FAN (2016)

The much awaited movie with quiet a few trailers and the revelations released today and dozens of people with clouded perceptions walked in but left with mixed reactions, which is oblivious, but all in all the movie takes you on very different journey, that triumphs doing the uniform justice to the storyline.

An obsessive thriller movie, that highlights the fandom of a stardom is a story of a simpleton guy from the city Delhi who is a super fan of the super star Aryan Khanna (SRK). He sets on a journey to meet Aryan just like any other ordinary fan, but, and I say the but in capital letters, this is just not any other ordinary fan. The obsession struck fan who sets out to meet his dream, and when the things don't exactly turn white according to him, he decides to turn black. An obsession would have been okay, but when the obsession meets black, they together brings a mess, a big mess. As I said you the story is not the one you might be prepared for, perhaps its the one that prepares the distinguished image of a FAN. 

If one had to write this very concept in words that could vividly explain the layers of the obsession of a fandom, then this is a flawless writing rooting the concept. With an ace acting to the apt dialogues, the movie perfectly shapes the word tension and drills it in you. The tensed you walks with an end that is not so welcoming, but it had to end. Now talking about the character performance part, its SRK who is playing the obsessive fan of the superstar SRK himself again. Laying this on a canvas you will see that, SRK in real has to play the part of the fan and the superstar as well. So its 3 characters involved, the real him has to play his real stardom life with an opulent family and lifestyle, and again the real him has to play the obsessive fan. So, when you watch it on screen, it pretty comfortable to see him sliding in and out of the 2 characters, but only when you understand the variations in the personality and behavior only then can you understand the level of focus that an actor needs to induce. 

                                     


With the rough chase between a Fan & the Star, its the Star who wins the race, but this winning is not a good memory to the actor, as the count of his Fan goes down by winning over him. A movie worth watching, but again let me remind you, this is not one of those feel good movie that you might expect with the SRK & YRF jodi. This one is the different and is totally worth a watch. The story length is 2 hours 22 minutes with zero songs to dress up the movie, its barely naked with only the story that will amaze you.
