Review of Kites (2010) by Ahmed A — 21 May 2010

Finally A Refreshingly Well-made, Honest Movie!!!

As Indian audience, who watches both Indian as well as International movies, Kites has made us Proud! Hrithik and Barbara are endearing with their honest performance! Without the over dramatization, they have managed to touch the hearts of the audiences! First time have we seen an Indian movie in the Romance genre with such fantastic international standards! Indian film makers have finally created a technically high quality film, which is capable to competing internationally. This is Not another one of those run-off the mill Indian love movies with lovey-dovey songs every 15 minutes & over dramatic emotions from actors.

Hrithik, with the humbleness of his being, is one actor that every Indian loves, and has the looks, glamour and capacity to go international! Barbara has surprised with her acting skills. You will be surprised with this never-seen-before (by Indians) style of film making. Kites is a refreshing change from the other romance movies created in India. You don't want to miss it! A MUST WATCH for anyone who likes Hrithik; or likes romantic movies; and especially anyone who is fed up of having to put up with un-realistic and over-dramatic song-dance mediocre love stories Indian film directors have passed as art over the years -- here is one serious attempt at the art of film-making, and it shines through! Hats off to Basu (Director) and the Roshans.
