Snapshot of the story
Kites is an average story revolving around two lead characters Jai (played by Hritik Roshan) and Natasha (played by Barbara Mori). The flick goes with the hero being a salsa teacher and always on the pry to earn money by crooked means. His luck turns around when the doors open with a student who is a daughter of millionaire starts to become fond of him. But he falls for her brother’s fiancée and both elope.
Movie Reviews and Ratings of Kites
Storyline
Jai (played by Hritik Roshan) lives in LA and earns his livelihood by teaching salsa classes and doesn’t mind getting extra bucks by any means possible. His luck comes knocking on the doors when his student Gina (played by Kangana Ranaut) falls in love with him and he comes to know that he is going to be a member of a millionaire family. While being in her house he meets Natasha (played by Barbara Mori), fiancée of Gina’s brother Tony (played by Nicolas Brown) and falls head over heals for her.
Jai and Natasha realize true love in their lives against the manipulative relationships they were maintaining till now. Both of them elope inviting the angst of Tony who wants them at any cost. The movie’s pace reduces instantly after this and it seems to be boring at some times. The movie then shows the romance between the two lovers and their randevous from place to place for survival and escaping from Tony and his men. Climax of the movie is not so cool and does not look convincing.
Final Thoughts
Not a very good movie but nevertheless a good one time watch. The movie is not able to engage the audience after such huge hype created during pre-release promotions. Performance wise all are good especially Barbara Mori and Hritik Roshan gets more credit as chemistry between both of them are incitingly sparkling. Despite being unfamiliar with each other’s language, they communicate through symbols and connect through momentary monosyllables establishing that love has no language. Barbara appears cute while speaking in broken English and radiates a stimulating smile that brightens up even the most mechanical scene.
Rating
Kites scores 6 out of 10 only because of good performance from Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori. Music of the movie is disappointing and so is direction. It was hard to understand why Rakesh Roshan did not direct the movie and asked Anurag Basu to direct Kites.

Farhan Akhtar Aims Big with: Lakshya
Storyline
Farhan Akhtar keeps reinvesting the ideal to fascinate the audience and especially young audience. After “Dil Chahta Hai” he comes with “Lakhya” with his signature style direction of story telling and some chart topper songs and choreographed by “Prabhu Deva”.
In the story Hrithik comes from rich family and after college he is confused what to in life as his father wants him to join family business like his elder brother. One fine day with his friend he fills the employment form of armed forces and gets the interview call. However his friend denies as he has taken in the MBA College. Hrithik has a girl friend Romi (Played by Preity Zinta) and both are dating each other from long time. Preity Zinta motivates him to go for it as this could be he is looking for but Hrithik’s entire family is against him specially his dad.
Against everyone, he goes to military academy but the tough training of army grills him a lot and decides to run out if the academy. This decision was not appreciated by his father and Preity Zinta and this becomes the point when there is crack in relationship with Preity Zinta. Hrithik went back to compete his training and get commissioned there and in the mean time extending his passion to his career Preity Zinta has become the Television Reporter.
Twist in the Tale
Priety Zinta goes to cover the war against Indian and Pakistan and come to know about Hrithik. This past of the movie has different emotions of romance, drama, action and patriotism. Second half of the movie has more of war scenes and touches lots of high moments. This is where their old love takes a new spring.
Conclusion
Story runs very slow and at time make you feel bore. Story runs on the straight note and has very few twists. Amitabha bachchan looks very nice if the small role as major of the army. Hrithik was very good and Priety look very beautiful as ever.
Rating
Story fails to make much impact on the audience and I will give it 7 out of 10 for some of the best dialog and songs by Javed Akhtar and to all the technical team which has to work in freezing condition of Kashmir and Ladakh.
