Kites Box Office 3 – Shirdi Sai Baba Shows Middle Finger to Hrithik Roshan
Poor Hrithik Roshan.
Who’d have thought such a fate would befall the Greek God Indian movie star!
Our heart goes out for the fella.
Bollywood fans have taken a sharp knife and in a swift flick of the wrist peotomized Hrithik (now, for all ye schmucks, peotomy means cutting off the little fella).
The U.S. weekend box office numbers (estimates) for Kites are out and, we tell you, they are a frigging disgrace.
Folks, movies featuring the likes of Genelia D’Souza and Rani Mukerji have higher Average Gross per theater. Can it get any worse.
Kites, which had the widest release of any Bollywood film in the U.S., could manage an average gross of a disgustingly low $4,976 (Boxofficemojo estimates).
Jesus ‘f*cking’ Christ, even that stupid shit Bhootnath had higher average gross per theater.
By the way, Kites’ average gross was lower than Hrithik’s last two movies Krrish and Jodhaa Akbar (please see below table).
No, Kites was not impressive on the total gross either.
For the three-day May 21-23, 2010 opening weekend, total gross for the much hyped Kites is $1.035 million (estimates), significantly less than recent movies featuring Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan.
Kites is a piece of shit and deserves to lose money.
Here’s how Kites fared in the opening weekend compared to a few prominent Bollywood films:

Jodhaa Akbar,which released in less than half the number of screens (Compared to Kites) grossed much higher in USA.
It’s a disaster.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Of course, it is.
In India, desperate folks (trying to save their jobs??) are trying to spin this big shit as a big hit. Ha ha ha.
The numbers were comparatively better in India.(Huge 1st day gross)-but I’m sure it won’t sustain here too either,it’ll fall from Monday onwards.

We don’t know how accurate the numbers coming out of India are.
Irrespective of whether the movie is a big hit or small hit at the box office, Kites is definitely big shit from the artistic perspective.
Starts with Woody Allen’s Match Point and then quickly derails.
Have you seen Match Point? Very nice.
The film is struggling in India too. Although the weekend is good, yet coming crash is evident. The film may not be able to match the business of HF.

Ah, from your lips to God’s ears!
Kits grossed over Rs. 21C in the opening day, next only to 3 idiots
Hollywood Reporter “What makes the movie pop is a standout performance by Roshan, one of Indian cinema’s treasures. Blessed with near-divine good looks and a chiseled form (not to mention an auspicious extra right thumb), the green-eyed actor also happens to be Bollywood’s most accomplished dancer”
The reporters loved Hrithik’s acting. And btw, what is peotomised??

Yeah right. Kites grossed more than India’s Gross Domestic Product. 😉

Read the above post again. Defined in the fourth sentence in brackets.
If Kites flops (which seems to be the case according to the following link),
then it would be a good lesson to Bollywood directors that there is no
substitute to a good script.

As usual, Anurag Basu couldnt resist the impulse to steal (just like his earlier Murder, Life in a Metro). I am wondering if his only good film to date, Gangster, is a copied version or not.
Now I am waiting for Rajneeti.
Long before he made Mrityudand, Gangajal and Apaharan, director Prakash Jha started off with a fine movie called Hip Hip Hurray (1984), starring Raj Kiran and Deepti Naval. Raj Kiran takes up work as a physical instructor in a government school and turns a set of indisciplined boys into winners. The song ‘Ek subah ek mod par’ is excellent.

1. Nice song.
2. You write: Now I am waiting for Rajneeti.
We’ve seen Prakash Jha’s Gangajal and Apaharan. As we wrote in the pre-SI blog review of this film:
something is wrong with these tomatoes..
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10012379-kites/
86%.. got to be a classic
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You are so right. Maybe, it’s classic crap.
Forrest Gump gets only 71% and Avatar manages only 82%.
So, are we supposed to believe Kites is better than Forrest Gump and Avatar.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha……we haven’t stopped laughing.
As the bard would say, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Losing to Genelia and Rani Mukherjee is ok but losing to films like Kambakkht Ishq and Delhi 6.
It is really a disgrace.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
True. Very true.
BTW, we wouldn’t mind losing to Genelia too. 😉
Kites is not doing well at all in India.
In its opening weekend it has grossed less than Akshay Kumar’s Housefull which was released in 500 less prints compared to Kites.
Kites is biggest flop ever for Hrithik Roshan and its losses can be compared to Drona and Blue.

The rascals deserve to fail for putting out a half-baked product and then daring to call it a movie.
