1. Overview & Core Identity Fitoor (English: "Obsession") is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic 1861 novel, Great Expectations . However, it transplants the story from Victorian England to the stunning, conflict-ridden landscapes of Kashmir and the elite art world of Delhi. The film is less a thriller and more a poetic, tragic romance that prioritizes visual symbolism and melancholic atmosphere over fast-paced storytelling. fitoor
