The movie was at the pace it promised it would be. I got a flavor of the movie ‘Kites’ may be due to some Spanish in it or may be both the stories are a journey. The story is of three friends who as per their promise to go for a bachelors trip, go for a vacation to Spain. One can easily correlate it with their own life, for if you were in that place that would be the perfect way you would wish to plan a vacation. It is so because the vacation had everything to be interesting viz. plan, uncertainties, surprise, thrill and most importantly friends…good old friends. It may look as if a video shoot during a vacation. But I see a complete allegory in this film. It has more represented life, fear, truth and wish in the story. And rest of the script was just to carry these sentiments to the right place as I believe.
Everyone at their heart has some fear. And a lack of courage holds him to do which must be done. When people die they are asked or they say their last wish, that wish I believe is very true to their heart as he has nothing to fear. The three protagonists in the movie have some hidden apprehensions for some unwanted may occur to life. They discover their courage by facing what they hate to do most, doing something that they think may bring closer to the end of their life and thus rediscovering themselves. Their approach to life becomes less sophisticated than before. The complex mathematics of fear, courage and life has been portrayed on the canvass of an exciting tour.
The whole story is sprinkled with light weight humour. And necessary flirting and romancing is well placed in the film to add optimum spice. Overall, if you flow with the movie without any hurry, hardly you will feel any place to get bored. When script is based on such emotions, when you don’t have many turns and twist in the story, then I think it is the marvel of the Director to hold you for three hours. Further, the songs are beautiful and musical and most importantly the ‘Shayari’ strewn at the situations of fear, truth, grief and rediscovering self were classic in content and delivery. It’s a movie to watch if you want to relax and travel with the journey in the cinema. Do watch if you want to experiment with the variety in Indian cinema.
