“Hrithik Roshanu0026#39;s movies have gained the stature of uncommon events as of late. His last release came when I was in my second year and now I am nearing my graduation. All said, this guy doesnu0026#39;t disappoint a bit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKites has a simple story with a fascinatingly beautiful soul. Two lovers and their strife for peace and bonding, when none understands the otheru0026#39;s language. Kudos to Anurag Basu for keeping this movie away from bollywood clichés and giving it a truly international treatment, unlike some other filmmakers out there who produce so called u0026#39;crossover cinemau0026#39; which turns out to be quite the converse. The length is crisp and though the second half couldu0026#39;ve been better, the amazing chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara keeps you riveted till the very end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn performances, Hrithik is quite the maverick at his cool conman turned lover act. Effortlessly oozing charisma, he has indeed kept upto his fansu0026#39; expectations. Barbara is a delight. Unlike other foreign models who come to India for the skin show and currently rule the roost so as to say, she is beautiful yet articulate throughout the movie. The supporting cast is able.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTechnically, this has to be one of the best movies I have seen. Rakesh Roshan as always has left no stone unturned to give kites an international look. The cinematography is awesome with quite a lot of camera work a-la Guy Ritchie genre movies. The background score is soothing like a gush of cool breeze, and especially the end is very well done. I might get a chance to catch the international version as well, and if I do, no probs with watching Kites again!”
