Ken Ghosh’s ‘Fida,’ released twenty-one years ago, was a daring experiment in Hindi cinema. The film’s pace and short length were a departure from the norms. The film, with its captivating elements, combined commercial elements with innovation. ‘Fida’ featured Anu Malik’s music, glamorous visuals, and a cast including Kareena Kapoor and Fardeen Khan.
Ken Ghosh’s film broke the conventional narrative. The film delved into the themes of greed and amorality, with characters driven by their ambitions. The movie’s fast-paced storytelling and excellent cast performances kept audiences engaged. Kareena Kapoor’s depiction of a morally complex character added depth to the film. Kareena Kapoor has suggested that the film’s failure was due to audience expectations. The audience was perhaps unwilling to see her and Shahid Kapoor as adversaries, considering their real-life relationship at the time.
