Fan is an out-and-out SRK show, in which the star proves again that he can greenlight roles completely out of his comfort zone, and deliver. Fan is the best Shah Rukh Khan film in the last few years.
When Shah Rukh Khan decides to go real and understated, it always makes for compelling viewing. Though Fan is far from being perfect, it urges us to think about issues relating to stardom, fandom, idolatry and public expectations from famous people without overtly appearing to do so.
