In a world of labels it's easy to forget who made sportsmen, pop singers and matinee idols into stars, superstars and megastars - the FANS. Every FAN has their own personal relationship with their hero - it's almost a Love Story. FAN is the story of Gaurav (Shah Rukh Khan) a young man, 20 something, whose world revolves around the mega movie star Aryan Khanna (Shah Rukh Khan) or God as he refers to him. From the by lanes of Delhi, young Gaurav embarks on a journey to the city of dreams, Mumbai, in order to wish his God on his birthday. After all, he is Aryan's biggest FAN and even has a striking resemblance to him - how difficult could it be for the world biggest FAN to get an audience with the world's biggest Star. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's love and passion for his God turns in to a dangerous obsession that crosses the fine line. In an edge of the seat thriller, FAN will peel away at both Gaurav and Aryan's personalities and characters as the two men discover ... Written by Official Agent
So FAN isn't your typical run-of-the-mill, commercial potboiler (read: the last couple of SRK films)
It is absurd, psychic, weird, cryptic, and oh-so-darned-intriguing.
The concept is simple "The fans maketh the star", but the execution is complex and just so bamboozling.
There is a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is known for his intense roles. This film brings back the menacing Darr-Baazigar-Anjaam-esque SRK back and he is pure masterclass.
You may love him. You may hate him. But you can't help but admire the guy's acting ability.
The film drags a bit in the second-half, and sways away from reality for a sizeable amount of time, but you can still make do with it.
Aryan Khanna is the name of the narcissistic superstar in the film. But when you come out of the theatre, the immensely insane yet innocent Gaurav Chandana baffles your mind.
This film is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people might deliberately hate it, but hey, that is the persona of SRK. The most polarising actor ever.
Thank You Maneesh Sharma for bringing back "The Actor SRK" whom we desperately missed since My Name Is Khan. Kudos to the team for choosing something so risky and so brave.
Films like these are not made for Huge Box Office Collections, they are made for sheer uniqueness.
You may agree with me. You may disagree with me. All I would like to say is "Rehnede, Tu Nahi Samjhega".
