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...

User Reviews

dancer who marries woman for money, so they can get green card, falls in love with a woman who he cannot have

I have watched a movie with Hrithik Roshan

not some long time ago, and he is a brilliant actor and dancer.n this movie, 2 people fell in love, and although they were both in seek for money, they realize love is more important than everything else and the fight for each other.

Acting of both lead is so amazing, u can feel their emotion..he speaks Indian and English ,and she speaks Spanish, so thay cannot understand each other perfectly, but there is a language of love.

This movie is worth watching every minute, u will be amazed by beautiful cinematography and beautiful story, not like other Indian movies..

beautiful, beautiful movie...
