A hustler (Hrithik Roshan) goes on the run when he falls in love with the fiancee (Bárbara Mori) of a powerful man.

Critics Consensus

Thoroughly overwrought in true Bollywood fashion, Kites is deeply flawed -- and too effervescently charming to resist.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

After Life In A Metro, you would have thought [Anurag] Basu's considerable story-telling skills could have only have ratcheted up. But both for him, and for [Hrithik] Roshan, who comes out after three years, Kites is a good-looking disappointment.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

The technically accomplished result is cheesy, engaging but unmemorable 'time-pass'

The Hollywood Reporter

Roshan anchors the film with a solid, believable performance and a palpable chemistry with his co-star that will remind audiences just how hot a good Bollywood romance can be.

Sadly, it flounders even before it can take off and soar.

Behind The Lens

Power, passion, revenge, heartbreak, heartache, tragedy, joy, lust, and love. Let yourself soar with KITES and a love that knows no boundaries, no barriers, a love that is eternal.

Rated: 5/5

Instead of being moved by the story, I was thinking more about the many illogical plot points in the film.

Watched after 14 years and 2 months after it was released. I was obsessed with the songs since I was in 5th standard. Don't know why it took me so many years to watch this film for the first time. But it was worth watching the movie. Loved the roller coaster ride of joy, love, action, revenge, and tragedy. ❤️🥰

SPOILERS AHEAD, CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN WILL AND RISK While the film is okay the ending leaves some of the audience (like myself) disappointed.

A gut-wrenching saga that hits a low due to its somewhat broken buildup.
