Peter Young Fanaa was a commercial success upon its release a little less than a decade ago. It was Kajol's well-awaited comeback to movies after a five-year hiatus, and that's how it was mainly promoted. It was the first movie in which Kajol and Aamir Khan where pitted against each other, and sadly nothing between the two of them really works. There's little chemistry, little understanding, and the relationship is left to the big songs. In the end we are left with a story so feeble and uninteresting that one would wonder why the hack an actress of her caliber chose it. Fanaa is one of those pretentious potboilers which want to be seen as poetic but then they have so little to offer on their own. The story is melodramatic and unconvincing, and all the tough job is given to Kajol, of whom naturally so much was expected. And thankfully, she doesn't disappoint. Even within the limits of a weak script (and a badly written role), Kajol rises above it to deliver a heartfelt, fully complete performance. There's something about this lady - she comes across extremely real and does so little to convey big emotions. She is always relatable, and never a star. This movie really shows why this natural actress is one of the most popular in the country and appeals so much to the masses. And then we have Mr. Khan, who suddenly looks overly jaded and old, and the terrorist part of his character was so amusingly amateurish and poorly done that no one would take this nonsense character seriously anyway. Fanaa has nice music and no story, it also wastes the talent of Tabu, Rishi Kapoor and Kirron Kher. In the end, Kunal Kohli, who was responsible for the wonderful Hum Tum, disappoints big time with this silly, silly film.

Chrysanthepop 'Fanaa' may be the kind of film that looks good in paper but the execution to screen is just plain awful. Kunal Kohli 's movie looks like a parody of Mani Ratnam's classic 'Dil se'. Of course Kohli loads 'Fanaa' with too much 'masala' (spice) and sugar. For the most part the film is unintentionally funny with it's overdone action sequences, very badly written dialogues, syrupy romantic scenes, annoying background music, poor special effects and what not. After every few seconds, someone would be screaming 'Ya Maulaaaaa' in the background. The songs are pleasant to the ears but, with the exception of 'Mere Haath Mein' and maybe 'Des Rangeela', they are forgettable. I don't see what's so great about the overrated 'Chand Sifarish' which is constructed of horrendous lyrics albeit the tune is hummable. There are so many things in this movie for which Kohli cannot be easily forgiven but why on earth did an actress of Tabu's calibre agree to play such a terrible role instead of throwing the script at the director's face? This is among her worst career-choices. Aamir Khan is hilariously bad. His caricature terrorist does provide some unintentional laugh out loud moments especially in sequences where he's dramatic. Rishi Kapoor is equally ridiculous and annoying too. There is this child actor who makes you cringe so bad that you feel like strangling him or wishing that he had been thrown off the cliff along with Rishi Kapoor. The best thing about 'Fanaa' is Kajol who is the only person that acts plays her part with gusto and grace and the result is a fine performance. But how much can just one great performance can do for what is an overall horrendous boring film.

silvan-desouza Aamir Khan is a perfectionist but sometimes his films aren't that good for e.g. MANGAL PANDEY, FANAAFANAA has a good plot but the film is too clichédThe first half is too long, boringthe entire shayari bit and the love story is damn clichédThe interval point raises expectations but the way Aamir kills people in the snow.etc is too much but yet forgiven The film drags in the second half too and scenes get boring but yet the entire Aamir- Kajol track in the 2nd half is handled well even the climax but Rishi's death scene is too funnyDirection by Kunal Kohli is good in parts overall bad Music is good the only problem was DES RANGILA as Kajol danced like a girl who could seeAamir acts very well as the smooth operator and his helplessness is well handled by him but in the first half as the romantic lover he tends to be annoying and looks too old Kajol is good in her part in the second half and emotes very well though her role is too childish in first halfAmongst rest Shruti is good Rishi is excellent in his part, Kirron Kher is okay the child is alright Shiny is wasted
