Kites would be a splendid case study on 'a perfect take off for an eventual crash landing'. After watching the movie, it would not be wrong to say, that the fate of the movie has been sealed with the movie being nowhere close to what was expected out of it.
Anurag Basu tries each bit to make the movie look good and feel good for the audience, which he does, but the magic does not really work as compared to his previous movies. He had one of the best looking and best performing actors with him, but could not really pull it off with the same panache which he did say for Life In a Metro. Their is simply no grip in the final product of the movie, which the story surely promised to have. Only the music/songs grab you for a while, but even they seem to become ordinary as you sit and watch the non-gripping story.
In terms of performances, Hrithik Roshan was at his normal best. It is only the story which falters, and really does not leave much scope for the actors who have all given their best. Barbara Mori has done exceptionally well, and suits the role perfectly. Kangana Ranaut does not have much to do, but does well in whatever she had. The rest of the cast are also good, but none could really spell magic due to the weak script.
I will keep the review really short, as there is not much to really say other than the above. Kites, is a typical bollywood movie, but mainly spoken in English. It is just another movie where it could have been 'the movie of the year'. I will also tag it as one of the most abrupt movies I have ever watched.... Watch the movie for Hrithik if you are a die-hard fan, otherwise you deserve to give it a miss. Once you watch it, you would know why I call it 'Abrupt'.
