Review on FANAA - 29th May 06

Fanaa - There are so many loopholes in this movie, that it is destined to be fanaa'ed !! Of course,the BO collection will say otherwise.Die hard fans of the stars/banner may still rave about this tasteless fare...Post the phenomenal performance by Rani in BLACK, the benchmark set for the portrayal of a blind person has gone so high, that it is really difficult for any1 to match it.The movie has wafer thin characters, who mouth cliche'ridden dialogues...

There are moments in the movie, which shows lack of sensitivity towards the blind.How a conservative muslim blind girl, gets ready for a one night stand is baffling ! Lots of cinematic liberties have been taken, to take the audience for a ride.Expectations were high for this movie, and it does not meet any of those. There was lot of media hype around the story/screenplay by Shibani Bhatija, but alas....!

Kunal Kohli, critic (CHALO CINEMA) turned director ironically who use to pan movies for being regular run of mill affairs, fails prey to his own set standards. Result, neither does FANAA falls in the entertainer cateogory nor does it fall in class movie zone . Production values are as per expectations from the banner.Will someone explain, why the kid was sporting the aamir khan hair cut ? Now that was one LOUD HINT for an assumed dumb audience ! Length is another drawback of the movie, it could do with a trimming of nearly 45 minutes of non-value added scenes.

The perfectionist Aamir also cannot save this half baked character of a terrosist cum romantica !! Give it a miss, not worth the trip to the theatre. No Chalo Cinema, for this one at least.
