Namrata Joshi The Hindu 01/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review

Worth seeing but go with low expectations. Go to Full Review
Rachel Saltz New York Times 02/11/2016
"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. Go to Full Review
Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 05/09/2019
The pain, the rejection, the searing desire for revenge, the all-conquering power of love - none of it is adequately conveyed in Fitoor. Go to Full Review
J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy 11/03/2017
In Fitoor each character is less engaging than the last, to the point where I wonder if they were directed at all. Go to Full Review

3/5
The film also looks gorgeous -- but opulence takes over substance, chinars, minars and lace dominating grip, passion and pace. Go to Full Review

Waniya S Nov 23 "Ghorna band kro Noor. It’s bad manners." Movie was such an aesthetic piece, I can’t recommend this enough. Love, madness, longing, yearning, admiration, acts of services, greed. Everything was so beautifully done.

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. See more 12/18/2018 Film itself was art but somewhere storyline gone wrong.. See more 04/09/2017 Unfortunately the website won't let me go below this rating. If it would let me I would give it a negative 10. See more 01/12/2017 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. See more Read all reviews
