role
Performances : Tabu has stole the show totally with her performances as Begum , her expressions and dialogue are fantastic , Aditya Roy Kapoor has also performed well with his innocent looks and expressive and intense eyes and fine chiselled body that could melt anyone .Katrina is ok beauty without any emotions and expressions , Rahul Bhatt as Bilal is fine , lara dutta and others are wasted .
Verdict : Abhishek Kapoor is the real Noor of Fitoor. The film is like his canvas and he paints it so beautifully that the entire first half you sit marvelling the beauty of Kashmir. True to the song ‘Haminastu’, Kashmir truly looks heavenly. What is special about this film is that because it because it looks so good, at some point, you feel like giving all the flaws a miss and just watch. If only, Kapoor had the backing of a strong script. The movie lacks good script and is very slow paced , specially the first half of the movie . On one hand Kapoor has captured innocent love story of Kashmir beautifully on the other hand Also the volatility of life in Kashmir is captured in a horrific scene where Noor’s sister dies. The scene of the bomb blast seems so real and comes so sudden that it will surely give you a jerk.
The cinematography is excellent , music is soulful but goes on in the background only .
Last Word :Fitoor is a film that looks magical, has impressive performances, yet lacks ‘wow’ factor. This love story is not everyone’s cup of tea and hence those with artsy tastes may like
Rating : 2.5*/5*
