Actually contrary to the general opinion i quite liked the movie .....its quite different more hollywooodish ...and like a drama more than a love story .
HR was fab ..and the role was made for him ..
I am a neutral when it comes to HR and i thoroughly liked the movie and his performance ...probably this one will go down as my HR fav.
And this makes me wonder why do i like movies which most people tend to dislike ???? I loved Saawariya and generally no one liked it and now this one .......
So my Rating : 4/5

'Kites' cracks North American box office top 10

CHICAGO - Bollywood action-romance Kites, starring Indian actor Hrithik Roshan and Mexican actress Barbara Mori, took the No. 10 spot at the North American box office during its opening weekend, making it the first Bollywood film ever to debut in the top 10 here.


Kites, which released last Friday, opened at No. 5 at the UK box office, and in India, it had the second-biggest opening day ever (behind 3 Idiots, the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, which released last December).

Kites Has 30 Crore Weekend


Monday 24th May 2010 15.30 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network



Kites collected 30 crore its first weekend which is a bit lower than the early estimate of 30.50-31 crore nett.



This puts the weekend business of the film in the Love Aaj Kal range if we take out paid previews.



The business on Sunday was more than 10% lower than Friday business which means little chance of good weekday business. Kites will struggle to gross around 10 crore nett over the weekdays.

Kites box office collection Kites rating high in US, UK

Posted by Swati Mahaseth 24/05/2010


Kites movie review: The latest flick by Hrithik Roshan soars high not only in Indian skies but in US and UK too. The film is among the top ten US releases soaring comfortably at number ten with Kites box office collection of over 1 million dollars in juts 3 days. Not only did average film goer like the film but it became critics' favorite also with the most number of reviews written about the film. The trilingual film is released by Reliance Big Pictures and produced by Rakesh Roshan. The Kites movie has opened at number 5 slot in the UK box office. Kites rating has been between average and very good so far. Overall its a must watch movie.

Kites story, plot and Kites star cast: Kites, the movie promises to be a fresh and welcoming change after a sad number of flops the Indian film industry recently had. With Hrithik in the lead what else can we expect? It is probably the best film received at the box office after 3 Idiots and there are a number of reasons for the same. First and foremost the star cast, yes Hrithik is no doubt a crowd magnet with audience waiting for his new releases all the time and this time it is like double treat with the star paired opposite a Mexican stunner Barbara Mori. She has everything, the oomph, drop dead gorgeous looks and an amazing charm quite refreshing for the audience. The movie is a mix of three languages with Hrithik speaking mostly Hindi and English and Barbara speaking Spanish.

In Kites music and song, Kites has one more surprise package with Hrithik as a singer. The actor has sung the title song of Kites, so that way he makes his debut as a singer with Kites. The film has an international appeal not only because of the star cast but because of the fact that it has been released in over 60 countries in over 2300 screens world wide. Another reason that makes Kites, a must watch is director Anurag Basu's stupendous work as a director in giving his best to make an ordinary love story look just too extraordinary. The film has everything from bank robbery, amazing locales and beautiful cinematography right from shooting the Mexican desert to casino in Las Vegas.

Kites release in overseas market: Kites will be released for American audiences in an edited version which will be shorter in length will less of songs and dance and more of action and car crashes. This version will be called, Kites: The Remix and will be edited by Brett Ratner. It seems Bret Ratner has all the praise for actor Hrithik Roshan, as he said, "He (Hrithik) came to see my version of the movie, flew in from India…….he got immersed in the story. He's a great actor. I think he can work in American movies."

In post release review, Kites movie rated as a must watch which has everything from action, car crash, love, passion, romance, beautiful lead actors and a fresh new appeal.
