A tale of star-crossed lovers who come under the strictures of societal class divide, Fitoor is director Abhishek Kapoor's cinematic interpretation of Charles Dicken's novel 'The Great Expectations' that is artistically splendid but falls below expectations from a holistic perspective.
Chronicling the story of Noor( Aditya Roy Kapoor) and his obsession for Firdaus (Katrina Kaif) who is the daughter of a rich Kashmiri heiress, Begum Hazrat(Tabu), Fitoor unfolds lazily against the ethereal backdrop of snow-clad Kashmir.With a mood reminiscent of the acclaimed hit of 2014,Haider, the narrative never catches the momentum because of its frivolous juxtaposition of the tension that lurks in every corner of the militant-infested place.A thirteen-year old Noor is smitten by the charming Firdaus, who introduces him to the aristocracy and affluence surrounding their mansion and Begum takes an instant liking at his creative paintings, appointing him as a caretaker of their stable.While the teenagers develop friendship,Noor is constantly alerted by the vengeful Begum about his vainness of being in love with Firdaus.And as part of an orchestrated retribution,one fine day she sends off Firdaus to London leaving the heartbroken Noor with her memories.
But as luck would have it, they meet again after a gap of fifteen years in Delhi where Noor has landed through an anonymous benefactor to pursue a promising career in arts and Firdaus has blossomed into a haughty and ravishing beauty, but engaged to a Pakistani Politician, which is more like an elitist alliance.What follows is a tumultuous saga of love that faces friction, hardships and volatility of emotions.
With a compelling camera-work(Anay Goswami) and poetic musical scores(Amit Trivedi) that provides awe-inspiring vignettes, Kapoor tries to emulate a complex plot but the inconsistencies are glaring for its snail pace.No doubt,he has envisioned a historical masterpiece and mounts it lavishly in a contemporary milieu and deserves all credit for shaping this ambitious project.The first half of the film is engaging,it draws us into the characters soaked with sorrow and anguish.Its only the second hour that disappoints where the film derails off the track and digresses into unintentional moodiness.Kapoor's screenplay takes too long to establish the central conflict, and the romantic chemistry between Noor and Firdaus keeps losing the fizz with every passing minute.
Yet for most of the parts, it keeps us invested mostly because of the strong performances from the central cast.Tabu, delivering a master stroke portraying the multi-layered Begum, Aditya articulating Noor's vulnerability and passion with spunk and Katrina imbuing the impenetrable Firdaus with grace.Rahul Bhat impresses as the hard- nosed fiancée, Lara Dutta is cut-short and Aditi Rao Hydari who portrays the younger version of Begum exudes immense charm, and depicts the hollowness of life after being wronged in love.
Fitoor, indubitably, brims with aesthetic delight in all respects.Crucially, the visual extravaganza doesn't warrant a completely satisfying movie-watching experience.
Rating 2.5/5
