Fiza (Hindi: फ़ीज़ा, Urdu: فیزا) is a 2000 Indian film directed and written by Khalid Mohammed. The film stars Jaya Bachchan, Karisma Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. Although the film failed at the box office, it was well acclaimed by critics. Originally Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan were supposed to have cameo appearances, but their scenes were removed due to considerations about the length of the running time.

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. When she does find him, to her horror she sees that he has joined a terrorist group.

She forces him to come home, and he finally re-unites with their mother (played by Jaya Bachchan). However his allegiance and thoughts make him want to join the terrorist network, led by Murad Khan (Manoj Bajpai). 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. His mother's grief and disappointment eventually lead her to commit suicide.

Fiza tries once more to find her brother, with the help of Anirudh (Bikram Saluja). 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. He escapes and Fiza follows him. They confront each other and with the police closing in on him, he asks her to kill him. After much persuasion Fiza kills her brother. Aman dies saying the first Kalma in Islam, "La illa ha ill Allah, Mohammad dur Rasullalah"

The film was critically acclaimed but did not do well at the box office. Audiences praised the three lead performances. Karisma Kapoor in particular was applauded for her performance as a disillusioned sister.[1] She also won the IIFA Best Actress Award for her performance as did Jaya Bachchan in the best supporting actress category. They also both won Filmfare Awards in the best actress and best supporting actress categories.

The movie was also the main winner at the BFJA Awards, taking the Best Director for Khalid Mohammed, Best Actor for Hrithik Roshan, Best Actress for Karisma Kapoor and Best Supporting Actress for Jaya Bachchan.[2]
