Kites Review

Macho Man Hrithik –Mesmerizing Mexican Beauty Barbara and Tempting trailers...What else a movie needs to get great openings.And yes it did it, Kites grossed over 21 crore on its opening weekend thanks to pre-hype that was been created and whopping number of screens it is released .It stood second just behind 3 idiots in terms of opening weekend collections.Could it sustain its stand in long run..Let’s check out..?

Story: Jai (Hrithik) tries out all sorts to earn money and he even marries many illegal immigrant girls to fetch them green cards. As luck would have it, Gina (Kangana) daughter of an affluent casino owner falls for J. He pretends love with her to grab the share of riches. On the other hand, Natasha an illegal immigrant from Mexico does the same with Gina’s brother Tony. Accidentally Natasha was once married to J.

What happens when real love blossoms between these two crooks? Love of life on one side and lavish luxuries on the other? Which side they opt to? Is all the movie about.

Actors:

Hrithik is in exactly the role his fans want him to be in…He is dashing, He is damn hot .He has an excellent dance sequence in the movie to amuse us… And off course he has acted to the mark

Barbara Mori is fabulous... She is sexy, she is svelte and she is amazing. So many adjectives because she is not just the skin show but she is brilliant actress too.She has lived her role.

Kangana Ranaut is limited but she looked great. Kabir bedi as her father is good. Other among who got noticed are the actors who played Kangana’s brother, Hrithiks friend …did their part well.

Good Things first:

It’s the crackling chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara that solely works for the flick.

It’s an obvious surprise that two people who can’t speak out each other’s languages are in a bond. But they both are fantastic together and they truly made believe the happenings on screen look amusing.

And there are quite a few action sequences/chases to pump in adrenaline. I liked the one where Hrithik sets free the cars in the truck.

Then there are those tender romantic moments that touch the hearts. The Scene beside Lasvegas fountains, Bank robbery scene, following hotel scene and Rain dance sequence etc and etc

Hrithik’s dance moves with kangana are very good.

Captivating Cinematography made every scene look superb. Whether it is a Las Vegas Fountains…or some Mexican desert or the California highways…All looked bright

On the Flip side...

“Kites” which is over-hyped as an unconventional bollywood movie for global audience turns out to be just a run-out-of-mill flick.

Movie offers no novelty and is much predictable. The continuous chase-romance cycle becomes repetitive after a while.

Though the climax is apt and obvious, it makes you think whether the lead couple is foolish for not having expected the same.

May be more fun...more clever moves by the couple might have lead us to happy 'Dhoom' Climax!!

Final Verdict:

“Kites” is a movie of a kind “you hate it” or “you love it”…

If you visit the movie just for having glance of gorgeous couple…with least expectations…I am sure you will not be disappointed.

But if you had thought it is never before…You might not love it.

It’s one time watch for Hrithik and Barbara and for all those good points mentioned.

Rating:

3/5 ...Way better than many bollywood flicks
