One night Amaan goes out into the riot-stricken streets of Bombay and disappears. Amaan (Hrithik Roshan) lives with his mother (Jaya Bachchan) and sister Fiza (Karishma Kapoor).
#Fiza song meaning full#
I watched Fiza last night and even though it was full of songs and was let down slightly by the second half, I was amazed to find a film dealing with the Bombay Hindu/Muslim riots of 1993 and it's consequences on a Muslim family. But, having watched a few (subtitled) films shown as part of an Indian season over here in the UK, I've started to change my mind. Aman dies saying the first Kalma in Islam, "La illa ha ill Allah, Mohammad dur Rasullalah" - not really watched Bollywood films, since the days of the action movies of the 70's & 80's, I wasn't really interested in watching the more recent offerings from Bollywood, since I assumed they were mostly love stories and were full of songs which had no reason for being there. After much persuasion Fiza kills her brother. They confront each other and with the police closing in on him, he asks her to kill him.
Aman has been sent on a mission to kill two powerful politicians when he does succeed in assassinating them, his own terrorist group tries to kill him. Fiza tries once more to find her brother, with the help of Anirudh (Bikram Saluja). His mother's grief and disappointment eventually lead her to commit suicide. A confrontation with two men who harass Fiza leads to Aman revealing his involvement with the terrorist network in front of his sister, mother and the police. However his allegiance and thoughts make him want to join the terrorist network, led by Murad Khan (Manoj Bajpai). She forces him to come home, and he finally re-unites with their mother (played by Jaya Bachchan). When she does find him, to her horror she sees that he has joined a terrorist group. A song makes you feel a thought.” ~ E.Y.Six years after Fiza's (Karisma Kapoor) brother, Aman (played by Hrithik Roshan) disappears during the 1993 Mumbai riots, she goes to look for him. Gulzar’s poetry is something which one can only feel if they dive into the wordings …I wish I could help my non-hindi speaking friends understand these :D, but hope music lovers will enjoy it anyway ) I have added songs from the movies Ghar & Ijaazat. “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” ~ Vince Lombardi A story book for children Ekta received an award from the National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) in 1989. Gulzar is also the author of books on poetry, a book of short stories and a dozen books for children. He has also won the Filmfare Award a number of times. This includes winning the National Award thrice - Best Screenplay for Koshish, Best Director for Mausam and Best Lyricist for Ijaazat. Gulzar has been honoured time and again for his work. “The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. He is one of those sensitive people whose work is laced with the lyrical but psychologically adept examination of human sensibilities. His style marks a sensitivity that is best reflected through his writing and treatment of films. Saampooran Singh Kalra, better known by the pen name of Gulzar, is a poet above all things.
“Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.”
Today I dedicate this post and my radio blog to Gulzar. I have often mentioned about my favorite poet Gulzar, however I never added his songs on my radio blog and I kind a always felt guilty about it!!!
