The reviews for Fan were mixed but it was supposed to be a thriller and of course Shahrukh Khan is a great actor, so I watched this movie eventually.

The plot is different and interesting. A crazy obsessive fan of SRK feels slighted one day and thereafter sets about making life impossible for him. Shahrukh Khan in the double role, has done a superb job. The sets of the seedy hotel, Mannat, Gaurav the fan's ordinary lower middle class locality etc. were realistic and well done.

Where the film disappointed was in the excessively stretched out stunts. There must be a section of the audience for whom these are directed. The stunt sequences are undoubtedly slick but went on and on a bit too much. I felt the movie could have easily been cut short by a good thirty minutes. Since I was watching a DVD I had the luxury of the fast forward button. Oh, and after seeing Fan, there is no need to visit Dubrovnik which has been covered in every nook and corner in a stunt sequence :)

Nonetheless, Fan is an eminently watchable movie, something different.
