"Fan" only focuses on plain entertainment but fails to make sense. Given a good idea, the film could've been much better if they developed the main character deeper, instead of silly action scenes, where SRK chases Gaurav, jumping roofs, and other nonsense. Many inconsistencies and plotholes there. For example, in the 2nd half, Gaurav confuses everybody that he is SRK-star, but why then does nobody mistake him for a star in the 1st half? C'mon, the guy managed his own internet cafe, and there was a girl who liked him for something, and he seems to like her. So there was some personal story of his, which was left untold. What caused him to be so obsessed, and what kind of obsession was it? Don't tell me star duplicates are crazy, that's not true. Too bad Gaurav is left misunderstood because he could have related to so many fans out there. Instead, the movie resources are wasted on exotic locations and needless SRK-SRK fighting.

The ending is stupid as well. "You won't understand" are the last words of Gaurav, and he falls with a smile on his face... Really, what exactly should we understand from the climax? Was it love, sorrow, jealousy, or inability to self-identify? Or was it the star Alter Ego that he saw in Gaurav?

If the movie tried to appeal to a common sense of fans, then it failed to connect. If the movie tried to appeal to famous people by asking them to be more attentive to their fans (because crazy lookalikes may destroy your life), it failed as well because the situation is more cartoonish than realistic. If the movie tries to demonstrate the 3D face modeling technique, they succeeded, but it would be more appropriate in Jab Tak Hai Jaan (to make SRK look 20 years younger) than here. Was it really necessary to make a guy lookalike? Are star lookalikes supposed to be obsessed with their famous "originals"?

And wouldn't it be better to have a female fan character instead of a guy? She would be jealous of his wife and tried to make SRK hers. It would be more relatable and expected.

Many good points are in this movie, but it failed to connect. With the resources, the filmmakers could have done a much deeper and more mature movie.
