Kites is a movie straight out of the Bhansali school of film making. And, therefore, it is a hollow story of dumb but good looking people caught in most over the top situations and thereby expressing most artificial of emotions. And to top it all, it is boring. If you had liked Devdas or Black ( don't be ashamed, media had made it difficult for anyone to not like it), read no more and go and watch Kites. You'll love it.
For others, Kites is a kind of movie that directors, mistaking themselves for good film makers, decide to make when they are bored and half drunk in some party. “Let's make ourselves a nice, little classic”, they'd say. And because there is an abundance of free capital flowing around they always find some asshole to put money into their dreams. Or maybe in case of Kites it was the other way round. Well, guess what. Cut, copy and paste collages never make a Mona Lisa. Not even if you lace them with million dollar ribbons. So, please spare us the torture.
And a word or two for Hrithik. You might not have noticed but there are many more differences between a movie and a shirt commercial than just their running times. In a movie looking good is not enough. At least once in a while you actually have to act, dude. Anyways, if you think just wasting time between movies will make you Aamir Khan, well, think again. Maybe you need to go the Akshay Kumar way.
