Fitoor movie is based on Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations and is written by director Abhishek Kapoor and Supratik Sen. Aditya Roy Kapoor reprises the role of Pip, Katrina Kaif is Estella and Tabu is playing the role of wealthy spinster Miss Havisham.

Great Expectations had a commendable story, we wonder if Abhishek Kapoor's desi version will have the same impact as the novel! Will Aditya, Katrina and Tabu give justification to their characters? Has Abhishek Kapoor been successful in delivering us an entertaining film with Fitoor? Read to find out!

Story:

This movie revolves around the life of a thirteen year old boy Noor, his muse Firdaus and Begum Hazrat who plots retribution on these youngsters in love. Noor (Aditya Roy Kapur) falls head over heels in love with his muse, Firdaus but the fact that he is much below her in the class status of the soceity, things fail to take place.

Begum Hazrat (Tabu), Firdaus's mother plays the major role of keeping the two away! In her twenties, she gets jilted by her first love and that betrayal stays with her through out, making her an emotionally frazzled person.

Owing to that sour incident, she never allows her daughter to commit the same mistake she once did. If Noor is a struggling orphan desperate to win over Firdaus, then the latter is breath-takingly gorgeous women who is emotionally controlled by her mother.

Will Firdaus value Noor's love? Will Noor stop going behind this provocative woman? Will he stop destroying himself? Will Begum realize her mistake? And finally, will the Noor and Firdaus ever unite in this slightly altered story by Abhishek Kapoor? The answers to all these questions forms the crux of this story.

Aditya Roy Kapoor is a talented boy who has put in a lot of efforts to get the role of Noor right and that effort comes across the acreen. Right from his body, to his looks, his performance, Aditya has given comeplete justification to the role.

Katrina Kaif's accent is American while her character just returned from London, which makes one think about the kind of preparation she has put in. She does well as the hot, tempermental beauty that is times when she had to maintain a stern face but the rest of the movie where expressions were needed, the leggy redhead fails! Famous for her expressionless performance, Katrina continues the same in Fitoor as well.

It is Tabu who steals the show in Fitoor. Much like Haider, Tabu just has this capability to make it all about her. Her walk, her expressions, her face everything was perfectly in sync with Miss Havisham, on which her role was based.

It was like she digested the Charles Dicken's novel and the character of Miss Havisham was running through her viens. We are so glad this beauty returned to movies, and so glad she replaced Rekha for Tabu is just a class apart! Coming to the direction of the movie, this is Abhishek's first attempt at a intense love story and the guy has done a good job. The only place he fails is in showing this couple's pain, love and passion and making us feel the same.

The emotion of the movie fails to get across the viewers in some places. There are scenes which will make you gasp for a breath, but there are not as many as one would wish to see.

Some may be disappointed in the movie post watching trailer, as in the 2 minutes sneak-peek video is was all about Kashmir but here the place takes a backseat and everything revolves around the hyper Firdaus.

Standing ovation to cinematographer Anay Goswamy, who has made Fitoor a visual masterpiece. Every frame in the movie is a work of art and every scene makes you feel you like you want to get this printed, framed and on your wall.

The team and director has worked alot, planning and working on every minute detail that certain things that viewers would love to see are left uncatered to. While the movie is visually stunning, the romance, pain and passion between Aditya and Katrina that is shown in trailer fails to come across.

Verdict:

Fitoor is a class movie like Haider, while there are flaws, it is definitely worth the watch.
