Kites is a 2010 Indian romantic action thriller film directed by Anurag Basu, with the story written and produced by Rakesh Roshan, starring Hrithik Roshan, Brbara Mori, Kangana Ranaut, and Kabir Bedi.[2]

To help promote the film, mini "music videos" were released online, each about one minute long and featuring a song from the soundtrack set against scenes from the film.[15] The clothing brand Provogue, which features Hrithik Roshan as its brand ambassador, launched a Kites clothing range.[15] A photo shoot regarding the campaign was shot in the Maldives, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Brbara Mori.[16]

While the Hindi version of Kites was released on 21 May 2010 in India, the international version was released one week later, on 28 May 2010. The film was scheduled to be released in over 60 countries.[2]

On its first weekend in the North America, the film opened in 208 theaters and ranked No. 10 in the box office, grossing $958,673.[7] It was the first Bollywood movie to reach the weekend top ten, though My Name is Khan had a larger first-weekend North American gross, with $1.9 million at 120 theaters, reaching #13.[7] Kites debuted at No. 10 in the UK, with an opening of 174,000 from 70 screens.[30] Overall, the film was rated as a flop by Box Office India.[8]

The film fared very poorly in the United Kingdom and earned 9,110 on 31 screens, with the per-screen average working out to 294.[31] In the first week that both films were out together in the United States, Kites: The Remix did only one tenth of the business that the original Kites did, and less than half on a per-screen basis.[32] Box Office Mojo shows that while the original Kites film was able to become the first ever original Bollywood created film to score in the "Top Ten" of the overall Hollywood Box office tally on its opening weekend, the Kites: The Remix hybrid version only managed to place 51st on its first weekend.[32][33][34]

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has voted to propose a ban of the manufacture, distribution, and sale of aluminized polyester film kites. The Commission had previously found that these products present a substantial product hazard. The proposed ban would apply to any kite containing 10 inches or more of this type of metalized material, including dragon, box and fighter kites.

The Commission's action was prompted by reports of incidents involving these kites, including two incidents occurring in San Francisco in 1975. An aluminized polyester film kite had become entangled in a power line. It caused two 12,000 volt conductors to break and fall on a car. The live conductors burned a hole in the rear seat of the car and burn marks were found on the tires and wheels.

In the other incident, an aluminized polyester film kite which had apparently severed its string, crossed three high voltage conductors, causing them to break and fall. This resulted in a power surge into nearby residences. This surge blew a fuse box off the wall, exploded an electric meter and light fixture and burned out a refrigerator compressor.

No injuries or deaths related to the aluminized polyester film kites were reported in these incidents nor have any been reported since that time. However, the Commission believes that the kites present a potential threat of serious injury or death.

The Commission does not believe that there are many affected kites presently on the market or in consumers' hands, but the action is intended to prevent such products from being marketed in the future.

The proposed ban will be published shortly in the Federal Register for a 60-day comment period. The proposed effective date is 30 days after the final regulation is published in the Federal Register. When issued as a final regulation, the ban will require manufacturers to repurchase the banned kites.

A poetic tribute to a New Delhi family that has devoted its life to rescuing black kites that fall wounded from the sky, All That Breathes was honored Friday as the winner of the World Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

"I think this is going to be some sort of a breakthrough ... a first milestone," says Reliance MediaWorks CEO Anil Arjun, explaining that "Kites" is the first time Bollywood has so thoroughly edited a film to appeal to Western viewers.

But while last year's Oscar-winner "Slumdog Millionaire" stoked optimism that Indian films can find a place with global audiences, not every movie strikes Western fancies: 2009's "Chandni Chowk to China," also an attempted hybrid US-India release, tanked.

Mature movie markets, most notably Hollywood, have long figured out the formula to capitalize on a film in as many countries as possible, says John Lee, dean of the Mumbai-based Whistling Woods International Institute for Film, Television, Animation and Media Arts, and author of "The Producer's Handbook."

India is one of the few markets that Hollywood has failed to dominate, with only 4 percent market share here, according to a recent report (pdf) from KPMG financial advisory services. And even though the Indian film industry has produced 72,000 feature films, Bollywood hasn't yet had the international success it would also like, says Rajesh Jain, an author of the KPMG report.

But movies like "Kites" and "My Name is Khan," which are filmed abroad and have international plot lines, have more chance of global success than the standard masala Bollywood dance and love story musicals that typify the industry.

