The recent Indian movie Kites which became one of the top 10 performers in North America may well open the global movie market to Indian movies. According to the father of Hrithik Roshan, Mr. Rakesh Roshan, this success will open doors for many struggling filmmakers in India.
He said that in spite of having good ideas, they are not as good as producers because they are scared that 'No, no, this will not work" . So, in order to get a bigger territory globally and have an audience to see it, this kind of chance of making this kind of film can be taken.
Shot completely on location in Las Vegas, Sante Fe and Los Angeles, a re-worked English language version of Kites, presented by A-list Hollywood director Brett Ratner, will open in several major markets for the Memorial Day holiday weekend beginning May 28.
Ratner, who offered to re-edit the English version of the film to attune it "to US sensibilities" after watching the print after a casual dinner conversation at his house in Los Angeles, has made the film "a little crispier, a littler racier and a little faster".
Rakesh roshan thinks that the best story to pick up is a love story. And when kites fly they don't know who is holding the string - an Indian, an American or a Mexican". The Mexican kite girl and the Indian boy "don't speak each other's language and still they fall in love showing that language is no barrier. Love has no language".
Roshan thinks Kites will do well among non-Indian audiences too. With many Bollywood films tackling unusual subjects, Roshan thinks Indian audiences have "grown up". Now time is that most of the filmmakers underestimated the audience.
