Namrata Joshi The Hindu Katrina is good so long as she has to just be herself. So she dances, smiles and flirts cutely but the minute a dramatic scene comes up that patent "moist eyes and dewy lips" act draws attention to her utter inadequacy as a performer. Jan 2, 2019 Full Review Anil Sinanan Time Out Worth seeing but go with low expectations. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times "Fitoor" doesn't get much political resonance out of its Kashmiri setting, though the wintry sadness of the first scenes has power. Nor does it get much resonance out of class differences between Noor and Firdaus. Feb 11, 2016 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost The pain, the rejection, the searing desire for revenge, the all-conquering power of love - none of it is adequately conveyed in Fitoor. May 9, 2019 Full Review J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy In Fitoor each character is less engaging than the last, to the point where I wonder if they were directed at all. Nov 3, 2017 Full Review Srijana Mitra Das The Times of India The film also looks gorgeous -- but opulence takes over substance, chinars, minars and lace dominating grip, passion and pace. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It is really sad to see that movies like fitoor flopped in the box office. This movie is fully aesthetic in nature. The usage of light, shadow and colours are brilliant. The movie's motto is not to figure out the political circumstance of Kashmir but to concentrate on the heart of the artist, Noor and his muse, Firdaus. The Indian people who once sculptured the Khajuraho temple are now devoid of artistic temperament. I think that much of the audience are not fitoor (obsessed) with art and they don't know how to feels to hold a brush, mix colours and create something. But people must try to revive their artistic conscience otherwise we would end up in misunderstanding our artistic heritage and spit on the walls of Taj Mahal or take selfies in museums. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Film itself was art but somewhere storyline gone wrong.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately the website won't let me go below this rating. If it would let me I would give it a negative 10. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Abhishek Kapoor is a man on a roll. For a man whose filmography boasts of the likes of Rock On and Kai Po Che, Fitoor is just the icing on a particularly delectable cake. An adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic 19th century novel Great Expectations, Fitoor takes all of his Victorian-era characters - Pip, Estella and the delightfully complex Miss Havisham - and adapts them to a contemporary setting that alternates between Kashmir and Delhi. The characters, their intricacies and motivations remain mostly in sync with Dickens' original vision - setting the stage for a powerful drama that is not only sensuous but also deeply affecting. What particularly surprised me about Fitoor was the performances of its lead pair. Both Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif have never been this compelling in a long, long time. These are performances that will be talked about for years to come. Kapur seems to be having a blast playing Pip - it's a role that's tailor-made for him and one that thankfully doesn't descend into caricature. Katrina, on the other hand, is the living embodiment of Estella. Fitoor's biggest strength, however, is its subtlety and the delicacy with which it unravels what is essentially a tale of love, hope and despair. Even the slow parts work, and work well. This is a film that would have left Charles Dickens helplessly grinning in his grave. And that is as big a compliment as a filmmaker can ever get. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Granted that this flick isn't worth the hassle of buying movie tickets and watching at a theatre, but it certainly is worth watching! I found the story very intense. Maybe this was down to the performances of the Kaif and Roy Kapoor, maybe this was down to the great storytelling. There were some locational ellipses but these were glossed over with the acting, story and plot development and some great songs. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member very boring movie I watch with my gf I swaer its we about to walk is that boring don't waste your money on this plz thks Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
