Kites
Produced by Rakesh Roshan and directed by Anurag Basu, `Kites' is a mega-budget venture worth Rs.150 crore in two versions - English and Hindi. It also stars Kabir Bedi and Kangana Ranaut along with the lead pair of Bollywood most attractive actor Hrithik and the Mexican bombshell Barbara Mori.
Shot in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Santa Fe, `Kites' is a compelling romantic saga that goes beyond barriers, boundaries and cultures. A love story about an Indian man's affair with a Latin woman and their predicament as they don't understand each other's language, `Kites' is about their thrilling journey filled with precious moments and unexpected betrayal.
The story starts in a harsh terrain of the Mexican desert where a mortally wounded man Jai (Hrtithik) is left to die in the heat of the scorching sun. Once a street smart, carefree young guy, he is now a wanted man.
As death looms, the only thing that keeps him alive is the quest to find the love of his life, Natasha (Barbara Mori) - a woman betrothed to another man. Jay and Natasha fell in love despite language and cultural barriers and embark on an action-packed adventure of love, dance and danger across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Mexico - an adventure that could kill them both, or bring them together forever.
The English version of the movie `Kites: The Remix' is presented and reworked by well known Hollywood director Brett Ratner, as per western sensibilities. However both are almost similar.
The Hindi version is a little over two hours (130 minutes) and the English version is one hour thirty minutes.
The Hindi version hits the screens on May 21. And the English version is slated for a May 28 release.
