Fanaa

Despite the story being predicted even before the movie released, despite it being the same old wine in new bottle, there's something about this movie that can keep you glued to the seats till the end. Never mind the stretchful watch post intermission. The 3.0 credit goes to this movie solely because of the director Kunal Kohli.


Story: Rehan meets Zooni and cupid strikes them. Nothing stops them - neither Rehan's flirty nature nor Zooni's blindness. But Rehan has other promises to fulfill. He leaves Zooni... and after 7 years, when Rehan accidentally knocks her door, she shouts 'Rehan'... Zooni has her sight back but has lost her mother. But everything is forgiven and forgotten as old flames revive. But Rehan needs to leave for one last time... will Zooni let him go?

Rishi Kapoor needs no proof that he is a brilliant actor. It's refreshing to see Kajol after a long time and she meets her expectations. Aamir Khan looks aged in front of Kajol but his acting skills show more maturity with every performance he delivers. Tabu is, however, wasted in a miniscule role.

A Yashraj movie and good cinematography, good locales are free with your purchase of entertainment ticket. Kunal Kohli has not done a marvelous job but it's not bad either. In short, it would not be easy for him to get a Filmfare nomination.

There are certain scenes in the movie which are just superb. The scene where Kajol discovers that her father is dead has been brilliantly executed. Though the songs lack freshness, they have been picturized well.

Do not expect much from this movie but just watch it for time-pass entertainment. In short,

Hum na jhel paate shaayad
Agar junoon na hota aapka
Shyaad na karpaate hum
Itne paise bhi fir fanaa
