rambo,Texas chainsaw and so many kind of them then you should go far away from this movie, but if you love something like romantic but combined with action then this movie is a good choice for your weekend entertainment
