Like Aamir Khan,Hrithik Roshan has become quite choosy about his films and his selection of roles and films have been exceptional since KOI MIL GAYA.When i watched KRRISH in 2006 i felt the movie was worth the wait followed by the scintillating DHOOM 2 and the magnum opus JODHA AKBAR.Now here comes KITES after 2 and half years.The question is whether the movie is worth the wait???The answer is a big no.
The movie disappoints big time with its awul writing,inconsistent screenplay,snail paced narration,soulless songs and lifeless characterisations.The only saving grace of the movie is Hrithik.He gave his everything to save the boat from sinking.The movie looks promising in the initial 15 mins with the first song being a big highlight(Hrithik's dance moves are amazing) loses the track completely after the arrival of the heroine.Climax is just unbearable
Its good to see Hrithik after a long gap and he as usual is splendid.But the characterisation given to him is inconsistent.Barbara Mori is alright.Kangana Ranauth is good in her miniscule role.Nicholas Brown is very good as the baddie.Kabir Bedi is fair.
Story and screenplay are the culprits.Direction is pretty ordinary.Music by Rajesh Roshan is not upto the mark.Cinematography by Ayanaka Bose is appealing.Art work is good esp. the casino set.Dialogues lack punch.Stunts are done well but are not placed well.Production values are lavish.
THE GOOD:Hrithik,Hrithik,Hrithik and Hrithik.
THE BAD:Too many to pen.
FINAL WORD:Kites went high in the air but topples the ground miserably.
RATING:**
PS:I would like to see Hrithik in a movie something on the lines of OKKADU.Hope he does its remake.
