Ekta R. Garg's blog post was featuredAnalyzing Kites—What Does It Mean for Bollywood?
By Ekta R. GargJune 4, 2010Rated: Get it on NetflixOver the Memorial Day weekend, I did what many people do in these three days: I watched a movie. And considering my unique connection to it, I felt it only fitting that I go see the “Hindi” version of Kites. After hearing Hrithik and Co. talk about the work they put into the film on May 14 at the Kites press event, I was incredibly curious to see it and find out for myself whether Kites lives up to all the hype surrounding it.

Jennifer Hopfinger commented on Ekta R. Garg's blog post Analyzing Kites—What Does It Mean for Bollywood?"The movie has certainly prompted a lot of discussion from many different viewpoints and I love how everyone has a different, almost contradictory take on it.

Lisa commented on Ekta R. Garg's blog post Analyzing Kites—What Does It Mean for Bollywood?"This is an interesting review! Every review I read of this movie is so different.

Ekta R. Garg commented on Lisa's blog post Pyaar Impossible review"Sorry, ladies, but I have to disagree with Lisa. I didn't like this one at all! I just found it to drag on and on; Uday's screenplay to me just took too long to get to the point. But, Lisa, I'm glad you enjoyed it!"
Lisa commented on Ekta R. Garg's blog post A Season of Change"As a newcomer to the Bollywood experience, I found this article very interesting and informative. Thanks, Ekta! I've watched mostly the newer films from the last 20 years because those are what Netflix has available on Instant Watch. One thing…"
Jennifer Hopfinger commented on Ekta R. Garg's blog post A Season of Change"I too worry about the Westernization of Hindi film. But I'm hopeful that Bollywood will stay true to itself and maintain the distinct qualities that make it magical - because that's what Indian audiences demand. One of the things I love…"

By Ekta R. GargMay 21, 2010When I was young, New York City held a certain amount of mystique for me. New York City was the city of never-ending traffic and bright lights; the city of teeming crowds and brand names. The city of celebrity sightings and high-profile events.One week ago I immersed myself in this city and got to enjoy one of my most favorite past-times—Bollywood—in person. Literally!Knowing I’d be in New York City for the Kites press event, I made sure to dress the part. My mom…See More
