"KITES flew over me!"

At last KITES flew over me! It was a pretty amazing evening. I went with expectations sky soaring yet with a skeptic mind. I wanted to watch the movie given any condition and therefore don't repent going for it. My feel with the movie was not met with.

Kites has done a pretty good job in promoting itself-from the promo trailer to the Acer & Reliance. It has mixed in itself the Hollywood romance and Bollywood feel with great action. That is where it lacked in perfection. The movie was a little too stretched. The first 30 minutes I was spellbound and it was the only time I was on the edge. It has some beautiful moments that will touch your heart and tickle your imagination but the story was not so powerful or rather it could have been made a little more captivating.

Barbara was perfect in her role. She is innocent, and soft. Hrithik also did well from physique to feel. However, more than half the movie I spent time on trying to figure things out and understand where the other Big characters  ' role in the story. Given the circumstances of the release and promotions I believe it will break even in the first week as the fans'/audience curiosity shall pay off. I guess the English version/Hollywood style may be slightly better as it will be made a standard 90 minutes movie. 

Overall, Kites could not meet my expectations. I may sound like a critic but I am just a "great lover of good movies".
