Ken Ghosh has copied the story of Fida from a British film "Following" (1998) Director by the great Christopher Nolan, same guy who made Memento (2000) , Inception (2010). He has changed the story by 10 % actually Indian zed it and but his mark on this. He has also credited himself as the writer of the story, how can people just copy and call the film their. I suggest u guys watch the original film "Following" (1998) you will really like it. The following is shot in B/W its made in 1998 and he could easily make the film in color but chose to shoot the same in B/W, as but you don't really need color as I feel the story is more important then the visual effects. The film is simple and you can feel the master filmmaker in the making I only have line for Fida director
. And Mr Ken Ghosh u r sick
Sherazade
the drop dead gorgeous figure who sweeps men off their feet with her beauty, and drives a man to want to commit suicide over her. Um, okay it might look good on the page of a script but does not translate well on the screen when people like Kareena portray it. What ever happened to the likes of Diya Mirza, Aishwarya, Preity Zinta and others, heck! I would have even settled for Rani or Esha Deol! Kareena just killed it for me. I saw her in that role of the DDG siren and I just couldn't suspend my disbelief long enough to follow the rest of the plot. Something about an internet bank heist and the stupid guy who falls in love with her takes the fall even while being innocent. Come on now Bollywood! You had a good script but the casting department should have seen better than Kareena Kapoor, or wait, did she use her famous surname to get this role too? Now why doesn't that surprise me. No Fida for me please!

Ken Ghosh & Shahid Kapur hit the lime-light with Ishq-Vishk. The eyes of the industry were eagerly awaited on their next venture namely Fida.The director's intentions I am sure was to do away with the usual Bollywood masala of boy-meets-girl romance kinds. The theme was indeed innovative and had definite potential but.... yes BUT sadly the director did not hold the reigns well. Shahid-Kareena love story moves like a knight on the chessboard. The suicide attempt of Shahid depicted is quite amateurish for a serious theme like this. Plot opens up quite quickly and the rest is cat-and-mouse game. From a chocolaty boy Shahid rapidly transforms into SRK of Darr managing to survive every time - strange!!! Last but the not the least - the villain who is supposed to be a don was nothing short of an utter rubbish cartoon character mouthing Hindi dialogues with worst ever South Indian accent. Bottomline: no effort was made to develop the characters.Saving grace: stylish Fardeen..... suits his role well. The song pictured on Kareena-Fardeen lingers for a while, the others make a rapid evaporation.Ken - you can do better than this!

The tagline of this movie is aptly kept: "Not all love stories have the perfect ending." The opening scene is interesting with an Internet hacker transferring a gargantuan sum of money from a underworld don's bank account to a Swiss bank account. The innocent, naive Shahid Kapoor falls in love at first sight with Kareena. At first, the film seems very melodramatic and filmi, but that is later understandable after a startling fact is revealed. Fardeen was decent, and Kareena was good. Shahid's performance was amazing.We've already seen that he's an awesome dancer; he's an even better actor now. He's definitely going to go places. Songs are good, especially "Aaja Ve Mahi" and "Maine Jisko Chaha." The story is very different. It's a good story, but it's not very entertaining. This movie is a drama basically, and the different ending leaves you with the feeling of a Hollywood film.
