Movie review: Kites

The story of 70's is rolled and packed with the glamour and appeal of Hrithik and Barbara.The boy giving his coat to the drenched girl shaking and shivering in rain but what is new is that the girl is taking out her sweater and bra to pay dollars . It was a long time since we saw a hero, a heroine and a villain and chase & run stories but Kites could not manage to fly high with this simple idea.
To make an exotic entry for the mexican in the bollywood the director makes her up as a mermaid. It looks Hrithik is struck with her on the first sight but a minute later a new flashback tells you that they are already married. The two birds fall in love and elope leaving the millionaire fiancee estranged on the gun point.All this happens in Vegas with shimmering lights and shining glasses but does not remain there.The two crosses the mexican borders to get married again. Chasing and running continues till a futile end.
The performances are okay.Kangana fits as always best in the hyper-crazy role. Salim-sulaiman background music is below standards with Rajesh Roshan's romantic themes. Anurag Basu is not able to use the fine actors, sizzling girls and expensive locations to create any magic with the dull story. Save your money for buying melons this summer.
