I never watched this movie in theater reason being the negatives reviews this movie got specially from Indian audience......but i gathered the courage and saw it last week and boy am i surprised.......the movie is nothing like what the reviews say rather it never felt like i am watching a crappy and nonetheless an idiotic spicy Indian movie like for e.g this years hit "houseful"............i enjoyed the movie throughout and specially was impressed by the lead pairs acting talents i.e,Hrithik and Barbara.......i am aware of the fact that Hrithik used to suffer from stammering disorder but after lots of struggling and self control and determination he overcame his disability...........but i was not convinced as to his English speaking but when i saw this movie ,i dint felt like it was a theater like acting ...it looked natural.......and what a find Barbara Mori is !!!....i am sure she will do good in global cinemas.
Now coming to the plot...well to be honest it does not entertain anything which is new....the plot is as predictable as in any typical love story...........but that is not the concern here, the main emphasize is on the presentation.....the way it was presented, it totally outclassed any regular Bollywood short love stories.. but i am disappointed as Hrithik dancing is not used as to his par....the dance competition was poorly edited and the camera angles were all wrong......i was expecting a venture like it was done in "Step Up" franchisee.....but all in all it is a good watch.
As far as Indian audience is concerned .........it was predictable from the fact like good pictures such as "Swades" and "lakshya" failed to set a mark on box office then a movie like "Kites" certainly cant be a blockbuster keeping this fact in mind.
