Fitoor box office collections: Also, the film was not surrounded by any controversy that would have put it at the front and centre of national attention, but this factor does not always work and can have negative repercussions too – for instance, Sunny Leone’s Mastizaade was not helped by the publicity immediately ahead of the release of the film and Shahrukh Khan’s Dilwale was greeted by many protests, which limited its intake at the B.O. The fact that Fitoor has a restricted run in under 1,500 screens is also a big limiting factor. (Bollywood Hungama)

Fitoor movie, which stars the stunning Katrina Kaif and the hunky Aditya Roy Kapur, was one of the most anticipated movies in Bollywood. Kaif has a legion of fans and she has been in the news for various reasons, especially her personal life, and all of this should have led to huge crowds at theaters. And these facts had driven predictions about the movie sky high, but the formula, did not fire at all. Fitoor is based on a classic novel, the magnum opus ‘Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens. From forbidden love, to betrayal and class struggle, the novel has been wowing the world for over a 100 years. Sadly, its greatness has not rubbed off onto the Bollywood film. (Bollywood Hungama)

5. Fitoor’s lead pair Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif have the entire responsibility of carrying the film on their ‘able’ shoulders – it has been billed as an emotional roller-coaster rise. Great visuals mark the film out.
