Fitoor
2.5/5
The first half of
Fitoor has been
decent but not
completely
impressive. Though
the audience get
delighted with the
visuals and poetic
narration, the
pace has been
dead slow.
Story :
Fitoor has been inspired from
Charles Dicken’s novel Great
Expectations. The movie starts
with Noor (Aditya Roy Kapoor) and
Firdaus (Katrina Kaif) during their
childhood days. They bond up with
each other and as they grow up,
their relation gets stronger and
slowly they fall in love with each
other. It is then Begum (Tabu)
opposes their love because of her
dark and painful past. She tries to
get married Firdaus to a politician
in Pakistan. The rest of the movie
is about how Firdaus and Noor
take their love forward
Analysis :
The first half of Fitoor has been
decent but not completely
impressive. Though the audience
get delighted with the visuals and
poetic narration, the pace has
been dead slow. The songs have
been shot well and they have
been placed right. The pre interval
episodes have been shot well and
they bring up the interest but the
complete first half has been just ok.
The second half of the movie falls
badly in every frame. The movie
dips down and gets killed because
of the narration. The plot has
been sidelined completely and the
director surprised the audience as
he failed to bring out the needed
elements in the movie. On the
whole the complete second half is
a debacle.
Final Word:
Fitoor has impressive
performances and stupendous
visuals but the movie fails to
impress because of the slow pace
and deviated narration.
