Fan (I) (2016)

All hail the king, The actor in SRK.

[9/10 · 16 April 2016]

So FAN isn't your typical run-of-the-mill, commercial potboiler (read: the last couple of SRK films)

It is absurd, psychic, weird, cryptic, and oh-so-darned-intriguing.

The concept is simple "The fans maketh the star", but the execution is complex and just so bamboozling.

There is a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is known for his intense roles. This film brings back the menacing Darr-Baazigar-Anjaam-esque SRK back and he is pure masterclass.

You may love him. You may hate him. But you can't help but admire the guy's acting ability.

The film drags a bit in the second-half, and sways away from reality for a sizeable amount of time, but you can still make do with it.

Aryan Khanna is the name of the narcissistic superstar in the film. But when you come out of the theatre, the immensely insane yet innocent Gaurav Chandana baffles your mind.

This film is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people might deliberately hate it, but hey, that is the persona of SRK. The most polarising actor ever.

Thank You Maneesh Sharma for bringing back "The Actor SRK" whom we desperately missed since My Name Is Khan. Kudos to the team for choosing something so risky and so brave.

Films like these are not made for Huge Box Office Collections, they are made for sheer uniqueness.

You may agree with me. You may disagree with me. All I would like to say is "Rehnede, Tu Nahi Samjhega".

PK (2014)

Rib Tickling Message Oriented Movie

[8/10 · 3 January 2015]

PK is one of the better movies in the recent times. Could have been better without some songs. Though its similar to Oh My God, Raju Hirani adds his own flavor and style.

Plot: It all starts of with Aamir being an alien and is on a research mission with his spaceship landing at Rajasthan. His remote gets stolen and he is not at all acquainted with human beings and their behavior. Slowly he learns Bhojpuri and asks everyone about his remote. They advice him to ask GOD and thus starts the journey of PK and his search for GOD and then all other things unfold which would be better watching on-screen then simply reading a review. Artiste's Performance: Aamir's performance is top-notch. Anushka Sharma looks a bit artificial but plays her part convincingly. Saurabh Shukla is very good as the Tapasvi Maharaj. Sushant Singh Rajput is superb. Boman Irani & Sanjay Dutt are awesome in their respective roles.

Director: Raju Hirani again proves why he is the best director in India. Though its not his best it is still a great film. The aura he creates, the way he portrays each and every character is outstanding. Kudos to Rajkumar Hirani for making such a simple and sensible film.

Conclusion: Its totally rib tickling in the first half, emotional in the second half but that's OK. I guess there will be a sequel to this with both Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan. I think those who want this film to be banned simply cannot understand witty humor. Overall a must watch.! In 2012 it was OMG, In 2014 its PK. India needs movies like these now and then..
