One of those movies where the lead actor comes ahead to save the day in spite of a lousy & lame screenplay and direction . Shah Rukh Khan went back to his good old days of early 90's playing a menacing anti hero with The Fan Gaurav's character, and he delivered his best . His subtle act as the star Aryan Khanna was alright too. Talking about the director Maneesh Sharma , he was brave to attempt such a subject but it felt liked he worked on some parts of it way too casually . The second half was uninteresting and doesn't do full justice with a well built first half that showed a starstruck Gaurav & then his heartbreak. The film falls flat in quite a few places , more so in the second half which had a lot of WTF moments , like both Star & Fan chasing each other on the roofs of the houses ( where were Aryan's bodyguards ? ) , The VFX modified fan's teeth which magically turned a lot shorter when he had to become an impostor of the star , Superstar Aryan Khanna running around on the roads of Delhi without anyone bothering him which is not possible in India. Also felt that the movie was 15-20 Min's. too long , A better editing was required to make an edge of the seat thriller. An important aspect of a thriller ,it's climax , could've been better and an unpredictable one than what we were served with.

Still a good one time watch though , especially for SRK's act.
