Let's get this right - Kites is no masterpiece. Rakesh Roshan coming up with a history dating back to the Kati Patang era. Romance is brewing amongst Bollywood clichés in which the heroine calls the hero to dance in the rain while your inhibitions behind, or the hero lends his coat to heroin when she is drenched. These properties are conventional, and the case is predictable. What still keeps you connected Kites is Anurag Basu's sublime direction in which he binds you emotionally with the naked intensity of this heartbreaking love story.
