Kites – i did not get too many positive reviews on the movie, so i thought i might just give it a skip, but then tata sky decided to feature it on showcase and for 75 bucks, i got to watch it, cheaper than buying a DVD and much cheaper than watching it in the theater, plus its legal – so i can relax! 🙂
At first i thought, how would they make a Spanish woman talk hindi – and with her saying “Mey ullu ki patti hu” was hilarious, but very nicely done, i must comment.
Though the end was a bit depressing, I would have preferred an end where “they live happily ever after” but in this case they live in the happily ever after. The baddies play some crazy baddies. the best part was it was a short movie, and it did not seem to drag. no song dance in the meadows with hero and heroine running towards each other. Rain dance happened, but it was classy.
The cinematography was interesting, with some different lighting angles and shots. The car chase scenes were interesting, though copied from a wide selection of movies, the jumping onto the balloon and jumping off into the lake, as far as i remember – a first for a Desi flick.
None the less, a good entertainer. Kudos to the team.
