    In the harsh terrain of the Mexican desert, a mortally wounded man is left for dead in the heat of the desert sun. This is J. Once a street smart, carefree young guy. Now, a wanted man.

    • 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.

    a Greek god unleashed !!!!
    What a roller-coaster ride, m i impressed. Certainly. With all due apologies, i kept away from watching this flick for so long n m i surprised after seeing it. Guys leave all d rubbish people say but this certainly is if not perfect but still a well directed n picturised love story. Anurag basu is indeed a story teller, precisely a love story narrator n boy,he does his job well!!. Has been able to depict a beautiful but unusual romance b/w 2 persons who don't understand each other's language n there lies d best part. Both of them emote n enact their roles with aplomb. In fact they sizzle. Hrithik was a good actor, that was never in doubt but here he proves it all d more n delivers an emotional act. U seem to be involved with him whether he laughs,dances, fights or simply d best scene when he cries n 1 can c sorrow n despair in his body language,his face ,his eyes. Truly an actor who has given masterly performances in lakshya n guzaarish which bcoz of their different takes largely went unnoticed.. He delivers his dialogues in English with so much ease day 1may simply forget his native tongue. He is class apart,. Especially laudable is his dance at the. Beginning where he mesmerises n enthralls u with his effortless moves. n special mention of d gr8 work behind d camera capturing d moments in a quite beautiful manner, with a decent hummable background score. In all, this ain't any nonsense, u got to watch it n accept it for d performances, on screen persona of Hrithik,cinematography n direction. N as far as glitches go, give them a blind eye to enjoy n appreciate the good hard work... Hrithik the Greek god. .....
