Kites is such a disappointment

Ah, Kites.. first I dont know why is this name ... except that I got to see some kites flying as the movie began, there was no co-relation with the movie story line..

two, this movie is such a bore .. unless u just recently got in love and have 'filmy' notions about romance, u wud find for most part, this movie a complete dumb ! Characters played by Barbara (Linda in movie) and Hrithik (J in movie) fall in love for no obvious reason .. and no, its not love at first sight or something of DDLJ types, the guys just fall in so called 'love' .. and then they keep fighting the world to keep together their love..  some of the action scenes look so childish.. remember all those 10 cars chasing your car and u making them fall over each other types.. or the ones where gun shots are fired and u wud escape unhurt .. oh, let me mention comedy too.. theres just one scene which tries to make u laugh.. where Linda playing a Spanish girl trying to speak Hindi with 'mein ullu ki pathi hun'...  again one of the ideas picked up from some old movie..

three, things that u wud probably like.. dance is good.. songs are too.. US and Mexico or wherever its shot, the scenic beauty is awesome... Barbara's smile looks good and so does Hrithik's toned body ....

To sum it up, I guess the story line has taken its toll on the movie and taken its sheen away...The entire movie looks like a collection of few short stories picked up from old movies with predictable love, action, comedy scenes .. Its like selling a product in market with nice packaging, good advt. for promotion, discount to traders and all but the product doesn't do what its supposed to. My rating for this movie would be 1.5 out of 5 of which 0.5 is just for Barbara ! :-)

  7. Well, I kinda disagree.. There is no "reason" to fall in love... the guy has many reasons to stay with Kangna but he still runs away with Linda.. n the scenes where Linda visits her family are so good.. The basic theme "love is beyond words" fits very well.. but yes, the movie could ve been better..
    and plz plz, out of those 1.5 points, give Hritik some credit too...
