Performance

Fitoor is all about Tabu and her acting. She single handedly took the movie to different stage. Aditya Roy Kapoor has matured as an actor and the role of a crazy lover was very much justified. However, Katrina Kaif lacked among all and she was expressionless in most of the movie. She however made great adjustments to behave like affluent family kid and did good there. However, in overall performance meter she is the lowest among all. Rahul Bhatt has very small role but he did enough justice to his director. Child actors Mohammed Abrar and Tunisha Sharma who played the roles of younger Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are also praiseworthy. The screenplay and the narration of the story is quite fascinating especially the scenic beauty of Kashmir. However, director fell short of communicating an intense love story bound with quest. Poor Script and ordinary acting ensured that it is not well accepted among the audience.
