    • Quotes

      Jay Ray: Kites... flying high in the sky... free... dancing in the wind... with no worries... like two lovers... they meet, they fight... .they embrace... they almost become one... but it is not the will of the kites that makes them dance; because someone else... always holds the strings...

    • Alternate versions
      Brett Ratner edited a version of the film known as "Kites: The Remix" for English speaking audiences. "The Remix" has a different soundtrack, incorporates less of Hrithik Roshan's voice-over narration, uses a few alternate takes of scenes, and is approximately 30 minutes shorter in length.

    Kites, fantastic
    It's a Hollywood bollywood combo, but great! Main Indian audience won't like it because 90% is English and Spanish. Hrithik was SuperB in the movie and Barbara 2. It's a movie that wont gain great box-office achievement in India, but will be appreciated by many Hollywood critics. Rakesh Roshan was great as a producer and Anurag is one of the best in Bollywood. Thumbs up to them! Also, the screenplay is wonderful... Never seen such a screenplay in a Bollywoodmovie besides Black. Kites is one of a cult movie among movies as Black, MariGold etc. Just go and watch! If you don't want a ordinary Bollywood movie. It's pasta not biryani.
