I have watched a movie with Hrithik Roshan not some long time ago, and he is a brilliant actor and dancer.n this movie, 2 people fell in love, and although they were both in seek for money, they realize love is more important than everything else and the fight for each other.Acting of both lead is so amazing, u can feel their emotion..he speaks Indian and English ,and she speaks Spanish, so thay cannot understand each other perfectly, but there is a language of love.This movie is worth watching every minute, u will be amazed by beautiful cinematography and beautiful story, not like other Indian movies..beautiful, beautiful movie...

"Kites" is a bravely attempted film well worth watching for many unique elements. The occasionally mystifying failures of "Kites" fascinate, as much as its often noteworthy achievements.I wanted to like this film ... .The casting was good and performances excellent. The endlessly gifted Hrithik Roshan is, simply, the best actor of his generation. The mature and even compelling performance he delivers here as a grey character lifts "Kites" to another level. The Mexican costar I'd never heard of before, Barbara Mori, was alright. Kangana Ranaut was even better, as the rather sweet rich girl Mr Roshan's character targets to exploit. Kabir Bedi, as the girl's father whose casino ownership covers mob activities, was very good and could usefully have been given more story in better balance with Nicholas Brown, the brother who served as chief baddie. Special recognition is due Yuri Suri (general Bairam Khan to Mr Roshan's emperor, from "Jodhaa Akbar") for an outstanding performance in a small but critical role as the mobster family's chauffeur.Unfortunately the story – and direction – fail the performances.To understand why "Kites" disappointed at the box office, look no further than the weak ending. After two hours bonding with a film's protagonists and following their troubles an audience expects and has even earned some emotional payoff at the end. Whether positive or negative, the tone of the outcome should mesh with the overall tone of the story. But "Kites" in a sense cheats its audience: its set-up does not justify this particular end.The multiplicity of languages doesn't help. Subtitled English or Hindi dialogue is one thing, but when they start throwing in Spanish, too ... the resulting babel was confusing enough even for someone like me who's used to reading subtitles. What Indian audiences, many of them native speakers of languages other than Hindi perhaps, might have made of this three-language mess I can only imagine.I am not impressed by Anurag Basu's direction. So many of this film's basic story and communication problems could have been fixed simply by unfolding the story strictly from one point-of-view: Jay Ray (Mr Roshan), the central character, so that the audience understands – and where necessary, misunderstands – everything from that one perspective. But when Mr Basu repeatedly has Jay understanding one thing and the audience, through misleading subtitles, something else altogether, the story spins out of control and loses focus.There ARE some truly brilliant moments here. The shadow puppet sequence. The yellow van scene. The champagne-on-the-rooftop 'divorce'. The whole '3 months earlier' sequence introducing Jay's life in Las Vegas – performance, editing, cinematography, musical score – is fantastically effective to establish the character and set tone and mood, climaxing in the mindblowingly powerful 'Fire' – gods, can that man dance! – which leaves the audience totally primed to follow this character anywhere. But Mr Basu's direction is not able to sustain that same energy as the story progresses.I believe Mr Basu's greatest single failure, however, is not convincing us how, why, or even if Jay and Linda love each other. This is fatal, since the whole plot turns on it. When Mr Basu leaves his audience wondering if their love is only situational (i.e., we're-in-this-together-because-people-are-trying-to-kill-us), it undercuts the whole story. Despite the director's repeated and very visual emphasis on the physical perfection of his two stars – bare chest and bikini shots abound – he does not, for instance, have them react to or even much notice each other's character's physicality. And under Mr Basu's hand the misunderstandings and miscommunications between the two central characters, even when quite remarkably funny, come through much more strongly for the audience than anything seeming to draw the purported lovers together. What kind of 'love story' is it, if an audience reasonably has cause to doubt whether the couple could be happy together even if they do get together?Still, a bold and intriguing experiment, well worth watching.In Hollywood this story might have been pitched as "Saturday Night Fever" meets "Thelma and Louise" with narrative structure from "The Hangover". And it ALMOST works.The production values – cinematography, sound, musical score, visual design – of "Kites" are uniformly excellent. The action sequences are well-mounted, even expensively mounted. The outstanding, complex, and challenging performance by Mr Roshan is almost, by itself, enough to raise the film beyond the limitations of Mr Basu's flawed direction.There are great pieces within "Kites" ... even if those pieces do not, in the end, fit together as the same puzzle.

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 liked the movie... its a different love story from all other Bollywood movies.. cinematography is very good... stunts are decent..but a sad ending to the story.. Barbara Mori looked elegant n beautiful ... Hrithik was also good.. it is a simple love story..may be people expected a lot from the movie,thats why it became a flop.. it was a good experimental movie for the international audience and you can clearly see that it is made for international level..After watching this i understood one thing,we should not listen for critics anymore..its like this,without reading a book you will never know what is the content..so without watching a movie,don't judge it by others words..
