Kites (Hindi)
Release Date:
May 20, 2010In the harsh terrain of the Mexican desert, a mortally wounded man is left for dead in the heat of the desert sun. This is J (Hrithik Roshan) - once a street smart, carefree, young guy and now a wanted man.
The only thing that keeps him alive is the quest to find the love of his life, Natasha (Barbara Mori). A woman, engaged to another man, but surely destined for J. A woman, who comes into his life like a bolt of lightning, and changes it forever.
'Kites' is a story of love that goes beyond barriers, boundaries and cultures. It is a story of passion that defies every rule, of a relationship that takes two lovers on a thrilling journey filled with precious moments and unexpected betrayal.
Movie has been over-hyped. Period. It is an unabashed attempt at making a cross-over and almost launching Hrithik into the realms of Hollywood. Releasing in over 2000 screens worldwide, you will be more than convinced that this movie is shot like a showcase portfolio for Hrithik's cross-over casting attempts. But does it work? Hell No. Not much. It does succeed in parts.
J is a young soul making his living in the sin city of Las Vegas by doing random errands, teaching dance moves and marrying illegal immigrant girls to provide them Green Card for thousand bucks each. One of the girls is Barbara Mori whom he meets again during his hookup with Kangana, a lass born into money while her crooked brother is all set to marry Barbara. What happens next? I could tell you, but I won't . In the name of whatever-is-there script, your imagination must not be aided.
