GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

silvan-desouza Hrithik suddenly became a superstar after Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000, we all know about that. Fiza was his second film after KNPH naturally people were overexcited but the film let people down. First of all it was an offbeat film something people were shocked about. It had Hrithik paired with Karisma but she playing his elder sisterThis was Khalid's debut as a director, Khalid Mohammed was a film critic and he turned director with this film. The film starts off well, Karisma's search for her brother is well handled, the flashback portions too are well handled but in the second half after Hrithik comes home, the plot stagnates. Suddenly we have a song in a nightclub where Karisma who wears modest clothes suddenly wears fashionable outfits? Perhaps to keep the distributors and chawani crowd searching for glamour happy? Also some scenes seem integrated after KNPH to satisfy Hrithik fans. There are several flaws in the second half, Manoj Bajpai's character seems sketchy, Also towards the end the script gets lose and the climax which seems straight from VAASTAV doesn't seem satisfying.Direction is mixed bag, good in several portions of the first half but weak in parts Music by Anu Malik was good, Mehboob Mere by Sunidhi Chauhan became a rage, Aaja Mahiya too is a good number, Tu Hawa Hai is superb but seems forced in the screenplay.Hrithik Roshan showed that he was capable to carry off an authorbacked role and does a good job in this role as well, In just his second film he proved he was here to stay. Karisma who normally played the bimbette in Govinda films suddenly shifted to strong roles, here she proves she has more then just her screeching annoying weeping, she plays her role perfectly Bikram Saluja has a small role and is okay Jaya Bachchan is good, Neha is okay Manoj Bajpai who is her husband in real life does well but his role could be better, rest are okay

kellyjeanne My husband and I really enjoyed this movie. The music is great, and the story was really really good. I think this was a great way to introduce us to Hindi movies since the story was so compelling and included a look at Hindu/Muslim relations that Americans don't really know or understand. Plus the cinematography was beautiful. After seeing this one, we hardly watch any english language movies anymore! Go Bollywood!

vlulla Fiza is definitely one of the better movies churned out by Bollywood in recent times. It carries a message that every religion is good but it is the politicians who are using religion as a weapon and destroying innocent families for ulterior motives. It deals with the problems being faced in India currently which have been repeatedly erupting and causing a huge dent in the economy. Since the past 50 years, every time India has got back on its feet a new politician created calamity has dragged it back down preventing it from being a power to reckon with and doing away with national problems like poverty and illiteracy which prevents people from leading a normal existence. And every time the roots of these calamities can be traced to religion. Everything is not fair in the name of religion. The film has good music and both Karisma & Hrithik have rendered superb award winning performances. Some people may feel that Hrithik's character is not very strong but looking at it from a perspective of what he is subjected to and circumstances which he cannot control make him the person portrayed in the movie. The silent scene of him in the train says it all.

Mr. Bug Hrithik Roshan's second and film critic Khalid Mohamed's first movie is an art house film with commercial interludes, obviously deemed necessary for box office performance and integrated with various degrees of success. The film suffers and profits at the same time from the 6 song/dance numbers and one prayer. While the prayer is wonderful and convincingly marries the plot with musical and visual elements, providing an esthetic and also emotional highlight of the film, the dance number by Sushmita Sen and the disco number by Karishma Kapoor, although solid and attractive per se, look forced in the context and have little connection to the film's central themes. The Karishma-Bikram song could be easily edited out at no loss. This is less the case with the Hrithik-Neha sequence which looks and sounds great and adds some desperately needed happiness to an otherwise rather sad sequence of events. And of course it's the only time Hrithik dances. Cutting this one would probably have caused riots in cinemas. The funeral piece is also well integrated and is not an artistic liability. Finally the martial training montage is as commercial and obvious as it gets, exploiting Hrithik Roshan's 'Rambo' aspect at its fullest. Technically well done and a blessing for the box office, no doubt, but artistically a capitulation. A very guilty pleasure indeed. The reason "Fiza" is nonetheless a quite impressive debut film is due to the three leads, two seasoned performers and a newcomer, but all three giving wonderful performances, and an uncompromising look at a subject that is controversial but anything but irrelevant, the Mumbai riots of the early 90s, the ethnic and religious hatred behind it and the unscrupulous forces causing and exploiting it to further their dubious causes. Watch the movie for its cast. This is clearly Karishma Kapoor's best performance so far and likely to fetch awards. As Fiza she shows great strength, resolution and the courage to lay bare emotional depths unseen from her so far. Jaya Bachchan as the mother is solid and turns in a fine performance. Hrithik Roshan, finally, puts to rest all worries that he might be a one film wonder and no real talent. His performance is simply amazing considering this is only his second film. There is hardly one wrong note to be found. His acting comes very naturally, his facial expressions speak volumes. His riot scenes have to be seen to be believed. His screen presence is impressive. He's probably the most charismatic new actor working in films these days, and I'm not talking about India alone. His performance would be very good for an old professional. For a newcomer it's incredible. His future in India and abroad looks extremely bright if that's a standard he can uphold and probably even improve upon. This is an actor to watch very closely in the future. International superstar material.
