There has been put a viewpoint by most critics that the film would be liked by only the fanatics of SRK. I beg to differ. Why? Because the film, by all means, is worth a watch by an average ordinary cine-goer. Only SRK haters will find unnecessary reasons to dislike it or perhaps, the loyal Salman fans. Inside the theater u could point out those loyal ones who did not leave an opportunity to laugh out loud every time Gaurav's character felt pain and agony coz it wasn't too unrealistically macho like how they see in a 'bhai' film.

But sticking to this film i would say there wasn't a scene in the movie which felt out of place or looked too unrealistic. Never for once would u question the implausibility of the chain of inter-connected events in the movie. Although. some cinematic liberty has been taken but that is avoidable.

You never feel bored and that is when there isn't a song in the film which otherwise, is often put in the movies to cover its weakness for a bad storyline. A lot of people are saying that Gaurav's character overshadowed Aryan's character but that's just Gaurav being a strong character as the film revolves around him but, go and see for yourself that SRK has put an equal effort and hard work in Aryan's role as well. Both leave an impact in the end. This is the first film in which i saw audience glued to their seats even when the film ended. i guess, they were anticipating something more. Such is impact the film had on them.

Its a thriller with some good amount of action where 2 roles are performed so well that sometimes u completely forget it is the same actor. The chase sequences deserve a big thumbs up. The action doesn't leave you dissatisfied and there could have been only that much action coz it isn't an action film.

It would be the first time where family audience are flocking to cinema theaters to see an action-thriller. Otherwise, its the usual song and over- the-top punch lines which lures the family audience. All because there was some degree of honesty in the film that is 'Fan'. Do watch it
