So my birthday film was Fitoor, along with a tasty Indian feast from Royal Taj. It was enjoyable.
It starts scenically in Kashmir, where it takes a shocking turn (see the explosion in the trailer?). This is a modern Islamic take, with lots of liberties like no Xmas. It's only loosely inspire by the book. It moves to Delhi and then London. Lots of musical interludes but no dance numbers. Some very subtle nods to the book but in the end, it's a completely different story. It's artsy and romantic and I totally called the twist ending (really it's only a twist if you cling to the original). Stacy said she liked it but maybe it was because it was my birthday.
No sword fights. Not DOOM recommended.
