FAN- PERSONAL FILM REVIEW DISCLAIMER: (This is an unbiased and personal film review and should be treated as personal perception only). FAN seems like an outrageous emotional roller-coaster; quite loose in scripting; especially the second part & over dramatic than expected, predictive in inference. When watching the film all should be swayed away in the emotional and enticing journey of Gaurav (junior) who believes in monotheism and his god none other than SUPERSTAR Aryan khanna (senior); both enacted by SRK. Till intermission the film seems to be at its best and is immensely engaging. The second part, unfortunately starts to loose its plot and the script is in bits and pieces. More the story progresses, more the count of yawns are visible. Peculiar to its own credit, the film seems to be directed by two separate directors- part 1 by the creative genius we experienced in 'Band Baaja Baarat' who builds the plot and takes it to a level of what we call a "good film" & part 2 by the one who destroys the same good film into a so called 'filmy version of Tom & Jerry'. Sadly, much better expected from a director like Maneesh Sharma; Namrata Rao could have done more of the good editing stuff as in kahaani and Band Baaja.. & lastly Habib should have spread his magic a bit more in the screenplay rather than loitering around the same predictive melodrama. PROS-Excellent acting by SRK(Gaurav's part to look out for), Vishal-Shekhar's crisp music, interesting first half (which will at least save half of your ticket charge!!) and some touchy dialogues to remember! CONS- Making a film with such strong acting & such loose scripting is itself a crime ( a more villainous crime than Gaurav beating up Sid Kapoor) Scores: On a scale of 10 Acting- 8.75 (there is always scope for doing better when other casts are involved) Music- 7 (hummable and catchy) Editing- 5 (no answers to how Gaurav got so much of money by selling a cyber cafe that he can reach & stay luxuriously abroad in exotic locales for days to take his revenge, where from Gaurav learns to pass the fake ID check (that also abroad, not in India), and what the half baked characters do after Gaurav's sudden death?! Screenplay - 3 (Nothing to express in writing) Overall, FAN certainly seems to try hard to be on the same footsteps of DARR, but SRK's great performance cannot save the day, making this film "AN ENDLESS CHASE OF NOTHINGNESS" :( My heartfelt condolences for the cute Gaurav and those who went to see the film! ;)
