BollywoodHungama 3/5

On the whole, KITES has style, visuals and Hrithik Roshan as its trump cards, but its content leaves a lot to be desired. The film has evoked tremendous curiosity, which will translate into great numbers in its initial week. Read More

BehindWoods.com 2/5

Our heart didn't go out for the couple, the movie tried really hard, but somehow the connection was never made. And what was expected to be a thrill ride, just ended up being a normal ride with few good stopovers in the middle. Watch it for technicality and the chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara. Read More

ApunKaChoice.com 3/5

Foibles apart, it's the spirit of 'Kites' that wins you over. The ceaseless action, romance and drama unspooling at a pace that hardly gives you a moment for thought. Go, watch it. It's not a seminal work. But it's definitely fun while it lasts. Read More

SantaBanta.com 2/5

Music by Rajesh Roshan not only lacks the magic but also hampers the prospects of Kites being a slick thriller. As for Mr Basu, he has made a very average effort in Kites. Now it's time for him to accept the consequences like a man or as they'll tell it in Spanish - 'A lo hecho, pecho', Mr Basu. Read More

NDTV 3/5

The film doesn't become more than the sum of its parts because the second half is flat and in places, outright foolish. Still I recommend that you see Kites. It's far from brilliant or even fully satisfying but it's easily one of the better bollywood films I've seen this year. Read More

Sify.com 3/5

The songs with mostly melodious numbers, reflects this too. In keeping with the film's dual - personality, the love story is marked with chases (including an air - balloon scene), a thumping background score, and great action. Read More

Rediff.com 2/5

Mercifully, there are very few dances, perhaps an effort to convince international audiences that Kites is a serious film. But, truth be told, part of bollywood's appeal to Western audiences are the song - and - dance routines. Read More

IndiaTimes.com 2.5/5

With a metaphorical title, no lip - sync songs, crisp length, cross - country romance, subtitled (and not dubbed) Spanish lines and foreign premieres, Kites is certainly targeted more at the international market. But down at heart, it's intensely Indian. Read More

NowRunning.com 2.5/5

Kites, like almost all movies produced by Rakesh Roshan, is a combination of romance, action, comedy and a bit of thrill. But Kites disappoints mainly because of the lack of a proper storyline. Read More

PlanetBollywood.com 3.75/5

The screenplay provides just the right amount of surprises to keep the story fresh. The actors are each showcased in the right manner. The lack of the typical overly dramatic overdrawn scenes of emotion that are the staple of the usual Bollywood fare is a welcome change from the norm. Read More

Glamsham.com 3/5

Apart from Hrithik and Barbara, who makes the cut, Nick Brown puts in a power performance as the 'crazy' casino owner who will not spare anyone who crosses his path. Kangana as the psycho is perfect while Kabir Bedi is judiciously used. Read More

BharatStudent 2/5

The film comes in with a lot of hype but then it must be said that it doesn't live up to it. While the first half is the most boring, things change a bit in the second half but the climax is something which could get negative reactions. Read More

IndiaGlitz 2/5

'Kites' cuts its own strings by a weak story, zero chemistry, no melody, no romance, and tries to fly with the winds of hype, good but unconvincing stunts and a sensational Hrithik Roshan who has just missed a great opportunity to introduce himself pleasantly to Hollywood. What a waste. Read More

GreatAndhra.com 2/5

The film has scored on aspects like locations, action sequences, cinematography etc, it failed to work in script, screenplay, dialogues or editing. The entire pace of the film is slow and it must be said that the narrative was quite shallow. Read More
