'Fitoor' tweet review: Despite a good star cast, the film doesn't match up to 'Great Expectations'

Ever since director Abhishek Kapoor announced his new film 'Fitoor' it has created news. First for its unique cast, then Tabu coming on board after Rekha decided to leave the shoot mid way, and post the release of its trailer, for the lead pair Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapoor's sizzling chemistry.

Based on Charles Dickens classic 'Great Expectation' , Fitoor is based in Kashmir and is primarily a love story. Abhishek Kapoor's previous film 'Kai Po Che' had received rave reviews and incidentally was based on Chetan Bhagat's book.

Creating a film based on a classic is never easy but Kapoor's past work makes us want to believe that 'Fitoor' will be memorable. Shomini Sen of IBNLive.com was inside the theater to live tweet the experience of 'Fitoor'.
