silvan-desouza After ISHQ VISHQ success in 2003 Ken Ghosh returned with Shahid with a Abbas mustan type thriller FIDAThis is the first time that time Real life couple Shahid and Kareena were in a movie together and first time Kareena played a negative roleThe first half of the film is damn boring, everything is done to death the twist when Shahid agrees to rob a bank and the interval point is well handled but then the film gets even worst The game of one man upmanship is treated so badly and the film gets bad and bad and the climax too is too childishDirection by Ken Ghosh is a letdown Music is goodAmongst actors Shahid tries hard, in the initial reels where he plays a romantic lover he is okay but when his role gets serious he gets better but he hams it up towards the end especially in the end he apes Amitabh Bachchan and also in parts of 2nd half he apes SRK which he mostly did those days Kareena excels in her negative role Fardeen Khan too is good in his small role Amongst rest Akhilendra Mishra is crap kim Sharma is okay

Biswajit Tripathy Computer Hacker, Vikram, frames Jai Malhotra for this crime, and has him arrested, on condition that he will pay him 60 million rupees to pay for, Neha, his girlfriend's debts, to which Jai agrees. The bank account that was hacked is that of Babu Anna, a notorious Bombay criminal Don, who is engaged at this upstart for robbing him. He arranges to kill Jai when he is escorted to Court to be tried, but Jai manages to escape, only to find out that it was not only Vikram who framed him, but Neha also. This devastates Jai, and now he must run, not only from the police, but also Babu Anna's men, as well as his own memories.Jai (Shaheed Kapur) knows what kind of girl she wants to fall in love with. So it is but natural for him to fall in for Neha (Kareena Kapoor) when he meets her. He can do anything for Neha. But does Neha things that way too? He thinks there's is a perfect Mills and Boon Love story, but then life is not always that smooth. He has got something else in his fate.Vikram (Fardeen Khan) is a computer hacker who has hacked a bank account and transferred a lot of money to his account. He is looking for someone who can play the thief and surrender to the police as the thief. So what does Jai & Vikram have in common? Neha of course. Neha is in love with Vikram who pretends to be in love with Jai so that he could be framed in the bank robbery and they can live in peace. Then there is this Don whose money is stolen by Vikram. What will happen when Jai will know that Neha along with Vikram have framed him for the robbery? Will he take revenge? Or will he surrender to the Police and go to jail?

roysid I usually like dumb movies, provided they don't pretend they are something out of the world (eg. Jo Bole So Nihaal). The problem with "Fida" is that the makers think they have made some high tech movie, whereas this one is as dumb as possible.To start with, the hero Jai (Shaheed Kapoor) must be the dumbest of them all. When he sees Neha (Kareena Kapoor), he falls deeply in love (Even though he has Sonia (Kim Sharma) as his girlfriend). So much so, he empties a bottle of sleeping pills to get her love or death. Should have been busted then and there; would have saved himself and others lots of trouble.Sonia is intelligent enough to realize that she is stupid to love Jai. She promptly gets married and off to London. Good for her.Now the stupidity of filmmakers. At the very start a hacker siphons off a whooping Rs. 550 crore from the bank account of a don, Babu Anna(Akhilendra Mishra) and police can't do anything about it. As if banks allow so much transfer and money tracking is not possible.Akhilendra Mishra (if the name doesn't sound a bell was the famous "Krur Singh" in Chandrakanta) is a proper UP bhaiya who for some deadly acting reasons plays a Anna here. So here we have a Anna who dresses, has mannerisms like a North Indian. And tries to speak with a SouthIndian accent over his North Indian Hindi. Probably Akhilesh thinks he is Nana Patekar who have played both Anna in Parinda and a Bihari don in Apaharan, both great performances.Back to lover boy Jai. Neha tells him a cock-a-bull story of owing 6 crores to some bhai. Jai meets Vikram(Fardeen Khan), the hacker who will pay 6 crores but Jai must take on the crime allegation on his head.Jai takes the money, gives to Neha and surrenders himself to police. He escapes and finds then Neha is actually Vikram's girlfriend. Now you understand why he should have been busted long before.Anyway Jai feels bad and plots revenge which gives a lot more to display his dumbness...

W. K. An account belonging to a major underworld don has been hacked into, and has been totally wiped out (around 220 crores!). Cops, media, and the said don all are very upset. [Scene change] Boy (Shahid Kapur - new promising kid on the block) sees girl (Kareena Kapoor). Boy goes ga-ga over girl! Boy convinces girl she is the girl of his dreams. Girl embraces boy. Boy starts singing/dancing etc. After much songs - story goes for a twist. Girl has financial problems (around 6 crores worth). Boy decides to rob a bank. Boy goes to the bank, sees another dude (Fardeen Khan) withdrawing a huge amount from the bank (around 7 crores - how convenient!). Boy decides to steal from the dude. And so the twists pile up on twists with a final twist at the climax!Sounds thrilling? It cudda been!The best part about Fida is that it clocks in at an amazing 2 hours and some change (and the songs are easy on the ears too). But the proceedings tend to disappoint every time you think the excitement level is going to notch up a little. Pacing is uneven, and the performances are inconsistent. Shahid Kapur has good screen presence and is a hit with the ladies, but his future strictly depends on his shrugging off the SRK hangover. Kareena Kapoor and Fardeen Khan are just OK. Make no mistakes - this is a director's vehicle, and Ken Ghosh seems to have lost his enthusiasm for the project somewhere after the first few reels.
