In 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.

I would say it’s not a great film but far worse films have become blockbusters in recent years. Barbara Mori is hot (I don’t care how the male actors look) and can act unlike most of the western imports out here. HR also shoulders the responsibility of carrying the whole film as one would expect him to do in a home production. Anurag Basu uses a similar narrative like Gangster, he starts with the doom, and then there are flashbacks and I think this format works fine. The film is paced decently as the songs and sentimental interludes are kept short and a runtime of 130 mins is an achievement for big budget Bollywood production. It is shot well with high production values. I believe the Ratner cut minus the songs (and plus you know what) would be more enjoyable.
