Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

priyamalhotra I wonder how could Fanaa be such a great film.After 10 years of its release I saw it & I m spellbound. Kajol has looked the most beautiful ever in this film & Aamir is so charming.You actually fall for Rehan specially those Shayari sequences.Kajol & Aamir were brilliant as usual & their chemistry is so great.While watching Fanaa I didn't realize I was watching Kajol & Aamir.They transformed into Zooni & Rehan completely.Thanx Kunal Kohli.Its even better than HT.Tabu Rishi Kapoor & Kirron Kher were great.Music is so beautiful & background music is too good & suits the film so much.Everything is great about this film.I just wished Zooni had not shot Rehan in the climax.A painful yet a beautiful story.Zooni & Rehan spent some 7-9 days in Delhi & some 9-10 days in the second half.Yet they loved each other.I actually started believing in love after watching Fanaa.Go & watch it if u haven't.You will be smitten.Kajol & Aamir's best performance according to me.And yes they have become my favorites.Wish they come back in a film soon.

sumanbarthakursmailbox 'Fanaa' is at best worth one watch.But, what makes 'Fanaa' watchable is Aamir Khan and Kajol, both of who rise above the limitations of the script and show glimpses of their histrionic genius. But the movie offers nothing stellar, nothing extraordinary The main fault of 'Fanaa' happens to be its script. The shayari in the first half is a bit overdone. Even the dialogues are a bit too filmi than real. And in the second half, the lines given to Kajol's son are poorly written, ineffective and lack subtlety. Kunal Kohli has not been able to extract a performance out of the child artist and most of the sequences involving him end up looking superficial.Kajol's performance is particularly superb.Aamir, as expected, delivers a noteworthy performance. On the sidelines, Kiron Kher and Rishi Kapoor are natural. Tabu's dialogue delivery has a hint of her Hyderabadi background, and that is a downer. Lara Dutta and Shiny Ahuja appear in cameos of few seconds.

iftikharkhokher Whilst i agree that the film is well directed,has a fine script and has wonderful performances from the main stars i am totally taken aback and disgusted at the false ideals that are presented in it.In short the film is a mockery of the struggle of the Kashmiri nation and a defilement of the Kashmiri woman.Kashmir is fighting for its freedom from Indian occupation and atrocities that are indescribable.There is no Kashmiri woman or man who will put the glory of India before the life of a Kashmiri man no matter if he is a terrorist or not.Whoever conceived this idea is either a fool or an enemy of Kashmir.Show me a Kashmiri who is loyal to India and i will show you a traitor.Perhaps Aamir Khan knew this.He is very restrained and sullen throughout the film.Kajol looks more a Bombayite than a Kashmiri and Rishi Kapoor is also unsuitable.We know that Bollywood always take the leaf and goods from Hollywood but whereas Hollywood is renowned for exposing the naked and painful truth Bollywood tends to twist reality to suit the ideals of the Indian state.India has long hid the facts about Kashmir, failed to honour its policies including the one of leaving the Kashmiris to decide their own fate and this film is just another example of hoodwinking the West and ignorant minds in the sub-continent.What better then to do it through the screen idol of the millions...the mighty Khan!I wonder whether he is aware that millions of Kashmiri women have been raped,looted and murdered by Indian troops.So much for Bollywood glory!.

caviar_sand Fanaa had a lot of marketing hype - the reclusive Aamir paired with Kaajol on a comeback. Music which was blared repeatedly out of various channels and the neighborhood paanwala and your obnoxious auto driver and the yuppies whose car would blare out 'subahnalla' which is the defining song in the movie. The terrorist who falls in love or the love story of a terrorist had good potential - instead it becomes just another Hollywood pot boiler whose basic idea - a Lone Wolf Killer-cum-terrorist on the prowl who falls in love - is A DIRECT COPY OF 'THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE'. In fact Rishi Kapoor's death scene and the subsequent scene are shot by shot copies.Picture this : Kajol has just seen the dead body of her father and rushes to Aamir who blithely lies that her father is drinking with his buddy Satish Shah. This is a direct copy of Donald Sutherland's Needle telling Kate Nelligan's Lucy that her husband David (Christopher Cazenove) is drunk - just when Lucy has picked out David's dead body. This seems to be too obviously the long arm of co-incidence. Sharad Saxena and Tabu are a combined duo equivalent of Ian Bannen's Colonel Godliman who are chasing Rehan/ The Needle.So whats good? Obviously the superb performances by Aamir Khan and Kajol as star crossed lovers caught in events not of their making. Rishi Kapoor is also superb as Kajol's father - here is an actor whose subtle performance was not drawn out in his heydays as he was usually typecast as the guitar toting singing teenager. These three performances redeem the otherwise dismal movie which would have sunk without a trace . Not to speak of needless controversies promoted by the fascist Right Wing against the movie in Gujarat.
