This week on “Watchlist with Jyotika”
Join us as we dive into the 2000 Hindi film Fiza — a gripping tale of loss, loyalty and the price of justice set against the backdrop of the 1993 Bombay riots. Directed by Khalid Mohamed and starring Karisma Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Jaya Bachchan, Fiza follows a sister’s desperate search for her missing brother — only to find him entrenched in a militant organisation.
We’ll explore how the film blends mainstream Bollywood appeal with heavy socio-political themes, the standout performances (especially by Karisma Kapoor), and why this movie still feels relevant today.
Tune in for a fun, filmy conversation — perfect for nostalgia seekers, Bollywood buffs and anyone curious about how the “issue film” meets commercial cinema.
