Movie Fanaa which means Destroyed in Love is a 2006 Indian romantic drama type film directed by Kunal and produced by Yash Raj Films.The film stars Aamir Khan in an anti-hero role, Kajol as his blind love interest, and Rishi Kapoor, Tabu and Sharat Saxena in supporting roles. Aamir Khan plays the very well role of Delhi tourist guide and Kajol plays a wonderful blind Kashmiri girl. The make-up was just wonderful. Both of Amir and kajol fall in love, but are separated by a terrorist bombing. There was a very wonderful presentation of suspense. The music of movie Fanaa was composed by Jatin-Lalit with lyrics penned by Prasoon Joshi.fanaa which is title song is one of the romantic and amazing song. Five songs are featured in the movie.overall i think music was good. Finally i rated this movie with 6 stars.

Kajol and Aamir have to be the absolute best choices for the main characters of this movie as their acting is spot on and they make a great pair together in the story line. Not your typical Hindi love story where the guy and girl are annoyed with each other at first. They hit is off in the beginning but the story takes a radical twist in the middle and is non-stop on the edge mystery and drama to the end from there. Supporting rolls by Rishi Kapoor and Kirron Kher are spot on (who doesn't love their acting?). Tabu's roll is a bit mediocre and doesn't add much to the story, but it is a smaller role anyways so there is no time to develop her character. A quick pop in by Laura Dutta doesn't add much either and is a bit weird feeling like a quick add to the script. The ending is a surprise and ties up the story nice and neat. The music is pretty good, though the only dance scene that stands out is by Kajol as she performs on stage for an audience (brilliant song and brilliant lyrics). Though not exactly a dude movie, there is a good story to keep any guy enjoying this flick. A good couples movie and a must see classic for any Hindi film fan.

I was very impressed by the music of the film which leads me to see this film excited as I was the film falls straight down hill from the word go...Pathetic film, poor acing, poor screenplay! ordinary paces movie, amir khan couldn't do justice to the negative character! The Amir kajol chemistry is no where to amir SRK chemistry! The 2nd half is incredibly predictable, with the child rehan too bad in acting! the movie cashed in only for its hype, the foolish amir khan fans may go and waste their time and money to watch this crap! even Hrithik's Main Prem ki Diwani hoon is better than this!

This is the kind of film with both enchants and annoys you. it is charming for the photography, for the poetic dialogs in the first part, for acting (it was nice seeing again Kajol), for the music (the songs where fine, even though they were sometimes spoiled by some cheap arrangement). It annoys you because of some avoidable discrepancies: first of all, if a blind person regains sight, it is unlikely that s/he will recognize shapes and people instantly. On the contrary, it can even be that this person won't be able to see as normal people at all (there is an insightful essay by Oliver Sacks on this matter). This sensorial nonsense is repeated when Zooni (Kajol) and Rehan (Khan) meet again: seven years have passed, she still lives in the middle of nowhere, but hasn't forget her first love yet; he's wounded and knocks at her door, she can see but has never seen him. Nevertheless I had expected that she would have recognized him from his voice, but this didn't happen. The director set up a series of misunderstandings full of suspense and very enjoyable indeed: since their child (a child conceived during their only night together: I know people that would make a vote for such a fertility) is also called Rehan, she keeps shouting his name, making us believe that she's finally recognized her beloved. but this won't happen until he says something that he has already said in the past. Then the element that makes the recognition possible is in words more that in how they are said. I noticed elsewhere in Indian films this tendency to privilege words. I have also noticed the belief that knowledge is not possible out of seeing (two instances: Bairaag and Amar Akbar Anthony). Still we all know that voices can easily identify people, even many years later, and this would be even truer for someone who was blind. Besides, another thing that I find hard to believe is Zooni's unconditioned happiness when Rehan decides that she has to undergo an operation; in fact I read it as a sign of his not acceptance of her being the way she is. But discrepancies are so many that it is no use counting them. For instance, all the plot revolves around a trigger, and we are supposed to believe that someone is able to build an atom bomb capable of destroying a town, but not its trigger the trigger is the size of a handy, was it not enough. And if you took for granted that Rehan takes some attentions in hiding it, you would be quite disappointed seeing it ticking off its jacket. But we know that the value of Bollywood films lays less in its realism than in other aspects. Only, I would expect at least some kind of emotional consequentiality, but even here I am often disappointed. During the entire second half, I am constantly upset by Zooni's impotence to understand what kind of man she is in love with. It is as if this love would cancel everything else. It is no longer a matter of choosing between two different evils (this seems to be the moral of the film), as far as love hides every other aspect of reality. For instance, Rehan kills Zooni's father, but this doesn't cause a big reaction in her, and for the umpteenth time she still shows her unimpeachable love. On the other hand, Rehan fights for a cause (right? wrong? is this terrorism or fight for independence? The point is quite ambiguous: in fact we see Rehan killing soldiers and not civilians, like if the director didn't want to compromise certain portions of the market; on the other hand, we see soldiers as human beings, therefore it is not easy to understand what the director thinks - I can see on the forum that this ambiguity gives space for quite different kinds of readings). I find annoying that love is confined to the couple, and that fight is assumed to detach people from every kind of emotional bond as well as rational attitude: the soldier Rehan simply obeys orders, he has to accomplish his mission and never asks himself if what he is doing is right; on the other hand, also Zooni, blinded by her love, doesn't care about what Rehan does out of their relationship. She doesn't care whether he has killed ten soldiers or not, as long as he decides to stay by her side. But, I ask myself, what kind of love is this, which doesn't have any regard for the world outside the couple? An unconditioned love without values? Maybe love, with its tendency to isolate couples, is not one of the pillars of society, but at least it could be less destructive when considering also the rights (not just civil, also emotional) of other people. What more can I say, this film stimulated me a lot of thoughts, therefore it was worth seen. As I said, it was annoying, but this annoyance lead to a lot of thinking. Better than just another boring film.
