Kites – A Preview
Kites is slated to be the first true-blue international Bollywood projects. It is first movie in a very long while, that’s being made in both English and Hindi. The movie stars Superstar Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut and Mexican actress Barabara Mori. It’s being produced by Rakesh Roshan and directed by Anurag Basu.
The movie has been in news for quite some time. Its first look was revealed in the Cannes Film Festival, this year. Needless to say, it got a lot of international exposure during the festival.
Kites is a love story that goes beyond the barrier of nations and languages. It’s about two lovers one of whom is Indian (Hrithik) and the other one is Mexican. Hrithik plays J, a street smart guy who gets caught up in some crime and is now wanted by the cops. He flees from the police and heads off on a quest to find his love Natasha (played by Barbara Mori) who is now engaged to someone else. But J is sure that Natasha is destined to be his as she is the one person who came to his life and changed it forever. The moment the two lovers had seen each other, they knew that they were in love. But with some twists of luck, J has to run away and his destiny takes him on a journey that he never expected. J fights with the entire world for a woman who doesn’t even speak his language, nor does he understand hers.
The movie also stars Kangana Ranaut. Her role is not clear yet, but it can be speculated that she might make the third angle in the Hrithik-Barbara love triangle. Kites also has a number of international stars like Steven Michael Queszada, Nicholas Brown, Luce Rains, Ronald Hamilton, Dave Colon and Clark Sanchez.
The first look of the movie shows that Kites is going to be a very unique film as the locations, looks of the stars and story sound quite different from normal Hindi movies. It was slated to be released in December 2009, but for some reason, producer Rajesh Roshan postponed its release till February 5, 2010. The movie will have to compete with Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan in its second week (it releases on 12th February) and gets only a 1 week window to ensure that it makes its mark in the audience’s mind.
So, if you are a Hrithik fan and have been waiting for his next movie after Jodha Akbar, then mark your calendar for February 5th 2010 because that’s when Kites hits the theatres.
