Fannah

Fannah
Rating: 8/10

Much awaited, Aamir-Kajol coming together for the first time, controversies before its release, banned in Gujarat for Aamir’s political remarks, all made Fannah a must see movie for this year. Aamir and Kajol have been together at least once before, in Isqk (1997), but not paired together. Aamir flaunts yet another hair style, not that he looks any younger with that, in fact as the movie progress 7 years on, he manages to look a lot younger and smarter in the military cut. The movie is well paced till interval and then slows down, keeping in line with the love story as the central theme rather than preaching for war or peace. Even till the very end you are not sure if Aamir is going to have a change of heart or continue with his mission of Kashmir’s freedom struggle. I will leave it for you to find that out. Kajol looks gorgeous and has done well as a come back, surely the best comeback in recent times. The first half is fun filled, especially Aamir’s shayaries. There is a sequence where Lara Datta makes a special appearance, but it has almost no relevance to the movie except it gives Aamir a chance to roll off few more good shayaries…iss baazar ka dastoor kya samjhaun tumhne…jo khud bhik chuke hain, woh doosron pe daam nahi lagaya karte…or something like that. Rishi Kapoor, Kirron Kher, Jaspal Bhatti and Satish Shah have done well too.
If you are a die hard AK fan, you probably have seen the movie by now, others I do recommend it.
Verdict: Must watch for Aamir fans!
