At last here comes a Hindi movie that manages to tug some Hollywood obsessed American Hearts. It is a Hollywood/Bollywood mish-mash of different genres/languages/cultures that is bound to get quite a bit of American eyeballs not just seasoned Bollywood Buffs. This will surely be a crowd-puller among South Asians and Hispanics.
The movie has got rave reviews from many western critics.
Lets hope this movie builds some new fan base in the Hollywood Heartland.

KITES: A romantic melodrama
Bollywood’s widest U.S. release to date, hitting 215 stateside screens, is ironically atypical: a romantic melodrama in English, Spanish and Hindi, with nary a dance number.
