Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

akash-keserwani its a good romantic movie with very good story,cast was utmost perfect.a young boy falling in love of a very beautiful girl and chasing her through out his life,but its no where near to be called a adaption to the great novel by charles dickens THE GREAT EXPECTATIONS.that story in the novel had so much more than just a boy and a girl.the movie if considered to be adaption shows very different and incomplete and confusing version of it,maybe the theme is a little bit similar but the story is no way near similar but still its a very good movie considering the fact that its a bollywood movie.

Kaamil Wani This movie was more about feel than watch. One imbibes a sense of beauty and serenity and is brought into a transparent world. It uses expressionistic techniques rather than the melodramatic techniques. For me this movie is for a learned audience and no actor disappoints you. They are all up to mark. It is a worth watching movie for those who love art. The visual beauty and expressionistic techniques are visible at every moment. Aditya's language needs applause as he has it, i mean the characters native accent .... Thanks to Fitoor team for such lovely feast. This movie un-tells more than it tells you and it is your imagination which is in charge. Tabu shines in the movie for her excellent acting and so do others. The young Estella is equally very impressive and so is the young Pip. Only thing that I felt was, it could have been expanded by some length and the directors cut is somehow not very genuine.

Romessa Nadeem This week's Bollywood offering to the perpetually consumeristic audience, Fitoor, attempts to explore the complexities of love, time and distance between the lover and the loved one. There's not much to tell about the story; Noor, (Aditiya Roy Kapoor) a poor yet talented boy falls for Firdaus, (Katrina Kaif) the beautiful and charismatic daughter of Begum, (Tabu) one of the richest women in town. Begum plots to have the two broken up for reasons later revealed in the movie. It should be noted that I have not read the book and the following review shall be in light of the film in itself, not in relation to the book.Fitoor is a movie heavy in mood and symbolism. It gives the impression of having a lot to say but it seems to have no words to articulate what it wants. The narration and uneven pacing of the movie are murky and the movie blindly progresses into a world where everything is done without consequence. It seems to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of exposition in the second half of the film and nothing is as clearly defined as it should have been, blurring what could have been a perfectly adequate narrative into an irregular sequence of events which seem to have no substantial consequences or side effects whatsoever. Love suddenly seems easier when convenience has a bigger role in the film than Lara Dutta's character. This may not seem to have a large impact but for a film whose main purpose was to show the struggle of two star-crossed lovers torn apart by class difference and circumstance, I had a hard time buying what it was selling; events manufactured specifically to drive the plot further, a selfless best friend who knows all and forgives all and of course, the fiancé who is not entirely a nice man making the audience supportive of the blooming romance and averse to any sort of sympathy for himself. Cliché's are displayed more often in this film than Noor's unrealistically sexy peasant/artist body.Regardless of the lack of an even narrative, the film does a brilliant job of showcasing the wonder of love through visual effects. What it cannot seem to articulate, it still seems to beautifully capture in artistic shots involving gorgeous sets, stunning scenery and intricate costumes. Metaphors also feature heavily in the movie, quite cleverly might I add. Details concerning Begum's penchant for collecting jewelry is a touch I'm grateful the filmmakers decided to add. Speaking of, Tabu gives an absolutely striking performance as the deranged and downright frightening Begum. She steals the show from Aditiya Roy Kapoor, also a delight to watch and Katrina Kaif, who suited the role well and gave one of her best performances (doesn't really say much, to be fair). While they don't much surpass average, they do have chemistry and for that, I'm grateful. The music is wonderful on its own but played during scenes featuring Mother Nature's finest creations, you can't help but fall a little bit in love as well.Lastly, the question of whether self-identity can be found through love is one which Noor ponders over. He begs the question of whether love is self-destruction and impulsive passionate actions or an answer to an identity crisis. Is love for another human being possible without answering the crucial question, "who am I?" Fitoor explores the dynamics of this question but not wholly satisfactorily for my taste nor with the sort of script which is original or innovative.Conclusively, I cannot deny that for some audiences, the film will seem stale and boring. That's because there isn't much to see that we haven't seen before. But if one manages to pick up on some of the more subtle themes (which granted are not as deeply explored as they should have been) and have respect for good cinematography, then they may be able to forgive the weak direction and script and watch a film which is a pretty decent effort at a book-to-movie adaptation.

kaushalmodi1985 Movie Review: Fitoor Ratings: 2/5 Genre: RomanceBefore release, audience have high expectations from fitoor, due to superb Starcast Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif and Director Abhishek Kapoor. But fitoor proves yet another boring romantic movie of these month after Sanam Teri Kasam. Fitoor is a story of Noor Nizami (Adiya Roy Kapoor) and Firdous (Katrina Kaif). Noor likes Firdous from childhood. One day Firdous went to London for further studies and Noor lefts behind in Kashmir. After many years Noor becomes an famous artist and goes to Delhi. where he again meets to Firdous and they fall in love with each other. Suddenly one day Firdous leaves to Noor and again goes back to Kashmir. Whether there love story reach to destination or not? thats the story of Fitoor after Intermission.Aditya Roy Kapoor is excellent in role of Noor Nizami. Katrina looks beautiful but performance is strictly OK in role of Firdous. Tabu is good. Ajay Devgan has done good job in special appearance. As Director, these time Abhishek Kapoor fails to entertain the audience due to Weak script, Screenplay and Direction. Cinematography is just awesome. Overall, Fitoor is a romantic story without soul. Its a waste of time and money. Huge Disappointment. Avoid it.
