What's different between this 'international version' of the Kites poster and its desi counterpart? Quite a few things actually.

The Indian one has a soft tone and gives it the feel of a romance flick. The 'Brett Ratner Presents' poster, however, is more gritty, has Las Vegas' bright neon lights as the backdrop with falling rain dousing the image.



You immediately make a connect with Ratner's Rush Hour posters, with the fonts used in the title only serving to play up that fact.

The film poster turns action-y with Duggu's thumb getting photo-chopped and replaced with a gun. The bandage on Barbara Mori's arm is bloodier.

Brett's the known name so his name appears in bold while Rakesh Roshan and Anurag Basu get lost in the small print. Guess that's how the cookie crumbles in Hollywood.
