Viewing Notes
We decided to walk over to catch a Hindi flick at Big Cinemas but sadly the film we wanted to see didn’t offer subtitles. So we went w/the other choice in Kites (2010), a film I had read good things about. Boy, were those opinions ever so wrong!
Kites goes down as possibly the worst Bollywood produced film I’ve seen. Now I admit to not having seen that many Bollywood films (maybe a few dozen or so, which ain’t a lot considering Bollywood typically outputs more films in a given year than Hollywood) but I’ve seen enough to know good & bad. And I have seen some bad Bollywood flicks. But this one really takes the proverbial cake.
It’s unfortunate b/c it could’ve been very good considering the cast. Hrithik Roshan is similar to Hugh Jackman in both appearance and charisma. Barbara Mori is a cross between Krista Allen & Monica Belluci (sizzling hot). But, wow, the story and sequences are terrible. Not surprised that Brett Ratner is connected to the recut domestic release. But I’m doubtful that the remix version will be any better. So disappointing. I’m angry this was as bad as it was.
