Families losing people, parents losing sons, sisters losing brothers and so on. This is a realistic portrayal of the consequences of war, violence, hatred, and the dehumanisation of people at times of a war. Kahalid Mohamed's Fiza is one gem of a movie.

Karisma who normally played the bimbette in Govinda films suddenly shifted to strong roles, here she proves she has more then just her screeching annoying weeping, she plays her role perfectly Bikram Saluja has a small role and is okay Jaya Bachchan is good, Neha is okay Manoj Bajpai who is her husband in real life does well but his role could be better, rest are okay

Hrithik Roshan showed that he was capable to carry off an authorbacked role and does a good job in this role as well, In just his second film he proved he was here to stay. Direction is mixed bag, good in several portions of the first half but weak in parts Music by Anu Malik was good, Mehboob Mere by Sunidhi Chauhan became a rage, Aaja Mahiya too is a good number, Tu Hawa Hai is superb but seems forced in the screenplay. There are several flaws in the second half, Manoj Bajpai's character seems sketchy, Also towards the end the script gets lose and the climax which seems straight from VAASTAV doesn't seem satisfying. Suddenly we have a song in a nightclub where Karisma who wears modest clothes suddenly wears fashionable outfits? Perhaps to keep the distributors and chawani crowd searching for glamour happy? Also some scenes seem integrated after KNPH to satisfy Hrithik fans. The film starts off well, Karisma's search for her brother is well handled, the flashback portions too are well handled but in the second half after Hrithik comes home, the plot stagnates.

It had Hrithik paired with Karisma but she playing his elder sister This was Khalid's debut as a director, Khalid Mohammed was a film critic and he turned director with this film. First of all it was an offbeat film something people were shocked about. Fiza was his second film after KNPH naturally people were overexcited but the film let people down. Hrithik suddenly became a superstar after Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000, we all know about that.