The brothers are named Saud and Nadeem, the former friendly, the latter a little grumpy. Along with their somewhat comical sidekick, Salik, they devote themselves to a project they began as kids: protecting the bird of prey known as the black kite, a glorious, hovering creature widely detested as a scavenging nuisance. Day after day, ailing and injured kites arrive at their homemade infirmary where the trio nurses them until they're able to fly back into the urban wild.

Talk about bird by bird! The guys have helped 20,000 so far. And the injured kites just keep falling from the sky in a city whose air is infamously filthy and whose toxin-laced landfills may be the world's largest. "Delhi is a gaping wound," Saud says, "and we're just a Band-Aid on it."

But the movie's not grim. Working in an impressionistic style that couldn't be less strident or propagandistic, Sen has made a film that captures life in the richest and most humane sense. He immerses us in a world we didn't know before, showing us the lives of regular people, not celebrated artists or politicians. And he lets us make connections for ourselves. There's no narrator or text telling us what to think as we watch the intersection of three ecosystems.

Now, this is a lot for one 90-minute film, and Sen sometimes strains a bit in reaching for a grand sense of meaning. Yet this is a quibble about a film that's bursting with humanity. In an age when we're constantly reminded of all that's bad, All That Breathes celebrates good things it's easy to forget: the wonder of life, the virtues of compassion and the human capacity to make the world better.

Jo Andres is both choreographer and filmmaker; her work defies easy classification. Her stage pieces weave projected film into a rich texture of mixed mediums with uniquely beautiful, holographic results. In Dreaming Out Loud, to name one, synchronized action unfolds across three screens, sometimes spilling out onto the stage and live bodies, and other times absorbing the dancers into the two-dimensional surface of the film. It is a tour de force of coordinated images.

Her film work has screened at festivals in Edinburgh, Melbourne, Zurich, Berlin, Toronto, London, San Francisco, and in New York at Lincoln Center, The Public Theater, Millennium, and the New York Downtown Film Festival.

Carroll worked on the film, directed by Indian filmmaker Shaunak Sen, as an executive producer through Tangled Bank Studios, an arm of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. A pioneer of the field of evolutionary biology and an author science books for general audiences, he also serves as vice president for science education at the nonprofit life sciences giant based in Chevy Chase, Md.

Flying Paper is the uplifting story of Palestinian children in Gaza engaged in the fascinating culture of kite making and flying. The film follows Musa, a charismatic teenaged kite-maker in the village of Seifa, and Abeer an aspiring young journalist in the Jabalya refugee camp. They join a remarkable quest, along with thousands of other children, to shatter the Guinness World Record for the most kites ever flown. It showcases the creative resilience of these children making and flying kites despite the difficult realities they face in their daily lives. The film has been co-produced with young Palestinians in Gaza trained by the filmmakers through a youth media program called Voices Beyond Walls. Through the perspective of children and young people comes a story of determination and artistic expression as the youth in the film work together to achieve a shared goal.

It is difficult to ascertain what exactly the story writers [Anurag Basu, Akash Khurana, Robin Bhatt] were thinking or doing while thinking about the story. Several questions and expressions come to your mind at the end: did the Roshans have too much black money and is that why they made this film [my friend Kalyan], did they make this film for Mexicans [my father] and one very dirty look that had the power to convert me to ashes [Mrs Inkenti]

well i love this film.due to high expectation some may not like it.but it is well crafted movie.superb acting by hrithik and barbara.,big convas,superb cinematography by aayan,melodious songs. what u want more from a internatinal standard movie.yes storyline is little weak but presentation is awesome.must watch

Hi all,

 I am also agree with your comment on this movie. When I saw this movie trailer I was thinking that it would be a good action pack love story. there is love story but not so much impressive, ok I can forgive Director for everything but one thing what he dod wrong that in whole movie Barbara morie is peaking mexican with broken english, but there is not well directed. when we meet with foreigner people who does not know english they communicate in their language but they use broken english with body language or by sign they express their self. but in this movie we have not seen this kind of thing. If you see some silent movie you can understand the story also but in this film there are dialogue but audience are not connecting film. Very bad experiment for the Both Roshan. Hritik acting is good , but the poor direction and the poor story spoiled the whole movie. I think Anurag Basu is the main victim for this movie . He spoiled the story and spoiled the whole movie. Lagta hai jab do teen writer ne kahani likhi to teeno kahani main ko gaye aur kahani ke sir aur per ka pata nahi chala aur ye hashra ho gaya movie ka. So sorry for Mr. Rakesh Roshan and for Hritik. e24fc04721
