(*: least, *****: highest)
Tere Dile mein meri saanson ko panah mil jaaye
Tere Ishq mein meri Jaan Fanaa Ho jaayeÄ.
Please stand up and welcome back Kajol… So good to see her after such a long time but just like old wine she just keeps getting better. Fanaa is truly her film.
It seems Kunal Kohli did everything right but his direction. Right through the film everything seemed ok… this movie had even a lesser share of corny and pointless situations which makes you go “what the hell were they thinking?”. I was wondering the acting is great, the songs brilliant, the movie had good story, the background score perfect and not to mention the good use of the elaborate budget… but I guess the whole show was not put up to the efficiency that would hv made this movie special. Fortunately the movie does not entirely go to dust… Its definitely watchable
The one simply amazing part is the Urdu poetry… Simply nectar in the ears. Some of the lines truly take your breadth away…
Bekhudi Ki Zindagi Hum Jiya Nahi Karte,
Yun kisika ka Jaam Hum Piya Nahi Karte.
Unse Kehdo Mohabbat Ka Izhaar Aakar Khud Karein,
Yun Kisika Peecha Hum Nahin KarteÄ
(One of my favorite ones… :) )
The strongest point in the movie is the acting… Kajol, simply superb is all I can think of… I doubt there would be 1 or 2 other Indian actresses that could pull off this role (Rani probably). Aamir Khan, Awesome and as diligent as always… people who hv seen his ads know how much effort he puts into every second of his onscreen role. The little kid in the movie is truly the charm of the movie and is just too cute to ignore :)
All in all this movie is worth the price of the ticket… you wont come out thinking you watched the best movie ever but you wont feel you wasted 2.5 hours of your day :)
