Review of Fan (2016) by Gary G — 05 May 2016

What a Terrific return! ?ShahRukhKhan? in the mood to diminish.There is hardly any ?#?romance, not a ??single ??song, little to ??laugh about. Instead there is action ?chases and ??unbridled ?emotions of the very ??serious kind - in a film that's all about a ??fan's ??pursuit of the ??star and then the star trying to ??hunt? down the #fan.

And ?#?SRK? takes a ?huge ??stride forward to make the ?twin? roles of ?Gaurav Chanana? and ?Aryan Khanna his very own in a way that you can't ??imagine anyone else. ShahRukhKhan is in full ??command of both the characters.

He gives both Aryan and Gaurav ample room to grow, grow apart and then clash in ways that shows what skillful scripting can do to a superstar's yearning to excel. ShahRukh's Gaurav Chanana takes us on a roller-coaster ride.

'Rehne de tu nahi samjhega' (let it be, you won't understand) is the last thing we hear on 2 hours of director Maneesh Sharma trying to make the audiences understand' exactly that -- what it means to be a Fan & he does it very gracefully.
