Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan and Mexican star Barbara Mori’s action-romance Kites has become the first Bollywood film to debut in the North American top ten on opening weekend flying into the number ten spot. Released by Reliance Big Pictures, the Rakesh Roshan-produced film grossed an estimated USD 1 million for the period of May 21-23, ranking just behind the ninth-place film How to Train Your Dragon which has grossed over USD 210 million.

While the movie was able to get into the top 10 in US Box-office, the movie was seen in the number 5 spot at the UK box office and in India, Kites saw the second biggest opening day gross in history trailing only 3 Idiots.

This coming Friday an international version of the film titled “Kites – The Remix” will open in select theaters in US and the length of the movie will be only 90 minutes.
