Hrithik Roshan & Barbara Mori, Kites
Hrithik Roshan, often called the Brad Pitt of India, is a superstar of Bollywood musicals, as well known for his fabulously defined physique as for his green eyes and the fantastical roles he takes on. Kites, made in Las Vegas and the American Southwest in Spanish, English and Hindi, pairs Roshan with Mexico's Barbara Mori, who together play two hustling opportunists who fall for each other and flee Vegas gangsters, irate ex-lovers and the police. The action-filled movie is a departure from the usual three-to-four hour Bollywood effort in that it's only 130-minutes long, although it's also being released as the 90-minute Bret Rattner Presents Kites: The Remix (17 minutes).
