Kites * 1/2 (2010)


Two months of No movies .Tight schedules to keep, House shifting and I was left with no time for Blogging. Understandably change of activities but I was carving for a movie.Kites had bad reviews but I expected this movie for Gusty look of Hritik and trust on Anurag’s characters.Sadly this movie ended with nothing and absolutely nothing.

Kites is a story about J (What does J stand for ?? Even in passport its J ,So funny ) who falls in love with Linda .who is incidentally engaged with Tony the son of Bobby who owns the biggest casino in Los Vegas. Tony’s sister is madly in love with J and J is there for her money. At one point of time he couldn’t take up his thirst for money and goes behind the Girl .Things mess up and the duo escape from Los Vegas. Things were very good till this. Poetic, acceptable, Refreshing and all but it the second half had nothing to say and it just showed up the end with a unconvincing completion of work.

Kites fails badly for the incomplete work in the screenplay ,mainly in the second half.First half had fantastic move of incidents but what next is irritating and totally messed up. Should have been poetic but it looks so weird,The uncanny history of Spanish girl has no impact left on the story and even the J’s history of marrying women for Money.Anurag creates characters well,he has a good taste for glamour and seduction on screen ,he has not delivered with completion with Kites.The movie looks with a big hole on the screenplay and he has no idea what he was doing after J and Linda flees from Tony.

Hritik shows how hot he can look even with his dusty and untidy clothes.He has a role to play but there is nothing unique for the actor in this movie. I didn’t expect the Spanish beauty Barbara Mori to act so well.She can act very well,but these movies are totally not her place to prove her acting ( !!) skills.Kabir Bedi and Kangana has a very very small appearance .Overall there are no characters.Its all about the J and Linda but you got to search what is so desperate about them to be mad in love.I had no idea what Anurag is trying to prove with his take on Love. I wasn’t sure whether he was trying to justify Love is more than Money or Sacrificing is more than Love .Idiotically told last sequences has a very bad impact on the overall movie,Its totally unconvincing movie from the director and actor.


Even in a single frame I could not see the actor Hritik ,All I could see was the Model Hritik and apparently I couldnot understand why this movie took two years in making.Watch this movie at your own risk.
Rating :* 1/2
