Pluskylang Great Film overall

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Mridul Mahapatra Through the last 5 years, KITES has been slammed for lots of reason,which are baseless to me, because once you see the film, you will love it..A story of love, tragedy, excitement, sorrow, it had all.. Why still people can't get it, is not understandable.Okay I am not blaming them, to me a film which have good story, good acting and x-factor are good film. KITES had it all. It is simply awesome.I will not mention the story here,as either you all know it, or you are not interested. Hrithik was superb. Strong performance from him. Barbara was equally impressive. Rest casts did justice to their role. Good location and good music.A must-watch.

chartierf I have discovered Bollywood movies 2 years ago and I have seen plenty of them (almost quitting western movies !) So I have been used to very long movies, sometimes too long.Reading the reviews, it seems one half have liked Kites, the other half have disliked it. I clearly belong to the first group ! I have been able to see the "Remix" version (by Brett Ratner who is not Mr Nobody) and it is the first time we can see a movie in a Bollywood and a Hollywood version.The Hollywood version is shorter and has canceled few useless "crime" scenes but on contrary has added some intimate scenes at the end of the movie (Linda speaking of her treasury box when she was a child) that comfort me in the feeling the movie is too short : 2 hours and 15 minutes would have been correct compared to Bollywood standard and would have given more density to the love story between Jay and Linda/Natasha.It's a pity (for those who like the movie naturally) and I hope once there will be an extended Bollywood version

CupcakeLovesMuffin This movie gets four stars, which it deserves. One point for the interesting and vibrant locations, one point for the songs and background music, one for the action scenes, and one for Hrithik Roshan. The introduction of the story is the usual, as you would expect. Set in America, Jay (Hrithik Roshan) is here to make some money, but fails each time he tries. Enter Gina (Kangana Ranaut) who says she loves him, but he turns her down. What he doesn't know is that shes one of the richest people in the city. Stunned at his luck, he goes back and asks her to be his dance partner for the upcoming competition. She agrees, and they become closer. Now, when Gina's dad meets Jay, he asks him to attend his son Tony's engagement, and that is where the story makes some progress. He meets his wife that he married for green card.. Natasha (Barbara Mori) or known as Linda. From there on, its pretty much predictable. The love, the action , everything looks as if its straight out of a Hollywoood movie. Barbara Mori does pretty well, Hrithik Roshan acts well but is just alright, though his dance moves are impressive. Kangana Ranaut is a huge surprise.The PROBLEM with this movie is not the story, but with the way the story is portrayed on screen. If they focused on one thing rather than three, the movie would have worked. There are three main conflicts. Gina and Jay, Tony and Natasha, and of course, their love story. If only one of these was focused on, it might have worked. The ending, is also pathetic. You think to yourself "what the hell is going on" As after you walk out of the movie theater, you realize that ending made no sense at all.Worth watching once.

sree kiran a nice story to tell. but narration failed in parts. dialogs were not audible enough. the lead actors performed for the potential. the movie stressed upon all elements like story , action , revenge , tragedy , etc. but the problem was none was used for full potential. the character of lead actor was too cheap. bank robbery , car chases , building assault , train escape , etc was all good with filled action. the songs were mild and touching with beautiful scenarios. the first number was spectacular and lead actor:s moves were mind blowing. a simple love story with cop chases and silence numbers. not a treat for Indian public. but definitely a watch. plus points: 1. songs2. actionminus points: 1. story which was blank and stale2. climax3. no comedy at all. except some ullu Ki Patti"4. no hot touches from actors for the public appreciation5. cat and dog chase as usual most common nowadays. final verdict: just above average . can take a chance to go.
