"FANAA" needs PANAH (protection, refuge) !!!

"Tere dil mein meri saanson ko panah mil jaaye, Tere ishq mein meri jaan Fanaa ho jaaye!"... Looks like a line of making or breaking a relationship in a love affair. It can really build up a relationship coz its damn too emotionally striking. On the contrary, it can break a relationship by the fact that it sounds totally out of the box, i.e. way beyond a romantic shayari. LMAO! And thatz the line that revolves around all through the movie of a different kind directed by a not-so-successful director Kunal Kohli...

The movie kicks off with a humorous and fun-filled beginning. The intro scene of the hero Aamir makes u feel that this movie's gona keep u glued to the seats till the end with its feel good factor. The boat keeps sailin in the first half with romantic and funny shayaris well written and well spoken by Aamir. The cliched part of falling in love and all the love songs execute themsleves in the first half of the movie, that doesnt make u bored at all. The game begins testing ur patience level after the intermission. The director has placed all the songs before the interval that there was nothing left in the second half except for a single song later on. The movie drags, sans shayaris, sans humour - that is all the last 1 hour of the movie is all about. It takes on a total turn towards the on-goings of the indian army and terrorism in kashmir. That was something u wudnt have expected while watching the first half. There are a few scenes with in-built flaws, a trademark of indian movies. Can u believe, the hero is stabbed with a knife right in the middle of his body and he manages to walk all the way in snowy kashmir lands to look out for help! Arey, it happens only in bollywood...
Inspite of the dragging later half of the movie, the direction and script is worth a mention. Some of the shots have been taken with splendid backgrounds and sets. The background score pulls u totally into the movie, well matched with the situations running on screen. I have nothing to talk abt the songs, coz they've already taken the nation's music freaks by storm n giving other music directors a run for their money! These r some of the good notes about the movie...
Anyways, the movie is worth watching and "a paisa wasool" inspite of some of the flaws it has. And if u r in love, this is a must-watch for u. So all u romeo-juliets in town, hit it! I personally rank the movie 6.5 on 10, Subhanallah...
Until a new gud movie hits the screens, this is Kabir's review team signing off... Chow!
