Fitoor (2016)
7/10
Promising start but messy second half
19 August 2021
Adapting Charles Dickens novel great expectations with Kashmir backdrop, the film has an expectation from everyone, as it did well in first half. But it was the second which is an utter mess. Anything happens anywhere, and what was the use of Ajay devgan cameo, it's useless.

Talking about the positives, the cinemtography is brilliant, it brought Kashmir to life on screen.

Music by Amit trivedi is mind-blowing. He's a genius . Every song is masterfully crafted. Hats off.

Acting Katrina as firdaus tries hard but does not stand out.

Aditya Roy Kapoor as noor acted well, and proved that he need good script to prove his acting mettle.

Lara Dutta in her small role is so good Aditi Rao Haideri cameo as young begum is superb.

And Tabu as begum is so haunting and brilliant.

She nailed the role of begum. Her dialogue delivery, her accent, her stare everything is out of the world.

She stand out in every frame she's in.

. Abhishek Kapoor's direction is fine but only in first half, he's seems losing his grip in second half.

. .

. Overall the film is one time watch.
