Product Description

Hot, sexy, exotic, and wild are the only words to describe this "lovers-on-the-lam blast of pure pulp escapism." (The New York Times) Indian superstar Hrithic Roshan stars as J, a Las Vegas hustler engaged to the daughter of the city's most powerful and dangerous casino owner. But all bets are off when he falls in love with the ravishing Natasha (Barbara Mori), an illegal immigrant engaged to J's jealous and violent future brother-in-law. When their illicit romance is discovered, J and Natasha flee for the border with the police and relentless hired killers on their trail. Pulse-pounding action and sensational musical numbers propel this passionate love story to its stunning conclusion. This special edition contains the "deliriously entertaining" (Variety) full-length version that became the first Bollywood movie to make the American box office Top Ten, and Kites: The Remix, the edgier and sexier English language version produced by director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men: The Last Stand).

5.0 out of 5 stars Hrithik Roshan, AMAZING ACTOR....come discover about him!!!

Loved this movie...Hrithik Roshan is such an awesome actor. I watched the original "Kites" (Bollywood version) and then the "Kites the Remix" (condensed U.S. version). I prefer the longer Bollywood version...much more to the storyline &acting, versus the more action packed Remix version...but both version are good. Check out Hrithik Roshan on Youtube or on the internet for the list of all of his films..he has some fantastic work out there. A few of his films are: Jodha Akbar, Zindagi Na Dobera Mi (not sure of the exact title but a VERY good romance, comedy) Dhoom2 (he dances), Agneepath (has some violence but it's necessary for the tale of love), Lakshya, Guzaarish. On YOUTUBE (HE DANCES!!!) watch "Come Fall In Love" and his first tv interviews on "Rendezvous with Simi Garawal" (first interview he did with his parents, the 2nd part of that one he did alone) on Youtube. SUCH A NICE MAN IN REAL LIFE!!! You'll be amazed at how good he is. I think he should be the next James Bond!! He has a fanclub on Facebook, Hrithikrules.com, and he is on Facebook as "Hrithik Roshan" and he and Hrithikrules.com are both on twitter. Have fun discovering the amazing actor, Hrithik Roshan! Watch Farhan Akhtar's films also!!

First of all, let me say the Story is nothing outstanding, but what really makes this movie an amazing ride is the execution and the acting. The lead actos, Hrithik Roshan (Bollywood Superstar) and Barbara Mori (Mexican Superstar) do an Amazing job acting in this movie. They are both very good looking, and their acting is flaw less. Barbara Mori's acting is truly outstanding, and she stands out for sure. I am very surprised Hollywood hasn't picked up on her yet!! Bollywood Director Anurag Basu does a masterful job keeping us laughing, crying, enjoying the movie with his twist and turns. This is truly a movie where Hollywood meets Bollywood, and the result is an out and out entertainer. If you are reading this, and trying to decide if you want to watch this or not, watch the movie, you won't regret it.

I also really enjoyed the scene where the two kidnap an innocent man and his take him for a ride. That actor did a very good job in such a short span, he made me laugh out loud!! His acting with the two superstars was outstanding, and definitely one of the highlights of the movie. Very funny scene!!!

In my opinion, a must watch movie that will Entertain you for sure!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Roshan

I rented this because it has Hrithik Roshan in it, period! I love watching him dance and move about on the dance floor but OMG was he ever so marvelous in this movie. When he dances, I see the "pop" culture influence but I also see Greg Hines, Christopher Walken and Baryshnikov, all wrapped up in Hrithik Roshan. Watch him dance in one of the dream sequences in Guzaarish. This man is a triple threat!

Kites was action packed and the story was well told. I have watched Guzaarish since seeing Kites and both movies left me emotionally drained and gut wrenched! This man can act, he's not just "a pretty face." I remember Barbara Mori from watching Rubi and she responded well as Linda to Hrithik's Jay. She was perfect for this role. Their chemistry was quite good. Superb, absolutely superb movie...

Kites

I bought this movie as I loved the Hindi version and wanted to experience an English version. (I don't speak Hindi, but thanks to the movies I'm learning a few words).

I enjoyed this movie as one of Hrithik Roshan's newer films, especially as I was able to understand the dialogue without having to read it, but I think it lost a bit in the remix.

Hrithik plays the part of J a young guy who falls in love with the wrong woman Linda/Natasha played by Barbara Mori. It has a sad ending, so be warned, but it is still a beautiful love story and one of my favourites.

The story is basically the same (30 minutes cut with a bit extra included), but the sound track is completely different to the Hindi (Original) version. That was a big loss to me. I love the music Rajesh Roshan put to the original movie - I also bought that soundtrack. The car chase (should I say truck chase) scene is not quite the same without Tum Bhi Ho Wohi as the background tune.

Hrithik can dance and this was a big part of the attraction of this movie for me. The part where J takes up with Gina and they compete in a dance contest is cut (just a very small part of their dance is kept) and I felt that this is a big loss to the movie. The part that is cut also shows how J is accepted into the family.

I agree with the statement on the back of the DVD cover "hot, sexy, exotic and wild" but I was quite happy with the more modest Hindi version. It is not as explicit as some Hollywood movies (thank goodness), I prefer movies that leave things up to your imagination!

This is the 2 DVD set from Amazon and it has both the Hollywood Remix and the Bollywood version packaged in it. Unfortunately, there are no Special Features on either disc.

The original Hindi movie has special features - Song Making and Making of the Film with a Hindi Version and an International Version - very entertaining.

Would I watch it again? Probably, (I have seen it twice already), but I prefer the music and action of the original Hindi version. Friends who have seen it agree that the original is better, but it is still a great movie.

My advice is: watch both and make up your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST SEE, LOVE THE PASSION PORTRAYED

LOVE THE MOVIE AND THE TWO ACTORS! I am not an Indian, so I'm not trying to praise the movie just because . The story line is great and easy to follow. The two main characters are not only attractive to look at but their acting was superb and believable. I can feel the passion and chemistry/love between Hrithik Rochan and Barbara Mori. Two people who fell in love with each other, and find ways to communicate despite the language barriers and the complications, which includes the relentless pursuit by the mafia boss's son hot on their trail. The musical/dance scene alone is reason enough to buy this DVD! LOVE Indian movies!
