Review

“FANAA is one of the finest products to come out of Yash Raj. In fact, it wouldn’t be erroneous to state that it’s one of the most accomplished products to hit the Indian screens in a long, long time. The film works on every level: script, music, visuals, technique and yes, the performances. The writing (screenplay: Shibani Bathija) pushes the envelope, taking us in new and unexpected directions. Every time you thought you recognized where the story was headed, the movie surprises you. Cinematically speaking, this is a well-balanced, multi-course meal. Dialogues (Kunal Kohli) are excellent, specially the shayari throughout the movie. FANAA is gorgeously composed and photographed by cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran. The locales of New Delhi and Poland enhance the visual impact. Music (Jatin-Lalit) is pleasing to the ears. ‘Chand Sifarish’ and ‘Mere Haath Mein’ are two melodious gems. ‘Chanda Chamke’ [the tongue twister] appeals because it comes at a time when you yearn for some relief. The action scenes (George Aguilar), in minimal doses, are kinetic and exciting. Background score (Salim-Sulaiman) is topnotch. The sound quality (Dileep Subramaniam) is excellent.

The acting is of the highest caliber. In fact, most performances in the enterprise are perfect — no hints of artifice or fakery. Yet, there’s no doubt that one of the assets of the film is the chemistry between the lead pair. Aamir successfully buries his personality beneath Rehan’s, allowing the character to come to the fore. The ferocity with which Aamir delivers his lines and the restless energy he imparts to his character, electrifies every scene that he’s in. Rishi Kapoor is efficient. Kiron Kher is lovable. Shruti Seth is excellent as Kajol’s friend. Satish Shah, Sharat Saxena, Lilette Dubey, Jaspal Bhatti and Vrajesh Hirjee are effective. The child artist is fantastic.

On the whole, Fanaa is a beautifully written, effectively acted and meticulously crafted effort that is likely to remind many viewers of a simple axiom: A movie doesn’t have to be groundbreaking to be compelling. The first weekend business will be historic, the first week billing will be unprecedented and in the wake of no major oppositions for the next two weeks, Fanaa will attain the ‘Hit’ status in a matter of days. In short, Fanaa is yet another landmark film in the remarkable and enviable repertoire of Yash Raj. ” –platform47.com
