MY REVIEW

FILM – FIDA

“WHEN A FILM LIKE FIDA IS RELEASED WHICH BOASTS OF A STARCAST COMPRISING THE HOT COUPLE SHAHID AND KAREENA,THE EXPECTATIONS ARE BOUND TO BE GARGAUNTAN.BUT JUST JUDGING A FILM BY IT’S FACE VALUE IS NOT LOGICAL,IT SHOULD HAVE A SOLID CONTENT TOO.AFTERALL,OUR VIEWERS ARE NOT THAT FOOLISH ANYMORE.THEY WANT TO WATCH FILMS WHICH ARE VALUE FOR MONEY.

OKAY,LET’S NOW FOCUS ON FIDA AND IT’S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.

FIDA TELLS THE STORY OF AN INNOCENT GUY,JAI[SHAHID KAPOOR],IN SEARCH OF THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS.ONE DAY SHE FINDS HER.YES,SHE IS HER OFF-SCREEN SWEETHEART KAREENA KAPOOR WHOSE SCREEN NAME IS NEHA.EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE TILL KAREENA SUDDENLY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE ONE DAY.WEL,THE REASON.HER FATHER,NOW DEAD HAD TAKEN A LOAN OF RUPEES 6 CRORES AND NOW IT’S PAYBACK TIME FOR KAREENA.IF SHE IS UNABLE TO RETURN THE SUM OF MONEY,THE GANGSTERS WOULD SETTLE SCORES WITH HER.SO SHE CRIES IN FRONT OF SHAHID FOR A WAY OUT.SHAHID FOR THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE HAS TO FIND A WAY OUT.SO HE THINKS OF A BANK ROBBERY.ONE DAY,HE FINDS FARDEEN TAKING OUT A HUGE SUM OF MONEY FROM THE UNIVERSAL BANK.SHAHID FOLLOW HIM TO HIS MANSION BUT EVENTUALLY GET CAUGHT.FARDEEN FINDS HIM AN INNOCENT GUY & ASKS HER THE REASONS FOR THIS DO.FINALLY AFTER HEARING SHAHID’S PROBLEM,DECIDES TO GIVE HIM THE MONEY HE NEEDS BUT FOR ONE THING.FARDEEN IS A HACKER INVOLVED IN A RS 550 CRORE HEIST FROM A DON’S A/C.JAI[SHAHID] HAS TO SURRENDER AS VIKRAM[FARDEEN] TO THE POLICE.JAI AGREES AND WHILE GETTING HIMSELF PRODUCED AT THE COURT,GETS ATTACKED BY THE DON’S MEN AND FINALLY ESCAPES FROM THERE.SOON,HE FINDS HIMSELF BETRAYED BY NEHA HAVING FOUND HER ROMANCING WITH VIKRAM.THE REST IS ALL ABOUT SHAHID’S REVENGE AGAINST THE COUPLE FINALLY KILLING KAREENA IN THE END.

FIDA HAS UNCANNY RESEMBLENCE WITH HOLLYWOOD FLICKS THE REAR WINDOW & THE TRUMAN SHOW AND ABBAS-MUSTAN’S AJNABEE AND HUMRAAZ.

AS FAR AS THE POSITIVES GO,FIDA HAS QUITE A NUMBER OF THEM.

SHAHID’S PERFORMANCE IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE MOVIE.HE IS DAMN GOOD AT EVERYTHING,BE IT DANCING IN NAZAR NAZAR[HIS INTRODUCTION IN THE MOVIE],LOOKING GOOD,EXPRESSIVE HIS BLIND LOVE TO KAREENA,HIS OUTBURST IN THE TRAIN HAVING GOT BETRAYED BY HIS LOVER AND FINALLY AVENGING REVENGE,HAS GONE THROUGH OF EMOTIONS,WHETHER WHITE OR GREY WITH ELAN.

KAREENA KAPOOR IS GOOD TOO IN SHADES OF BLACK OR WHITE.FARDEEN HAS NOTHING TO DO EXCEPT LOOK GOOD,BETTER HE LEARNS SOME ACTING BEFORE SIGNING HIS NEXT MOVIE.

THE MUSIC IS THE BEST PART IN THE MOVIE WITH ANU MALIK HAVING DELIVERED ONE OF HIS BEST WORKS TILL DATE.EVERY SONG IS A CUT ABOVE THE REST,SPECIALLY NAZAR NAZAR AND AAJA VE MAHI.

NOW,FIDA’S DRAWBACKS.THE SECOND HALF IS TOO STRETCHY WITH THE AUDIENCES LOSING INTEREST POST INTERVAL MAKING THE CLIMAX LOOK NOT SO GOOD AS IT IS.

ALL LOVE STORIES DO NOT HAVE THE PERFECT ENDING,HOPE SHAHID-KAREENA’S FINDS SOLACE IN THEMSELVES IN THEIR REAL LIFE .SIGNING OFF WITH BEST WISHES TO THEM IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FUTURE PROJECTS.”
