Scavenger Hunt 46 | Task 25 - something with MUSIC, FROM OVERSEAS
I love Hrithik Roshan with every fibre of my soul but Karisma Kapoor stole the movie, her performance was incredible. I did find that the first half of the movie was much stronger than the second half. The plot was really great though. I also felt the songs did not really work with the movie but I still enjoyed it.
Back in 2008, a YouTube video quickly spread through my friend group: a cherrypicked Bollywood song-and-dance number from an unidentified film, with accurate subtitles swapped out for nonsensical, often vulgar “misheard” lyrics. The unrelenting silliness left us in pain from laughing so hard. As the years went by the song’s tune never fully left my head, and I could recall the costumes and dance moves more clearly than those immature faux lyrics. 12 years later I finally had the access and an excuse to watch the elusive film from which this early meme was born - Fiza, a work I’ve learned has plenty of silliness, with pure darkness lurking behind every corner.
The two most important things in Fiza’s life…
I had read that the director of Fiza had originally planned for it to be more of a serious arthouse film, but then after Hrithik Roshan became a huge star due to the release of Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, he changed the film to include more Roshan scenes and added more musical numbers and comedic moments to turn it into more of a typical Bollywood blockbuster. That made absolute sense to me, because the finished product feels like exactly that: the storyline and significant dramatic scenes are often interrupted by sudden comic relief or standalone song performances that have no connection to the rest of the film. That being said, it's a decent enough movie with good acting from its stars, especially Karisma Kapoor in one of her better performances.
Good old Bollywood which was more interested in the songs and the hero flexing his muscles despite having a sensitive premise, chartbuster songs though
How is a movie which released in 2000 still relevant and applicable and relatable in 2020?
if you want a dramatic movie that will make you cry throughout and burn w anger at how corrupt the government is, this is the movie for you
NANGIS BANGET. Bahaya dah nonton beginian malam-malam mewek parah gw. Penampilan Karishma paling bagus yang pernah gue tonton. Dari matanya aja kita bisa ngerasain kepedihan yang lagi dia alamin. Recommended bgt bgt! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This movie had so much potential but it was ruined with songs and dances. I’m not against dance numbers at all, but it just doesn’t fit in certain plots. This movie had one of those plots, where it just didn’t make sense.
I agree with a lot of the criticisms written here regarding the screenplay and the direction, but overall watching this film was an engaging and at times very moving experience for me. The real hero here is definitely Karisma Kapoor who gives one of the best performances I've ever seen in a Bollywood movie. Some of her more emotional scenes sent shivers down my spine.
That being said, I would love to see an edit of this film that leaves out Hrithik Roshan's workout scene. God that shit was uncomfortable to watch...

Where: Netflix
How: a very good and a relevant story..but let down by poor writing in the dramatic portions and some forcefully injected songs
