Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapoor film spares no one, not Kashmir, not Delhi
There�s that other quote from Charles Dickens, actually from Great Expectations: Ask me no questions, and you will be told no lies.(more)

Fitoor is much more an ode to love, longing and loss than just another boy-meets-girl romance propped up by routine narrative tropes.
There is so much to admire in Fitoor that it is easy not to be put off by its ponderous pace and lack of contextual detailing. Go for it because there might not be too many better films than Fitoor this year. (more)

Katrina Kaif, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kashmir are a feast for the eyes
Fitoor, for all its spellbinding beauty, fumbles bad. The story meanders and loses way in between, and there seems a certain urgency in tying all the loose ends. Major revelations in this bildungsroman are condensed into a mere span of a few minutes, and it doesn't quite achieve the desired effect. On the other hand, several intense sequences are dulled by their prolixity. Amit Trivedi's music is among the strongest points of Fitoor. Each song of the film is an auditory delight. At the end of the day, Fitoor demands a lot of patience on the part of the viewer. But that is largely made up for by Kashmir. Watch the film for its sheer beauty.(more)

Fitoor is a stunning waste of time and literature
Fitoor takes its own sweet time to unravel and the languor is unearned because the longing is unconvincing. Even when these two make love, they do so only for the cameras, putting their most photogenic feet forward. A Tale Of Two Pretties.(more)

Tabu holds the viewer in her grasp
Katrina is good so long as she has to just be herself. So she dances, smiles and flirts cutely but the minute a dramatic scene comes up that patent �moist eyes and dewy lips� act draws attention to her utter inadequacy as a performer. Aditya has to look completely mesmerised by her and deeply unhappy in love which he does adequately. An air of mystery, artifice and affectation, coquettishness and stylised speech � Tabu�s Begum is a world of her own, often hard to fathom but she holds the viewer in her grasp and Fitoor eventually turns out to be her film than that of Noor or Firdaus. It�s her enduring love that has more pain and intensity than the plastic emotions of the film�s lead. Or for that matter the director�s love for the Kashmir panorama.(more)

FITOOR is a huge letdown despite its great visuals, as it fails to connect emotionally. At the Box-Office, the movie will appeal only to a minuscule set of multiplex audience.
There are many scenes in the film that do no good to the film, but only land up confusing the viewers. Testimonials to this are in the form of Ajay Devgn's role in the film, and also the scene wherein Aditya reads a news article about a Begam spending a fortune on her heiress' wedding, whereas, the so-called 'wedding' never seems to take place in the movie. Despite all the flaws and shortcomings, one has to admit that the film looks extremely appealing visually. (more)
