Maneesh Sharma's 'Fan' is quite simply a Terrific Film about passion, dreams & obsession. And Shahrukh Khan, after years, delivers a powerful performance, enacting dual roles with superb conviction. 'Fan' isn't your ordinary Hindi Blockbuster, this one's a dark & heartbreaking tale, told correctly!

'Fan' Synopsis: Gaurav, a huge fan of movie star Aryan Khanna, heads to Mumbai in order to wish his Idol a happy birthday. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's obsession with Aryan crosses the line.

'Fan' is dark, racy, heartbreaking & entirely engrossing. You watch the fan-boy struggle to his meet his idol at first, only to later ruin him. Its a twisty tale about passion, dreams & obsession gone too far. The first-hour is light, with some really endearing moments, but its the second-hour, when the narrative gets dark & also a bit disturbing. What works in favor of 'Fan' is its consistently engaging pace & its never-ending pulse. Gaurav's story combines with Aryan & makes for a really unique, gripping experience.

Maneesh Sharma's Script is innovative, while Habib Faisal's Screenplay translates it into a terrific film. The Screenplay remains tight almost throughout, with the final 20-minutes taking the film to another level. The journey of its protagonist is told with energy & avoids stereotypical clichés. Also, 'Fan' is a song-less film & not for a minute, do you feel something's lacking. Maneesh Sharma's Direction is very well-done. 'Fan' is his finest film to date & the passion reflects on-screen from start to end. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is crisp, culminating the film within a sharp 140-minutes. Andrea Guerr's Background Score is excellent. Make-Up & VFX are flawless.

'Fan' wouldn't have been half of the film it is, without Shahrukh Khan's performance. The Superstar is in top-form after a long, long time. His portrayal of the fan-boy Gaurav is a marvel. Right form his body-language, his dialogue delivery, his mannerisms & also the way he cries (although some might find his sobbing annoying), is something to be seen. Even as Aryan, the superstar, Shahrukh delvers strongly. Its so good to see Shahrukh doing quality work & involving himself into roles that challenge him. 'Fan' is all about why we love our stars & Shahrukh's Powerful Performance makes us cheer for him once again. A True Comeback Performance!

On the whole, 'Fan' is a winner all the way. Its not a typical SRK film, but this is what an SRK film, especially at this point of his career, should be. Don't Miss It!
