Hrithik’s Kites Get Cut By The Indian Audience

Though Hrithik impressed the foreign audience with his latest film Kites he lost the show with the Indian audience. The actor seems to be completely disappointed with the poor performance of his much awaited and rumored film Kites which was supposed to catch the Indian audience by a storm. Hrithik and Barbara Moori flew their Kites so high in the sky that the Indian audience failed to see the Kites. But the breeze of film promoting was so wild that people were expecting to see something like Avatar happening in India. The movie is studded with Salsa jewels.

It is not very uncommon to see a movie like Kites failing in India. The movie is definitely not for the Indian audience. It was said that Rakesh Roshan had told the directors and producers of Hrithik’s films to wait and release their films after the release of Kite’s which according to him would restore Hrithik’s lost image in the Industry after the realease of the Ashutosh Gowariker film Jodha Akbar. But, Jodha Akbar banged many awards for Hrithik as well as Ashutosh. Rakesh Roshan had huge expectations from Kites.

Let us see why Kites fails to be accepted by the Indians:

·         Salsa dance is new to the Indian audience. Indians do not show any interest in such dances.

·         Multilingual film. With Spanish, Hindi and English the movie just makes itself more unclear to the Indian audience. Most of the audience do not understand English (leave Spanish).

·         A foreign actress being exposed (this throws the film in the adult category) which again does not suit the Indian audience.

·         A film about love and money. Indians do not love to make money. Instead they earn to make love. The idea itself seems absurd in a country where incarnations like Sri Rama are adored a lot.

·         The movie and its actors do not have any set of ethics. In fact the storyline makes it seem that the Hero and Heroine are nothing but villains.

·         The characters do all illegal things and finally end up being dead.

All these things are more than enough to make a film like Kites fail to mark its presence in India. The collection of the movie has been very poor. The Roshans would feel lucky if the invested amount of the producers returns back. The film is said to be built at a rate of around 120crore INR. The boxoffice is showing no spikes in the performance of the movie ever since its release. Seems that the Kites Hero will have to wait for the release of Krish2 to regain his lost image of the heartthrob.

But, do not forget that a wounded lions strikes much harder than he normally does in a wrestle. The Roshan’s will do everything it takes to steal the top slots again with their upcoming movies. We just have to wait and watch what is going to come next from the Roshan banners. At present Kites has failed to strike its chord among the Indian audience.
