While teaching about different types of letter "a" people write, I mentioned the Fiza a. I asked the students whether they had watched the movie fiza and to my surprise not a single person in the classroom except me had watched the movie. And so this blog for all my students.Khalid Mohammed, son of film actress Zubeida Begum is an Indian journalist, editor, film critic, screen writer and film director. He formerly worked for the Hindustan Times and was the lead editor for Filmfare magazine. He was well known as a film critic and it was said that if a movie gets four star rating from Khalid Mohamed the film becomes a superhit. In his duration as critic he gave five stars only to two movies Satya and Slumdog millionaire.
Having such a strong knowledge of Bollywood movies, it was assumed that Khalid would also be a successful screenplay director and director. He directed four movies. The first was fiza (2000)
Fiza was a box office flop. Although the casting and crew was the best in the industry. Hrithik Roshan had just given a Blockbuster Kaho naa pyaar hain thus the movie got a good start and expectations were raised. Everyone in the movie won awards for the performance. But the movie was a miserable flop.
It must have been a hard lesson for Khalid Mohammed. Finding mistakes in a movie for writing critic columns and scripting & directing a flawless movie is not the same.
Although, he could understand this only after actually writing and directing movies, this was clearly visible as the writing on the wall. Literally. Because the letter "a" used in the name of the movie "fiza" showed that he had bookish knowledge which was not practical.
A person who writes this kind of a has lot of bookish knowledge but when he tries to apply it actually he fails miserably.
