Leave your thoughts about Fitoor.
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathFitoor's plot has no central motor to power it through its twists and turns, and no discernible big idea to replace the critique of privilege and entitlement. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghGiven that the source material is so familiar, Fitoor could have benefited by shaking it up a little. |
| The HinduNamrata JoshiKatrina 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. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoIn Fitoor each character is less engaging than the last, to the point where I wonder if they were directed at all. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaDirector Abhishek Kapoor could've done a lot more with this film. The love story between his leads should have been a lot more intense. But in the end the film turns out to be a shallow affair. |
| The Times of IndiaSrijana Mitra DasThe film also looks gorgeous -- but opulence takes over substance, chinars, minars and lace dominating grip, passion and pace. |
| Time OutAnil SinananWorth seeing but go with low expectations. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanThere are moments in Fitoor which are brilliant, but they are few and far between. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarIf only the director had got his main leads right, perhaps this would have been a different film. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzBased, sometimes loosely, sometimes carelessly, sometimes pointlessly, on “Great Expectations,” the Hindi movie Fitoor is at all times more Bollywood than Dickens. |
