This was definitely one of the most interesting films I have seen in recent times and while its not perfect, its certainly a heck of a lot more worth watching than a lot of nonsense big hits that other stars and even SRK has participated in. The story is fairly simple but what is great is that it explores the whole idea of the relationship between Fans and stars. Not just movie stars, but any sort of public celebrity. I have seen first hand how crazy seemingly sane people become when they meet their favorite celebrities. That's why this film's Gaurav is less a villain and more a tragic figure. Outside of his obsession, he seemed like a genuinely likable and lovable man. But obsession is a dangerous thing and that's what this film goes into. It turns normal people into monsters. What is great is the star is a fascinating character too? He is normal in a way we don't imagine? He has a family and friends, he's cocky and arrogant, he gets angry and hurt. It all feels very human. And that's what makes the cat and mouse game so interesting. The tragedy of the characters is that the difference between the crazy person that Gaurav becomes and the good normal person he could have become is a matter of several "ifs". If only Aryan or Gaurav had made one other decision, things could have been so different.

SRK is on fire in this film. Its definitely his best work since CDI and RNBDJ in terms of character. There are several scene that just stand out. Like the scene where Aryan and Gaurav first meet, when Gaurav comes inside Aryan's house, when Aryan imitates Gaurav. He's the lifeblood of this film and is on screen from beginning to end. He delivers a performance of boundless manic energy as Gaurav, and with slick charm as Aryan. Nobody else really has much of a role which is fine. The movie becomes a bit over the top towards the end but its constantly gripping, which is what helps. I doubt this will be a huge hit because it doesn't have any romantic or musical elements but I am very glad because this movie didn't need those elements. A very strong 8/10.
