Fitoor (English: Passion, Obsession) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Abhishek Kapoor, produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, and written by Kapoor and Supratik Sen based on Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations.[6] The film features Tabu, Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif in leading roles.[7] Filming began in Kashmir in November 2014.[8] The film was released on 12 February 2016.[9]

Plot

Noor (Mohammed Abrar) a thirteen-year-old Kashmiri boy from a poor family, meets and becomes deeply infatuated with Firdaus (Tunisha Sharma), the daughter of a rich elite family in Kashmir that employs him. Firdaus' mother, Begum (Tabu), was left heartbroken in her youth and disapproves of Noor's feelings thanks to his low social status. Despite this, Noor and Firdaus grow closer until Begum sends Firdaus abroad for school, insulting Noor as he breaks the news.

Years later, Noor (Aditya Roy Kapur) receives a prestigious art scholarship and moves to Delhi, where he encounters Firdaus (Katrina Kaif) again. By this time she is engaged to Bilal (Rahul Bhat), a Pakistani diplomat, but Noor's feelings have not changed and they begin a relationship. After initial friction with Noor, who by this time is a successful artist, Begum slowly starts to realise her mistake, but is still adamant that Firdaus should marry Bilal. Begum orders Firadus to marry Bilal against her will. A Flashback of Begum and her lover who left her pregnant and ran away with all her jewels showed why she insisted to make Firdaus marry Bilal and let go of her love. Noor travels for an art show in London where he finds out that the art scholarship was given by Moazam (Ajay Devgn), a terrorist he saved when he was young, and not by Begum as he thought. Upset that he has been merely a pawn in Moazam's scheme and realizing that Begum has been playing him all along, Noor confronts Begum in London where she denies manipulating him and bursts into a fit of rage for her former lover Mufti and Noor realizes that she has been seeking redemption by breaking his heart. Noor goes back to the gallery and burns his art work which was related to the memory of Firdaus. A Flashback of Begum showed that her lover left her pregnant and she loses her baby and Firdaus is her adopted daughter. Begum wakes up distraught and commits suicide. At her funeral, Firdaus opens her pendant to find Mufti's picture in it with Begum's and realizes that Begum could never get over her true love for Mufti. With this realization, Firdaus leaves Bilal and reunites with Noor.
