Kites Movie Review: Kites Fly High

Kites, the most awaited movie this season rises above expectations. Anurag Basu had maintained many times that he has got all the leeway to make the movie his way and it shows. Much as it is a Hrithik Roshan movie, there are two other stars who shine throughout: actress Barbara Mori and the director Anurag Basu.

Technically speaking:
Anurag Basu shines in filming the poignant and romantic moments in the film. Kites is crisply edited by Avik Ali. Music by Rajesh Roshan is a winner with melodious ditties like ‘Dil Kyun Yeh Mera’, ‘Zindagi’ and the adrenalin gushing ‘Fire’. Cinematography by Ayananka Bose is awesome.

Performances in Kites: Barbara Mori has the spunk and the grace to grace Natasha’s role. You get the feeling that this woman does not act, she feels every moment and reacts. That is the magic of Barbara Mori. Kangna Ranaut has got a brief role but trust the girl to breathe fire in it. Kabir Bedi is convincing and Nick Brown does a darn good job as well. Mr Talent Hrithik Roshan rises above the script and in a role that is miles away from Jodhaa Akbar, shines like sunshine. He makes the Kites fly high, really high.

To Sum Up: Watch Kites for Hrithik-Barbara chemistry and Anurag Basu's fantastic direction
