Preview_Fitoor

Releasing on 12 Feb. The first promo I saw and was almost fallen for this. After many years experienced something so beautiful, charismatic, melodious, very subtle yet captivating all at once! I’m talking about the two breathtaking numbers here – 1) Yeh Fitoor Mera and 2) Pashmina. 

Yeh Fitoor Mera should be watched for stunning expressions of Katrina, she has come a long way on the acting skills !!! And Pashmina is for the more stunning and gorgeous Katrina herself. Well she has performed the ballet so effortlessly, even if she is a trained dancer, it’s a treat to watch her. And off course Aditya has performed equally well, well almost..but doesn't beat Kat. Both of them look gorgeous with their sculpted physique. Just mesmerizing!

But, have I spoken about more important element of the set up – It’s Amit Trivedi and his very soulful, blissful slow numbers. Sounds as if he’s just continuing on the journey of 'Lootera', and coming out of ‘Manmarziyaan’ and getting into ‘Pashmina’… It’s like hearing a Western classical melody (or probably a Soft Jazz, R&B - Rhythem & Blues genre), using acoustic guitar, violin, and Piano / Keyboards, with light drums and flute etc. to get into the mood of the situation (else he delivers only with strings – Guitar and Violins mostly and a bit of piano)

I’d like to watch it for one more reason – It’s the director Abhishek Kapoor of the beloved ‘Kai Po Che’. What a movie it was!!! I’m banking on this to be one of the best movies of 2016, visually enthralling, treat to the ears, and obviously for Katrina and Aditya and their performances. So if you are wondering how to celebrate the Valentines Day...Here it’s – Book 2 tickets for the weekend of 12 Feb. Spoiler is it may contain a bit of violence on the backdrop of Kashmir and, oh yes if you are still not sold on the movie, plz consider this - It’s an adoption of Charles Dickens ‘Great Expectations’ (second novel after ‘David Copperfield’) and ‘literally’ based on the plot / genre ‘Coming-of-an-age’ (bildungsroman), which is one of the most successful and widely adopted novels of Dickens, globally.
