Its my favourite movie that I watched 6 times. I am also a big fan of shahrukh khan. I have seen almost each movie of shahrukh .its casting is also good.in this movie shahrukh khan acted himself.
Fan is Shah Rukh Khan’s triumph all the way. He pulls off a terrifically dramatic double act, altering his look, feel and intensity, but as Gaurav, Shah Rukh makes you forget everything - except feeling scared. With buck teeth, stammering in haste, howling with rejection, holding Aryan’s daughter rather close, Gaurav darkly disturbs. Shah Rukh charts Gaurav’s deterioration, from a cheerful, clumsy Delhi’launda’, with a crush on’Miss BPO’ Neha(Shriya), to a relentless stalker who perfects Aryan’s confidence - till the facade breaks.
The story is cutting-edge and settings sharp(at a millionaire wedding, the host yells at Aryan for being late to dance) with clever details - Sid Kapoor can’t read Gaurav’s note as, ’It’s in Hindi, dude!" while Gaurav, despite adopting Aryan’s swag, eats’wegetable sandwich’ abroad.
Alongside, Maneesh Sharma paints a compelling larger picture of Delhi, where heat and dust, violence and want, make tempers explode in a very particular Dilli ki garmi. Shah Rukh captures this rage with irony and empathy - he is, as he nicely puts it, mind-blasting.
The action’s glorious but stretches while the naivete of Gaurav’s parents(Deepika and Yogendra), unaware of their only child’s feelings, seems slightly unbelievable. Yet, ending with a Baazigar-esque twist, Fan makes you feel Darr all over again.i like it too much
