Movie Details & Credits

Yash Raj Films | Release Date: May 26, 2006

Starring: Aamir Khan, Kajol

Summary: Choices... to choose between right or wrong is simple, but what defines one's life is the decision between the greater of two goods or the lesser of two evils. This is the advice Zooni Ali Beg (Kajol) receives from her father just as she is about to venture out into the world on her own for the very first time. Little does she know thatChoices... to choose between right or wrong is simple, but what defines one's life is the decision between the greater of two goods or the lesser of two evils. This is the advice Zooni Ali Beg (Kajol) receives from her father just as she is about to venture out into the world on her own for the very first time. Little does she know that these very words will shape her life. Zooni, a blind Kashmiri girl, Rehan Qadri (Khan), a local tour guide and an incorrigible flirt, who goes from city to city exploring their architecture and also the women. Her friends warn her against this good-for-nothing roadside Romeo, but she chooses to ignore them. She is not one to be protected. It is now her time to discover life, and love. Is this really the right choice? Rehan is fascinated by Zooni. He truly wants her to see life as it should be seen, in its many colors - and as he promises her, the time spent with him will be the most precious in all her life. Zooni sees Delhi, life and love like she never has, because of Rehan. What Zooni doesn't know is that Rehan has another side of his life that he has kept from her - something that won't only change her life, but also destroy it. (Yash Raj Films)… Expand

Critic Reviews

John Anderson

To resort to strictly ethnocentric references, Fanaa is equal parts MGM extravaganza, Shakespeare lite and James Bond. In their heart of hearts, isn't that what movie audiences really want? Read full review

Nathan Lee

The epic Bollywood extravaganza Fanaa goes so far over the top that it reinvents itself halfway and launches on a brand new trajectory of the absurd. Read full review

David Chute

The movie’s entire first half turns out to be an elaborate fake-out, a setup for a plot reversal so extreme it could induce whiplash even in seasoned Bollywood hands. As clumsily engineered by writer-director Kunal Kohli (Hum Tum), the sudden changeover from romance to political techno-thriller is likely to be especially startling for non-Indians.

Good Movie. Great Performances. Awsome Aamir-Kajol chemistry. So My only question is why didnt these two legends act opposite each other before?

It is a beautiful movie. Excellent performance by Kajol in the first half as a blind girl and in the seconf half as a mother. Aamir is slightly disappointing through the movie. The conviction that he puts in his movies was missing in this movie.

The actors were good. The location was great. The songs are not memorable but passable. What really killed the experience was the movie length and the plot. Character of Amir Khan was hardly fleshed out for him to do any justice to it. The editor could have done more to make the movie make The actors were good. The location was great. The songs are not memorable but passable. What really killed the experience was the movie length and the plot. Character of Amir Khan was hardly fleshed out for him to do any justice to it. The editor could have done more to make the movie make more sense and a bit more believable. All in all, I would have preferred watching it on VCD/DVD.… Expand

A good first half and it took amazing courage from immature director to ruin the second half by making it unwatchable. Excellent music by Jatin-Lalit killed in a bad screen-play. The film is copied from Guide, Heer Ranjha, Veer Zaara, DDLJ, Daag, Behind Enemy Lines, Bourne A good first half and it took amazing courage from immature director to ruin the second half by making it unwatchable. Excellent music by Jatin-Lalit killed in a bad screen-play. The film is copied from Guide, Heer Ranjha, Veer Zaara, DDLJ, Daag, Behind Enemy Lines, Bourne Supremacy,Darr....and what not. As Mr. Kunal Kohli used to say in Chalo Cinema...Yeh film bhi Box Office pe KUCH NAHIN KAR PAYEGI . Extremely poor direction and a brain dead man could pen a more logical screen-play. Fanaa destroyed by script… Expand
