Namrata Joshi Outlook The chemistry between Aamir and Kajol is palpable and unmistakable. Rated: 3/4 Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Nathan Lee New York Times Fanaa mines this conceit with an operatic extravagance -- and a body count -- that the Korean pulpmeister Park Chan Wook would envy. Rated: 3/5 Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Poonam Joshi BBC.com ... Fanaa falls into the realm of disposable melodrama, yet is rendered strangely entertaining thanks to Aamir and Kajol. Rated: 3/5 Jun 6, 2006 Full Review Raam Tarat Future Movies UK Verdict - If you're suffering from acute insomnia, buy a ticket and slip in at the interval. Rated: 3/5 Jul 15, 2006 Full Review Ethan Alter Film Journal International Anyone who feels that the summer's first few blockbusters have been overly predictable should give Fanaa a try. Jul 7, 2006 Full Review David Chute L.A. Weekly The sheer exuberant star power of this movie's early scenes of romance and lip-synching among the national monuments is irresistible.

Umrbek Z Good poetry, acting, and more Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Bineetha E It's awesome... Touches deep Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Audience Member good job nice movie. cliff scene was everything to me. peak visual effects of all time. <3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Fanaa is a dream that stays in the heart foever! Fanaa is a love story which has been written as a love story ,directed as a love story and acted like a love story. Fanna belongs totally to Aamir and Kajol ,who both have delivered a brilliant performance. Kajol plays Zooni with such a class and natural , she reached ,with Fanaa, a place that no other actress ,today, can reach or even come close.she was breathtaking. Aamir plays Rehan, though it's a unusual role that many of Bollywood actors would turn down(nobody wants to play the anti-hero anymore), he makes it real to the core,you follow him through the whole transition of his character,you love him and you hate him at the same time !Aamir is the master of acting today. The chemistry between Aamir and Kajol was terrific!Kajol matches Aamir ,like the sun matches the sky,they delighted every frame of the screen! an award the best Jodi of 2006 will be simply fair! The other actors were efficient! The music of Fanaa is beautiful and the videos makes it just better:a high note to Dekho Na,Kunal managed to control the little space of the shot with ease and closeups of Aamir and Kajol were fantastic.however,it's Mere Haath Me that steals the show,it was just superb,and it will be fair enough to say that this video will be the reference for any romantic song !(the reference was for a long time,Suraj Hua Madham of k3g). the script of Fanaa has some mistakes for sure,but when you watch Aamir and Kajol together you just forget and forgive! Beautifully shot,Fanaa makes you following the journey of two lovers who maybe wanted and deserved their part of happiness,so they knocked the heaven's door but another destiny was writing for them. go watch Fanaa once for Kajol,twice for Aamir,a third time for Aamir and Kajol,and watch it again and again and again for all those reasons! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review yash b "Fanaa" is a truly unique romance movie. I didn't expect the story to take the direction it did, but I was impressed by how morally complex it was. It really makes you question between right and wrong and the dilemma the two leads are put in is very thought provoking and interesting. The strong performances from Aamir Khan and Kajol are probably the film's greatest assets and their chemistry is very good, even though it may be developed a bit too quickly to be considered realistic, but since its Bollywood, I was able to go with it. The movie has two strikingly different halves and both bring something to the table. The second half does have some pacing issues here and there but it's unlike any Bollywood romance you've ever seen, and it definitely deserves major props for that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very beautiful film. Top acting of both. Want to know about Kashmir ? Then watch it. There is no fault in this film if you remember that it is only a film. You will remember the powerful acting. What a wonderful movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
