Kites Review !! Kites Can't Fly

There's KFCC strike today in Bangalore which has stalled the screening of the much awaited movie Kites. But I was lucky enough to sneak through the morning show. Had heard lot about Kites over the years and obviously the expectations were humongous. And how did I like it? I read a comment on it in the net. 'Kite without Tail and Kites without Tale will never soar high'

True, this movie doesn't have a story at all. Characters are so cliched. Script is weak. In the entire movie there could hardly be 4-6 lines of Hindi dialogues. It looked like Rakesh Roshan's own movie Koyla, but I would say Koyla was much better. The action sequences look so boring and immature if you have watched Hollywood action.

I am disappointed. To rub salt into my wounds, Barbara hasn't showed enough skin either ;-) lol.
Good thing about the movie is, its beautiful locales. and of course Hrithik Roshan. Beefed up, fit and fantastic Hrithik looks a Greek God. He acts very well. Unlike K3G where his emotions looked artificial, here his eyes emote with such ease. But he is wasted in an average movie.
Chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara is just awesome. Couple of songs too cool. All the negative characters are crap. Even Hrithik's friend has acted ordinarily.

All in all, it's not a paisa wasool. You can watch it if you are a Hrithik fan. Rating? 2 out of 5
