At the 46th Filmfare Awards, Fiza received eight nominations, including Best Actor for Roshan. The film won two–Best Actress for Kapoor and Best Supporting Actress for Bachchan. It is regarded by many critics as a career best performance of Karisma Kapoor alongside Zubeida where she also played the title role as a Muslim protagonist.[2][3][4] It is also considered one of the best women oriented films in Bollywood praised for having a strong willed and determined female protagonist as a sister searching desperately for her brother; a rarity in most Bollywood films where leading ladies are relegated to the background.[5][6][7][8]
