When Shahrukh Khan signed this movie back in early 2014, HNY was about 6 months far and he had not even signed Dilwale that time. It was only due to absorbing effort required to finish the movie ,precisely being the involvement of prosthetics and heavy usage of VFX effects, it took close to 2 years to complete the project. Between this, Shahrukh khan gave us two of his most ridiculous, rubbish, silly, absurd and foolish movies HNY & Dilwale. These movies completely stole the faith his fans had in him and started to write him off which was quite justified. Because, this was not the Shahrukh Khan we all had grew up watching, surely not the one whom we adored him in movies like Swades & Chak De India. But amidst all this, I would not still blame Shahrukh Khan to the colossal entirety. It was the selection of directors by his production unit who are to be blamed for coming up with up such shoddy & half baked scripts. I would not refrain to say that Rohit Shetty & Farah Khan wasted three productive years of SRK. Given the fact the accumulated earnings of three movies Chennai Exp, HNY & Dilwale comes to around Rs 1500 Crores , his production company might have had tasted real financial success, but SRK in person in reality ended up incurring heavy losses in terms of depletion of his loyal fan base. Those fans who trusted him , trusted his skills, trusted his prowess and treated him as no less than living Almighty.

The very fact that SRK has always been a quality actor and his caliber is not worthy to be doubted gets proved because it was way before he got too commercialized, he had signed this movie. He is and always been a hard-working, dedicated & thorough professional and all he needed was a bunch of equally talented team of directors, script writers. It was the lack of efficient directors who led us deplete faith in him as an actor. We all started to doubt him as an actor and brought him on the brink of getting written off for eternity. And while the same was under process, we have been served with this brilliant, astonishing ,magnificent, glorious and breathtaking piece of cinematic display of acting prowess from the same man who we all were planning and waiting to write off!

Yes, FAN is such one movie which would help you restore your faith in SRK as an actor. The movie is not worthy for watching for its story or dialogues or screenplay or actor or VFX effects. One needs to watch this movie simply just to rebuild that lost confidence in Shahrukh Khan as an actor. The actor who holds a phenomenal record of winning Best actor award for record 8 times currently being shared with Veteran Actor Dilip Kumar. The actor who rose to stardom solely based on his acting skills, intense screen presence, sheer hard work and discipline.

FAN is not the greatest of the movies to come out in recent times and would surely not even in feature in Best 5 eventual movies of 2016. But it is the power packed display of skills, effervescence, energy, dedication, commitment, marvellous acting of Shahrukh Khan that which would always be remembered for years to come. At a demanding age of 50 ,his portrayal of Gaurav Chandna as crazy obsessive fan would surely put many 25 years old to acceptable shame.

To all those who are expecting the movie to be humorous, funny and an entertaining, please do not expect such things to happen. The movie is extremely intense, thrilling and jaw dropping!

10/10 for SRK -1/10 for Movie script (They could have made it little more entertaining)

Final Rating : 9/10
