There are movies that shake the heart, movies that shake the brain and movies that shake both, the heart and the brain.The third kind is a rarity but we always hope to see it once a while.But,by watching KANK,i discover another kind of movies:movies that give you a chest pain and a headache ,litterally! I'm a fan of Mr SRK and Mr KARAN JOHAR as well and i have always loved the duo be it in KKHH or K3G.So,i expected an outstanding package.Sadly the film was a complete let down!Since most of you know the story,it's about two married people who got an affair and separated then got together and lived happy ever after and in the rush,they killed a man and destroyed four souls!So,i will discuss the form!The first half is like watching a cheap sexy comedy flick(when i heard Mr Amitabh Bachchan making that comment about Ms Kiron Kher' A**,i felt like i was dying.The most degrading comment,at least in my point of view,that a man can make toward a woman,even in the name of flirt,is a comment about her A** no matter how cute or great her A** is),and the second half is like watching a boring soap opera!This is the first time that a film had blown up all my knowledge about love and marriage.Mr Karan Johar is not married,he is not in love as i know and i'm not quit sure about his sexual preferences(what ever they are ,i don't give any care!),so under what name is he preaching?I'm not against finding happiness,neither i'm against divorce and certainly not denying that infidelity exists.However why trying to portray the protagonists Dev-Srk and Maya-Rani as victims of their unhappy marriages.All i see in them is pure selfish people who want to get what they need(to fulfill their physical needs more than love need,as i look at it) even if they broke the hearts of loving and caring partners.And above all that why Mr Karan want us to sympathies with them by making them separate for tree years before getting together as like they ,now,have had their part of sorrow and paid their dues.But what makes me out of my mind is that he keeps affirming that everybody is blessing their love affair,even GOD(the scene in the church at the beginning of their affair).Yeah what ever!Oh,I don't want to forget the fact that the two were handicapped(Dev can't walk"straight" and Maya can't bear children)!Mr Karan Johar,it's a serious offense to the intelligence of the handicapped people,who are complete human been...and in the grown-up hood,we are ,all, totally and absolutely responsible of our choices and our acts.That doesn't prevent us from making mistakes,that's for sure,but that doesn't set us free to get away from the punishment neither! Nothing can save a flat script not even these stars.The film could ended by the confrontation of the partners about their unhappy marriages.Then they could get divorce and lead their lives as they want.Stretching the movie to that point was a waste of time ,money and talent. A somehow fade performances added to the agony of a sensible and serious but weakly handled topic.The only saving grace is Abishek.I never though in my wildest dreams that i can say that but this is the naked truth!.Srk,king khan,i was hoping for a phenomenal performance,specially after witnessing him ,through all these weeks,affirming he is the king of Bollywood.But all we get is the same old boring Srk,even worst:he was a sarcastic one.We hear about actors changing their look for a role by growing their hair,growing their muscles and even shaving their chest,but being the king,Srk has found a new way for a new look:a joined eyebrows look.The man could sound funny,could sound sad but one look to his face and u get lost in the middle of his grimaces.I can't understand reviews which say that it was his finest performance ever.Aree Yaar,even in Shakti,he looked less constipated.Rani,i saw Rani the star nothing more nothing less!She was there with full make up and lavish gowns,looking sad ,maybe, but certainly not looking as a critically acclaimed actress.Preity,all i can say is that she played her part mechanically, she said in an interview that she was happy to do a role where she can wear clothes that cost more money than some films!Well i'm happy for her.Mr Amitabh Bachchan,with my deep respect,u should listen to your wife who warned you from this role because woman knows best.Kiron Kher ,what a waste of a great talent! I'm still exhausted from watching KANK,and i feel so sorry for those who lost their money and didn't like the film,but i feel more sorry for those who liked it because,biased ,they are unaware that they lost their money too! The film is technically good,but i would rather watch an annoying action flick of the 80's than this one! The music was a sweet killing routine,the videos were beautifully shot and the special appearance of Kajol and Jhon was felt.By the way i didn't mention that Arjun Rampal has a special appearance in the film,one question for him:why the he** did you agree to do this film?Some facts you need to know: 1-When you have a woman who provides you the bread,treat her like a queen 2-When you have a man who loves you with all his soul,give him your all3-When you have a father that look only for sex,remember him that he can die at any time (from heart attack or from Sida as well) 4-When you have a child ,love him for what he is and not for what u want him to be! 5-Never talk to strangers,the day of your wedding,they can change your life 6-Dump a loser before he dumps you 7-Leave you wife if she doesn't sleep with you!.I still have this headache,but my chest pain is gone as i dig out,with this review, all i have inside my little heart or almost!

Fanaa
(2006)
Fanaa is a dream that stays in the heart foever!
30 May 2006
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!
