Fanaa Reviews

Fanaa is a complex movie. Aamir Khan has continued his trend of working on unusual plots and delivering extraordinary performances and Kajol has outshone Aamir Khan on many occasions in the movie. The emotional intensity of the movie gets to the core of the viewer's heart. It may help people to look at the Kashmir issue from a different angle but it does certainly portray one fact, and that is a seemingly ruthless terrorist can actually be a simple and kind man fighting for his land's freedom. For him, making judgement on greater good or lesser evil is a constant struggle. Even though Rehan Qadri (Aamir Khan) did not derail from his cause (terorrism apparently) till the last breath in his body, he will draw sympathy from the viewers. The splendor of light, sound and colors in big budget Hindi movies is achieving new heights every day. Viewers will be simply spellbound to the screen during most of the song sequences. The music of the movie was like a breath of fresh air. The viewers will also enjoy a ride of convincing and innovative action sequences. The first half of the movie could have been made better though. Sometimes the pace felt a little off. The constant exchange of poetry did feel irritating at times. Overall the movie is certainly worth watching and, compared to most of the Hindi movies, quite a unique one.

A great movie. Fascinating love story with intriguing story plots. Aamir Khan, Kajol, and Tabu are all remarkable in this movie. Great music.

some scenes are a bit extreme, and aamir isn't as hot as he used to be, but the cinematography and the music are AMZING. STUNNING

The sheer exuberant star power of this movie's early scenes of romance and lip-syncing among the national monuments is irresistible.

Time pass, with a very interesting plot twist at intermission. Otherwise many parts seem a bit unrealistic.

kajol makes the perfect come-back with a movie that has emotions in all range n variation.. n Khan has usual CHArms to sweeping the viewer off his feet .. CHArisMa of the TItANs..

If this Indian movie has 100%, I wonder what a bad Indian movie is like. OMG, the acting is pathetic, the photography attrocious and the climax fight is so ridiculous, where the victim of our hero/villain soars at 1 mph, instead of free falling, through a 20 degree incline like a balloon, while waving goodbye to our hero ... Not worth it.

This is an indian movie thats unique to the likes of Hollywood in a good way. Great performance from Aamir and Kajjol!

I've watched a fair amount of Bollywood, this is by FAR the worst one I've ever seen and that's saying something. It was so bad, it actively made me angry. It seems like one movie and then changes at one point into this totally different movie and the ending his pointless and horrible! I can put up with some bad or sad endings in Bollywood if the rest of the movie is really good or really beautiful, this movie is not that, don't waste your time. This movie BITES. Go watch Devdas or "Rab ne bana di jodi" or even "Om Shanti Om" instead.

Half the honors go to Aamir & his leading lady; half the dishonors go to the really bizarre plot. Music=disposable. Go watch 'Lagaan' again instead.
