critics consensus
Thoroughly overwrought in true Bollywood fashion, Kites is deeply flawed -- and too effervescently charming to resist. Read critic reviews

Jan 24, 2014Lemme just say that the leads are portrayed as being so blindingly and stereotypically attractive, that they just put me off. It is very stylish I suppose, but where's the substance? That being said, I was mildly entertained here. It was over the top of course, and I expect that with Bollywood, but the love story behind it just didn't pull me in as others have done. Too many cliches and unrealistic stuff happening here. I just didn't see the "effervescent charm" here RT claimed. I think there are way better Bollywood films out there.Wildaly M Super Reviewer

Jul 10, 2010Watching this Indian movie Kites, reminds of only one thing, this was like a Bond movie, only in the Indian version.Mostly I am not into Indian movies, but Kites was different it brought a new breeze, the plot maybe usual and cliche and the story was quite melancholic but not excessive.The performances were good and the chemistry perfect. Hrithik Roshan could have been better in some scenes,and Barbara was GORGEOUS and her performance was okay. The director did a great job filming this out India"s conception. There they want some monkey dances and some nonsense romance, with opposition from parents and happy ending. That's why I liked Kites, I think it will take some more years, but they will grow out of it and start making good movies.Daisy M Super Reviewer

Jun 15, 2010The storyline is quite plain & simple, & is served so. The execution is so lame that you'd feel as if you're watching some ordinary love story. I'd rather re-watch Koyla which resembled the plot quite a lot. I can understand if one person had overlooked this matter of hardly existent & barely appealing plot plus the way of telling it. But how come Hrithik, Rakesh Roshan & Anurag Basu, all 3 of them happened to okay this? It surprises me that Rakesh Roshan chose this project as Hrithik's vehicle to present before international audience. But what surprises me even more is the positive response it got from known international (okay, read "Hollywood" if you want to) critics!!! What did they enjoy in this movie? Okay, it was visually great, but that's it. Talking about performances, Hrithik's expressions tend to get repetitious after a point, especially when he's with Barbara. Barbara is the best of the lot. She pulls off her part quite well, and has a pleasant screen presence. Kangana is hardly there. Unlike many, I didn't find Nicholas great either. It's truly disappointing that one of the most awaited films of the year in Bollywood turned out to be a disastrous experience.familiar s Super Reviewer

Jun 03, 2010Really enjoyed this one. Beautifully shot, a classic Bonnie & Clyde story with many unique aspects and changes that make it exciting and uniwue as a whole, and an incredible chemistry between the two main characters that I haven't seen in a romantic film for quite sometime. See this in theatres if you can and don't pussy out and watch The Remix version, watch how it was originally intended to be shown.ZACHO D Super Reviewer
